2025 Year-End Competition Eliminator Index Adjustments Announced
The following Competition Eliminator index adjustments were produced by the Competition Eliminator Index Control System (CIC). This is the scheduled index adjustment for this year. All changes are effective January 22, 2026. It should be noted that these adjustments include only results produced by the year-end index review. The CIC is a program based on actual run data compiled from all available runs at NHRA national and divisional events. Runs at altitude factored tracks, National Opens and events that were considered "mine-shaft" are not considered. Runs during the Jegs All Star event will be considered. The data-based format provides the ability to calculate average performances for any class in Competition Eliminator.
