How about severely limiting "Super" class entries?

I believe the classes should be 7.90 -8.90 -9.90 . or maybe even .60's !

What would be accomplished by doing that, Tom? Just making the club more exclusive?

The people who can afford to would just buy bigger stuff, although they probably have enough horsepower already.

At least with Stock/Super Stock, the rules force a little more innovation and smarts to run the index. Can't just throw in a bigger bullet.

For me, there is no difference in the amount of fun between a wide open pass and a throttle stop pass. Sure, the number on the slip isn't impressive but it's just a target. I don't see why we'd want to lower the index just to push people out.
