S/SS - Lower the index -0.50 & run Pro ladder

I don't want to lose the performance part of the stock racing, but we couldn't get the indexes lowered back to the old indexes of old. I doubt if such a radical change is on the horizon. It is difficult to do any of it by pounding on a keyboard with an alias also. Maybe a call to your Div rep could start the review process for change. One thing that could be done by had to be there is that she could sponsor and run a quick 32 type race that could be run heads up no breakout. that would be cool, but would take some action on her part.

If I could change the format, I would lower the indexes .2 and in Nat's that have less than a full field allowed, then only qualify 64. For example, if the quota is 80 then use a 64 car field. It would have to be known in advance so folks could plan. I think Indy worked out ok, but it would have been a better move to make the changes before anyone had entered. The timing of the change was not well planned or executed.

I am not sure about the proposed change process, but I would think that any propsal should go to the Div reps or directors to be reviewed for 2009. It seems as if the Div reps are merely the unpaid meat in the sandwich right now. If anyone knows who seems to be guiding the group of div reps that would be helpful too. Seems like there is no NHRA person responsible that is visable to the customers. (I mean racers)

My 2 cents. Maybe one cent.
