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.
no not my ego, my ego is satisfied by my son's driving prowess and the fact that I built a 6.80 dragster. the indexes should be lower because IMO and others it's ridiculous that the NHRA is still indexing these classes as they did 30+ years ago when a mid 8 second dragster was fast! Today many of the cars competing in S/C can run flat out from 6.70s to 7.30s. That said lowering the indexes will not have 1 more person watching the .90 classes.
