Ok, I'm still lost, because I fail to see how it affects the outcome of the race. If all of the FSS cars are not affected, and the older cars are not having to run heads up against them, what difference does it make?
In other words, the way I understand it, is the FSS cars can run all out, without penalty against each other. But when they move into regular. eliminations, doesn't it once again, just become a bracket race? At that point I don't see any disadvantage for the older cars.
Again, I really don't understand what the issue is, unless it was a heads up race with no break out in affect. Otherwise, why does it matter?
I actually see it as an advantage for the older cars, because the new combos will be forced to show their hand much sooner and run all out, instead of hiding behind a soft index.
