Are you saying you'd like to see it changed because your ego would rather see your car staged with 7.90 on the board rather than 8.90? Who is going to be impressed by that or really notice a difference while watching it?

It's an arbitrary number, really. Lowering the number would not make the run any more enjoyable; it would only drive out those on the slow end of the class.

It might make the fastest cars 'better' by not having to be on the stop so low/long, but if so that's their fault for making way more HP than is necessary.
