Tony, I thought it was very clear....the indexes are 30 years old, it is time to get real and put racing back into Stock/SS. If you can't run at least .20 to .30 under, you need to either re-think about changing your sport or get to work. No one is forced to run any combo that could never run .20 to .30 under....and no one said that drag racing was a cheap sport to get into.....so, if class racing is a bit hard or expensive, start with bracket racing at the local track and decide where, how, and why....many class racers started that way. Class racing (Stock/SS) was always performance rewarded and it needs to return to exactly that.

Very well put, I bracket raced at my local track for 12 years before building a stocker. Definitely big $$$ and work to get started and to be fast but thats just what it takes. Later
