Lowering the indexes will only rid the ranks of new people wanting to go class racing. If they can't compete after a short period they will leave never to return. Not exactly what class racing needs, less competition.
In my case just because NHRA will allow me to run a 4-speed as of 1/1/9 does not mean I should have to just to keep up. 567 passenger chevys never came with them & in my opinion should not be allowed to use them. Plus I will be darned if I am going to cut my original seat or put buckets in just to get a 4 gear in.
Two changes I would recommend;

1) lower the trigger a bunch,so the fast guys can run flat out without being penalized.
2) Establish not just a minimum but a maximum weight that a car can run in a class.
