AND THEN, TS and TD spiraled out of control in the money area, which made them unattainable for many who really wanted to go fast.. SOOOOOOO, back to bracket racing for many..

I see no problem with dropping the indexes by a second in each class, and run off the same .370 tree in all classes.. all rules remain the same, except maybe the minimum weight for S/ST.. we may find that some SG guys, who run just enough power to run 9.90, will change to S/ST, and not have to spend money on a new combination.. and we already know that many S/ST folks can already run 9.90, especially if they can lose some weight..

Not a bad idea from where I'm sittin'.. I can't see where anyone gets hurt..

Nobody gets hurt from the perspective of a slow SG car, because under your proposal SST magically becomes the same class that SG was previously. Slow SC cars and slow SST cars get the shaft as they don't have a slower option.

Do you envision the lower indexes drawing enough new fast cars to offset those losses? My personal opinion is that anyone who wants to throttle stop race is already doing it as long as they have the power to run the current indexes.
