    A vote count collected by NHRA in Vegas?

    From what I've been informed by a reliable source is that everyone will get a tenth back and there will be personal indexes. Perhaps someone can confirm this.

    rush hour? how not to increase car counts!

    Two hours is very generous. See, if we could run the whole damned race at that pace or faster, then you could do a national event in two days. Qualify on Saturday, and run eliminations on Sunday. In my opinion that would actually get more people to the track. Make a run and less than two...

    A vote count collected by NHRA in Vegas?

    From what I was informed by NHRA, final decisions will be made later this week in Pomona on what they plan to do to help current competitors and to get some others back racing. Whether an announcement will be made was never disclosed - just the fact that final decisions will be made.

    A vote count collected by NHRA in Vegas?

    A vote count collected by NHRA in Vegas?

    While I'm not going to agree or disagree with personal indexes, I will note that my thinking on the personal index deal is you not only give the driver a personal index for a class that he/she hits the index in, but also the chassis SFI serial number for the chassis that hit the index - can't...

    A vote count collected by NHRA in Vegas?

    From what I'm told, this past weekend at the Vegas nationals, NHRA - being interested in increasing Comp participation - collected votes regarding giving everyone index back at the end of the year. The vote was based on whether they should give back either a tenth or fifteen hundredths across...
