Indy is usually pretty slow but what if its not this year? What if the bump is .90-under or better? It may take triggering a combination to get in the show. What do we think?

I believe this is very possible...

I think that the reason the shootout cars are excluded from AHFS is because the class as a whole is not factored on HP, its a combo with a minumum weight for that combo, doesn't matter what brand car it is. The AHFS is all about specific engine combo's and their HP ratings to a specific class with minumum and maximum weights for that class.

Adjustments if necessary will be by the rules of the AHFS.

The SS/AH cars have a separate race and yet their runs all count for AHFS.

That way all factory showdown can have fun at their race, and feel a little sting if they run the eliminator just like the rest of us mere mortals!

INDY should be AHFS free for all Stk and SS

Of course, the new cars will kill us in class and heads-ups.

James tell the guy on the other thread about winning class with a slower car, pulling a piston, getting the trophy, class winner picture, AND racing for the big win at INDY!

I had the best seat in the house to see how happy the E/SA class winner was.

James Perrone · 08-14-2014, 08:29 PM

Larry you are the best!!. I did feel bad ...for you .But got over it real fast.!.
Ya I got the full Indy examination..what about my Best Bro Joe Lisa .It was his brand new motor we had to pull apart..I believe that was the last year for class winners getting in..Hope to see you at THE SHOW...Hope to GET LUCKY AGAIN

I would love to see all our S/SS reps contact NHRA about letting Indy be a AHFS free race for everyone. It would be the best Indy ever!!! Lets face it no AHFS will not change qualifying. The fast cars are going to get in no matter what. James are you going to push down on the gas peddle at Indy. I would like to see how fast that thing can go. Barry
