They're the ones choosing to make it harder for people like me who only ran .2-.4 under the index to be competitive nowadays, and this move just went over the top!

Well, thanks to IHRA, at least I have options for a couple of former NHRA altitude tracks...Salt Lake City, and Tucson!!!

Gary,after the .30 reduction a year ago,which with the old altitude factor dropped the index at Bandimere .32. Now with the new altitude factor your index dropped another .23. Your new index up here went from a 17.14 to a 16.59 in just over a year. The lower the track,the less increase in index lowering.
