I personally could care less about what NHRA does in this situation because I'll probably never attend Indy,but I think class winners shold get first preference.


Ed F,
Possibly 1.00 under in good weather
with a 30 mph tail wind.

No Ed, actually the point I was making was there are very slow cars that are almost able to run 0.5 under the index as you buy them off the used car lot for $3500, and people buy them because they can race them and NEVER have to face a heads up race.
