Default Re: Indy Quota

Bobby x 2,
Indy is The Big Go. The original and the best. Right in the middle of the country.It's always been about going fast!

The current system is all we have but leaves a lot to be desired.
Look at it this way. Every year we get more go-fast goodies.NHRA can't seem to leave their hands off Stock.
Cars go faster every year, but the indexes stay the same for decades.
Everyone here knows the AHFS is being manipulated.

Back to Indy:
They let in 160 cars, so it takes almost a second under to get in, which is an AHFS trigger. 1.20 under is an instant hit...So, you would have 128 or more, trying to qualify or win class at the biggest race of the year, yet trying to work the system at the same time , inside a two tenths window.

I agree with NHRA on this one, (which may sound strange to some of you).
I believe it's a great idea to suspend the charade and the joke for Indy

I think Indy still has the “hall pass” rule in effect, so no HP hits. Last big hit was Larry Hill with the Big Red Truck a few years ago.

Bobby and the rest of you that think Indy should have the AHFS count. Stock and Super Stock used to be a performance based class. So the one National Event that you get to let it rip you want everyone to still play the AHFS game. We all know how to turn the distributor add more weight and oil. Why turn Indy back into that. You don't get the money we did at one time for a class win. So how many of us would run fast enough to set ourselves up for HP? Not I. The system needs work I think we can all agree on that.

Painter I was hoping to hear back from James. I haven't looked outside he probably has towed my truck.

Chuck we have no problem cooking for you. Love your entrance. Even my wife gave it a thumbs up.

Todd I called Joe twice looks like we will be holding the sign for Joe again this year. BP
