Remember… our indexes are 0.300 slower than NHRA

thanks josh, i thought they were the same. so marshall's -1.798 under for #1 Q, really reads like -1.498 with nhra indexes?
still factoring that, the top 3 cars laid down big numbers.

Yep. As I stand here right now the DA is -120. I doubt it got over 400 ft all day.

i don't understand where there is any advantage to having slower indexes than the nhra.
why not just leave the same? seems like an easy solution so everyone can run both series as easily as possible with matching numbers.
does ihra implement any sort of teardown beyond their tech procedure?
two cars ran darn near -1.50 under their nhra indexes.

I’m not sure why, but IHRA has always been .3 slower. It’s just a numbers thing, in the end.

This is considered mineshaft conditions, so even at NHRA AHFS would not be in effect. Mineshaft is determined when half plus one of the field is .80 (NHRA) under or more. In our case, 1.10 under. 21 of 35 stockers went more than 1.10 under, and 18 of 34 Super Stock.

thanks for the explanation josh. those really were some numbers put up today.
great veteran talent on the mic today as well. ME and AR doing what they do best. thanks guys.

Alcohol cars up now.

Yikes, where are the fans? I think there's more people standing on the starting line than what is in the stands. On a side note, they just said that Jasmine is sick and won't be driving. I think they said Jon Capps is driving.

Pretty cool! Just saw that Jon Capps is driving Bob Gilbertson's F/C and Jasmine Salinas' T/F dragster because she is sick. IHRA allowed it.

You pressed post before me!! ^^^^
