Default Re: Has anyone changed their mind about AA/SA index?

I beat this issue to death last year and got chastised for it by it from respected racers from Div 1 to Div 7 and several in between.

Leave it alone they said!

Even when I made this very same point about falling in line with the A index most of the hitters seemed to want an exhibition class- and said hey- if you can't qualify in AA then just run A. I then pointed out that some of these cars get very-very heavy in A as a result, etc, etc, but it didn't matter. The nay sayers all stuck to their guns and so here we are.

I have said it before, and I will say it again, these indexes are wrong for reasons described above, and for maximum spectator appeal there also needs to be a consolidation of sticks and autos in this class. If these changes were ever brought about AA/S would make a far more interesting class within Stock Eliminator. Not to mention it would be every bit as exciting to watch as any of the Factory Shootout Classes and wouldn't have the burden of attempting to make it fair between NA, Blower/SC, and V10 combos.

I'm not trying to antagonize or anger anyone who doesn't agree with me. I have a dog in both fights, am a huge fan of continued success within Stock Eliminator, and will continue to support it no matter which way this issue turns out. But yes, I think if changes were implemented this class could really help the older muscle cars within this eliminator really shine, and this is a great time to re-open this discussion.
