Shoe polish has no buisness being mentioned with Class Eliminations.
But, I do understand Scott's point. A few classes (SS/AH 9.30 and SS/AM 9.00 come to mind) have pretty stiff Indexes. Making it pretty dificult for cars in those cars to have much of a chance in a Class Combo. My suggestion would be to bring the tough indexes in-line with the others. Maybe, say, 9.50 for SS/AH and 9.25 for SS/AM.

On the contrary. The correct way to do that is to bring all the soft indexes and soft combinations in line with those that have been properly factored and indexed. We don't need to make it possible for everyone to run 1.5 or more under the index. Instead, we need to make it difficult for anyone to run 1.2 under their index.

Alan/Andrew, I'd think most of the Indexes currently are pretty fair. SS/Mod classes lose Index when the AHFS is flagged. SS/BM went from 9.65 to 9.50 from a hit at Indy a few years back (James Caro), then took the three tenths (that everybody received) hit, down to the current 9.20. Same with SS/AM. Scott Gove ran 7.99 at the Dutch in great air a few years ago, lowering the Index, via AHFS, from 9.45 to 9.30, then the .3 reduction down to 9.00. Same with SS/AH, a .15 hit via AHFS, then .3 down to the current 9.30. The quickest SS/AH at Indy last year was 8.42 by CW Jr, only -.87 and change. I think SS/AM was empty the last two years at Indy (except maybe John Clegg), for fear a racer in that class wouldn't qualify against a stiff Index.
Point being, Unless you get killer, mineshaft air, a current SS/AM, SS/BM, SS/AH, etc aren't going to run 1 second under, while many other combinations.classes can with ease. If only, say, 5-10 classes out of the near 140 within Stock and S/S are tough Indexes, it would reason to bring those 10 classes up, not bring the other 130 down.
