my guess.899

my guess, .911 under and there will be 45 "new" FS cars making up stock eliminator.

Lately, there seems to be some "renewed" enforcement by the NHRA Tech Dept.... Which is a good thing.... Look for the barn to become a center of activity at INDY. With that being said, after this years teardowns, the bump will be lower than the past couple years. My guess, look for something around .885 under.

I will go with - .905

Jim, I think those that go to Indy are ready for teardown. I hope there are more teardowns in NHRA, but don't think it will change much at Indy

I’ll guess that the first alternate that gets in will be .882 under.
So that’s number 129 qualifier.

The bump in Stock gets softer every year since the AHFS has not in place....

2019......881 under

2018.....889 under

2017.....893

2016....893

Hopefully Mr Teuton chips in, otherwise this thread will be unnatural...and best I recall he always gets pretty close. In any case I think Terry is pretty close but do think the FS qualifiers will number closer to 50. I’m still ‘ciphering’ on the Super Stock number, probably more AH cars will get in against a 9.60 index.

Definitely more SS/AH cars will get in against the 9.60 index; but, of those that do, how many will choose to run in Super Stock eliminations?
