You would have a full 1.0 swing putting these back.
Lowering the indexes would only help the fast combos. A 1.3 under combo like the 255hp 350 would now be a 1.0 under combo, and other combos that are .9 under combos would be now .6 under.
An award for a fast combo to not have to trigger the afhs, but no way for a slower combo to ever have a chance.
It's a complicated process, and 1 solution doesn't fix it.

My point I?m eluding to is the AHFS works well and is a simple consistent protocol to help create parity. If all combos were reset to original they would all have a chance to be judged by a non biased consistent system. The current flaw is that the Combos overly corrected by the previous ways have no way of getting reduced. The simple fix would be to correct the bottom. I feel the best way to do this would be.
Reductions must be formally submitted.
To be considered, the following benchmarks must be met:
No more than 2 runs of -1.0 second under in a season.
Cannot have received HP additions in the last 3 years.
At least 20 runs per season for the last 2 seasons.
Total average of combination under -.65 for the season.
Reduction percentages:
Average of -.65 to -.55: 2% reduction.
Average of -.54 and under: 3% reduction.
It should not be easy to get HP off. But the separation in the top 2 cars of every combo in each class show you there is a massive discrepancy in ratings. It?s a performance class and we all want to race heads up. The simple fact is that the bottom 80% in each combination will not be competitive nor should they against the top.
I feel sticks and autos should be combined. Average the HP if there is a difference. Less classes and more heads up races with get the parity thing fixed real fast.
