Anyone from 1 to 128 could shut someone else out with an illegal Car.
Your spot on the sheet do not matter.

True but the fast cars have a distinct advantage in a heads up situation that the lower qualified "Slow " car does not have.

Over the past few years there have been no cars found to be illegal or bending the rules at Indy. Even the really fast cars. I doubt they will find much this year either. They are tearing down less than 10% of the qualifiers And I don't believe there is many that are flagrantly bending the rules at least not at Indy where they do actually tear some of the cars down. We will see this year with Wesley there checking things.

Alright, we get it! NHRA sucks, Stock eliminator sucks and it was so much better 30 years ago, everybody is cheating, etc.

Thanks Nick, I couldn't have set it better myself.


On another note as this is a live from thread and not lets bash NHRA every chance we get. Gary Summers is out as his head was incorrect for his combo. So that is two cars out Summers and Brannon.

Ken are you able to elaborate on the incorrect head? only legal head in 77' is the D7OE-DA was the -DA not what he was running or was it not the D7OE at all?? curious as we have another year Ford head that we believe is also being run or has been with the -XX not matching but the XXXX- matches...

WRONG ! NHRA does NOT suck....Its the idiots running it today ! It was way less expensive 30 years ago. Everyone is NOT cheating.....Just the usual same clowns !
They have screwed up PRO STOCK. They should go back to 1320 ft for the fuel cars and change the engine allowed specs. to slow them down. Most spectators hate the 1000 ft. runs. Stock does NOT suck except its way more expensive today for the working class person.

You may be laughing but two are already out from what I’ve heard and the tech guys are doing a pretty good job getting involved with getting this deal straightened out going forward. It actually looks like the tech personnel care about the classes and I’m glad to see it.

Rumor alert from connected tech people: the 1.20 rule will be back in play next year. If you wanted to show off your stuff at Indy with no penalty, this might’ve been the final year for that.
