The breakout is necessary and without it the sport would be dead in 2 years.

I'm in SS/JA, several in Div 4, where there are several fast ones, so I do have heads-up races. Love them, which ever way it turns out. GT/AA is another very popular class, there are others.
Dropping the SS indexes (I don't mean stock, I don't have a dog in that fight.) won't do away with break outs. Might stop some stockers from coming over and running way under. That alone shows the indexes are too soft to be meaningful. Those guys might be the biggest objectors about lowering the SS indexes, not being competitive in another eliminator. If one could still run under the SS index with them dropped 1/2 second, more power to them. The only reason for an SS car not being able to run more than 1/2 under would be wrong car, sombody doesn't know enough, or ain't tryin hard enough. Probably the latter.
