thinking of joining an index class

Anyone else on here bracket race or run an index class? How much faster does my car need to be than the index to "safely" run in the class?

thinking about it for the 2007 season. For sponsorship or to join my pit crew let me know. Should be 6-10 races over the 2007 season.

Find out what the breakout is in the exact class your going to enter. Varies by track and whether IHRA or NHRA setup

Some can only be by a tenth or two.

Some it doesnt matter and it goes by who breaks out the least.

I would imagine your lloking for a few tenths under so you can hit your mark consistenly in all conditions weatherwise.

later
