I know the South is mostly IHRA but they have a lot of index racing down here. But they can't seem to get it the same at any 2 tracks. Each is different.

The alky switch has me thinking. The next motor I build will be an alcoholic for sure.

Hmmm, switch Frankenstein to Alky. That would be interesting. The price of race fuel is currently at $9.60 to $9.70 depending on where i would go.

Well, after the soap opera on the other thread im going to hijack my own. It looks like Maple Grove is going to try the index racing that has been going on at Atco and Cecil County for years. The rules seem to be the same between the three tracks. This will bring out the test and tuners who will never bracket race. I imagine if this takes off there will be more classes and dates added in the future.

Here is a great article about the e-town index racing. It covers the 8.50 class that Maple Grove will be running.
