2. Eliminations based on index. No dials.
3. Weight break for automatics.
4. Weight break for pre-80's cars.
5. Weight break for non-FWD conversions.
6. Adjust HP up and down until parity established, including FSS.

For those who say that It'll push people away, my answer would be why bother competing in a performance based class if you want to bracket race?

My car's about 0.7 under in good air. I drive a Ford. With a 20-year old engine. In Modified.

I'm working on my combination one part at a time. I have no intention of running out and buying $12K cylinder heads when I haven't even figured out what my existing combination wants. I would gladly take the losses in the proposal above until I can compete with cars at the top of the class.
That would pretty much kill the class. The HP adjustments would come way too slow and would never keep up. The faster and under factored combos would rule. I cant imagine you would keep going to races if you have absolutely no chance to win. Not everyone in Stock and Super Stock is a millionaire and can spend big bucks to race.
Participation is still good right now despite the high fuel cost. Look at St Louis last weekend. big car count. Most nationals reach their quotas very quickly and there is always racers on here begging to get an entry to nationals. Most divisionals are pretty well attended if scheduled properly. I am not seeing much wrong with our classes right now. Hurting the guys at the bottom half of the Q sheet is not the way to grow the classes.

Personally I think the modified cars should be running in comp but I would never push for that change.
