Marty,
Thank you for your great work. If I missed it, will Indy 2023 be AHFS free and unaccountable?

Thank you Frank,
At this time, Indy will be included in the HP review data for STK/SS.

What is everyone’s opinion on this subject?
AHFS at Indy or No?

Where I believe this is heading is towards a true performance based heads up system after this is "sorted out" in a year or two. So instead of class only heads up runs, ALL of eliminations can be heads up runs. Isn't this the way it should be anyway? Bobby F, Your thoughts? You should be rewarded for choosing the best car for the best class and doing the best you can at building it.

They need to eliminate the AHFS for all class run offs. It has nothing to do with points. It’s what heads up class racing is about. Who has the fastest. Not who can figure out the best way to slow their car down. Put the fun in class run offs. I know racers that have the best parts, spent tons of cash to have a fast car and will still not run fast in class eliminations due to the present rules. And I don’t blame them. Just my opinion.

Maybe a way to speed up the AHFS is to eliminate dial under ( It’s not bracket racing) run off the index which will be like heads up and cause the AHFS to adjust the combo’s much quicker. If the thought is only the big money fast cars will win it should only be short lived as the hp adjustments should bring them back to the field.

They do tear downs at D1 opens every time a record is set in Canada.Seen it done many times.
