Everyone always says, " Stock is a Performance Based Class" but it does not seem that way by these changes to AHFS.
If the recent changes were driven by competitors who compete in Stock Eliminator, one can only assume their combo will not run the numbers to compete heads up in their division.
Everyone understands, Stock Eliminator needs all the racers, fast and not as fast to compete,
This "Lastest" change to AHFS hurts the fast guys, will cause more lifting at 1,000 ft , (or braking) to protect their current HP rating. It's less costly than spending $$ to go as fast as you did before you had to add that 80.lbs
Maybe it's time to have a personal index in Stock. Let the really fast guys go heads up against each other, no HP hits. The others, estblish a 1-3 tenths personal index on Heads up runs at Divisonal events only.

Just an Idea to consider.

No to personal Index, that's a trainwreck, stock is complicated enough as it is, I've been away from S and SS for years and my kids are going to be running 2 cars this year and just the approved parts list is like doing algebra. Most don't build their own engines or cars, but as complicated as it is we don't need to make it any more complicated. Everyone loves to say Stock is a performance based class then bitch when their performance gets them HP.
