Yes and No... Bracket race unless you are laddered up against another car in your class, then it's heads up.Normally the index is for qualifying, and isn't a problem except at INDY where 160 cars show up, and only 128 race. You can either qualify into the 128 car field, or you can win class and bump the low #128 car. Want a gaurenteed spot in the Eliminations? Build a car now one runs in, win class and you are in. Most AH cars do not care about anything other then the shootout.




You are correct on the AH cars but several years ago NHRA decided that class wins mean nothing but a Class Walley and some bragging rights. Winning class does not put you in the field . You have to be one of the fastest 128 to get in... Don't believe this is right but still the way it is.....
