Steve Stickel · 11-09-2017, 06:05 PM

we already have the option of personal indexes in Stock and SuperStock

NO. (...and the "S" does NOT stand for snowflake.)

So your car would have a personal index like a bowling handicap? Then why ever work on your car? Sounds like socialism to me.It may help the low budget team, but its also a slap in the face for those who work hard and spend money they sometimes don't have to be competetive.

Uh, no...

This coming from someone who is .40+ behind the fast guys... I'd rather keep picking at it and driving my a** off when I have to.

Oh by the way what happens when I sell my .8 under car and the buyer can only go .5? Does he get to adjust his index back to a lower number? NHRA can't keep up now, can't imagine them doing anything like this.

Guys you DO not want this in S/SS. The rich get richer in this format. They get to qualify off the original index even if they havelost 15 hun.. So they still qualify off the original it allows them to qualify on a 15 hun slower index and you know that is a 75+ under car. In comp it skews the qualifying order which changes the run sheet. If you want to fix S/SS and comp take index awy where the fast guys will have to run their stuff out then you will have a better system. Who cares if everyone can run 1.5 seconds under. The fast cars turn it up when they need to..

You know I'm still new to class racing. And my car is slow. And this would probably benifit me. Im still against it. I like everybody else. Knew what I was getting into. Will I be fast one day. Only time will tell. But taking something away from the other guys to make it easier for me to be competitive. Will never be the way I will want to do it. I'd rather keep chipping away at it little by little. So IF or when I do get there I will know I earned it. And it wasn't just given to me to help car counts.
