You would have to get every racer running that same combo to dump, not just one car. If it is an oddball combo that no one else runs,then it probably isn't that good to begin with and needs a lower factor anyway. Trying to get racers to stick together is like getting Congress to agree, so the chances of getting the same racers to dump the same amount is slim.

I don't think you have been at the same races I've been at. Most of the faster (under index) cars are dumping early. Some even opt to "lose" class to protect their combo.
And as far as the "oddball combos" go I like your idea. I run an oddball combo. I'm sure most of the racers agree that my index needs to be softened. LOL
