Default Heads up Index racing: who wants it? read this:

Copied from another forum about NE Dragway:

" In addition to the existing 8.50, 9.50, 10.50, and 11.50 indexes a 12.50 index will debut in 2013.

"The new index is aimed at the drag racing enthusiast who wants to get involved in the heads up racing scene for a minimal investment." "Many of the new vehicles coming off the showroom floor are capable of running this class."

I think E-town is missing out by not having ANY heads up Index racing on Saturdays when many cars can run these ET's, and the desire to run heads up is there...

Where is NE Dragway? Never heard of it.

The track is always welcome to hear new ideas. They may have thought of it, but hearing it from a racer could have more of impact.

I think all efforts should be made to keep this type of racing alive.

For the last two years, NHRA div 2 has had index racing as part of the Lucas Oil series.

10.00, 11.00, 12.00 indexes at all 6 events. Win a decent purse and a Wally.

Why not division 1?

I sent an email last year asking about it. No answer.
