G/SA Current Record

Evan, your solution favors the new cars too much; where FS is contested (with current indexes) guess who will lock up all the 'extra' points? And FS runs don't count against AFHS as currently ran so they run under whatever it takes while other cars risk HP to get qualified that high. Until such time as the newer car factors get a bit more 'leveled' via AFHS the upper class records will be dominated by them. With championships being decided by a single point they needed to be determined by the driver, not by how big a check they can write for a new car. Of course it's easy to get 100K+ tied up in a 'older' combination when you factor in R&D but what you've suggested gives too much advantage to the newer cars and the $$$ involved to invest in one of them plus updates along the way.
