Drag classes for the cars?

Run 3 "trial" passes to figure out your index. Write index on window and off you go, don't run faster than the index or you are out. First person to the end of the track w/out going faster than their index is the winner. Repeat until there is only one left per index class.that seems like fun competition
so completely heads up in your index..... just don't break out of your index???

Hell...do it GSR's way then have the class winners bracket race (single elim) at end of day to see who is the most consistent....let the bikes run with them too.

After 3 time trials and choosing your index if you run faster than the base index time you lose.

I would leave the bikes out of it since they've already got their own thing going.

So if your run 11.1 for your index. then get a 10.9 you lose?
why cant you just bump them up a class?

Because that's not how the index works. You don't move up a class during competition. You choose your index and run within that index trying to go rounds to win that index for the day. If you're running close to the low end of the index all day and you're on a fast pass and break out, you didn't play the index right and should have moved up a class before you started eliminations.

Add some spice to the drag days that everyone can participate in!

In ireland, they do there classes as like:
1.4L or less F/I and 1.8L N/A or less and 15's or slower
1.8l or less F/I and 2.2L N/A or less and 14's and slower
etc....so if you are faster, you get bumped up to the next class with the bigger cars, so it is kind of based on engine size, whether it is F/I or N/A, and the times. I can get you there exact brackets if you would like, but it seems to work. Obviously it would have to be modified for US engine sizes, but a good idea to start at maybe... -
The index thing would be fun, but what determines who wins in the 15 and slower category, just for example. Some people will be able to hit the 15.00 and some won't. Or did I miss something and you dial in like say 15.5 and try to hit that consistently like bracket racing.

This is the same for all of the index classes.

So if your car cant get run a 15.00 you are at a severe disadvantage to a car that can.
