We need a new "instant" trigger!

Maybe if the instant trigger (after tear down) was 1.00 under the index with a 10% increase (hammer them)instead of the current percentage that takes 10 years to put the combo where it belongs most of the under rated and "TRICK" (bogus and expensive) engines would go away or move into S/S where they belong. .Not to worry.....it will never happen with NHRA.
P.S. After thinking about this for a little while maybe the trigger figure should be lowered to about .75 or .80 under the index as long as they stay at thier current level. If they are lowered then reduce the amount under as a trigger. Whats the point in having the entire field of some races being over one under and the bump spot someplace around .98 under. Thats just nuts. If the AA or A combos get factored out of Stock where they carry enough legal weight then they belong in S/S anyway. The cost of thes "GO FAST" engines is to the point of insanity. And when I say after a "tear down" I mean a very intense inspection. Crank, piston & rod weights, HEADS (NO hidden port work), all of it with NO interfearence from the ivory tower when some of the very good tech people find a problem. Do this at ALL of the races. National events, points races, Opens, and NO seperate adjustment for altitude tracks. My 2 cents but NHRA wont do it anyway.
