The only thing lowering the indexes is going to do, is widen the gap between those with money, and those without. There are lots of cars, for example, those playing "the game" that, if the indexes were moved .3, can, for example, move their distributor, pull out some oil, un-pin the secondaries on their holley's, etc, and easily gain back .2 if not the full .3, and still be a 1.0 under player. Unfortunately, young racers like me, that can't afford to go to engine builder x,y or z and ask for a 1.2+ second under engine that somehow magically passes tech, would be forced to accept the fact that my .5-.6 under car, is now a .2-.3 under car, and if I somehow found those .3 back, I'm still only a .5 under car. But hey, at least the rich guys with the fast cars could then run their cars all out.

I agree with a lot of what you are saying. But, I feel that the argument that you have to be rich to go fast is weak.
