As I remember about a year ago they polled the racers and it was overwhelming voted to keep the indexes the same and make the corrections with the AHFS. Lowering the index does nothing to improve parity in the classes. Only hurts the guys at the bottom of the sheet. Car counts are not what they used to be. Lowering the indexes will not bring more cars to the track. Fast guys have the choice to run all out or hold back. If you are racing a combo that can run way under including under the trigger then you could get a hit at any time. Realistically there was very few HP hits at the end of the season last year.
