Has anyone changed their mind about AA/SA index?

[Randall Klein]

Maybe should be a separate thread, but what's the early "buzz" on Indy S/SS qualifying bump....given average Indy weather, not mineshaft nor overly hot-humid

One industry insider told me 1 under

[Another Friendly Racer]

Positive, swift move by the NHRA. Good job Mr. Noland, Bailey , Teuton and anyone else involved.

I have a question about AA/S and AA/SA since they both have the same index. If both cars met up in any round would they race heads up? Just curious.

Thanks

. No...

[Jeff Teuton]

So it's 10.70 now. That is quick service.

[Mike Keener]

Better than nothing but not really much help here for would be Indy qualifiers. Last year it took -.87 to get in and looks like the bump this year may be somewhere in the low -.90 something range.

This little gift just hosed the ZL1@7.02... One hit and out....

Barry, how did an index change hose a combination?

[Jared Jordan]

I assume he meant that it'll be easier for the ZL1 in question (which is really fast...) to go -1.0 under and get a hit, thereby taking it out of AA/SA. I didn't know it broke that close to 7.00 lb/hp. AA is actually it's heaviest class.

Hypothetically, I can't help but wonder what happens if that combo happens to get hit. Will NHRA do something to allow it in Stock? I know that, technically, it should be SS only at that point.

We need to contact NASA
