The 2015 didn’t, because some, including the fastest one, ran very conservatively!
I’ve read the post and all of the replies and here’s my take. If you run your car fast for no reason, you’re dumb! And by no reason i mean just to see a second under run or a high qualifying position to walk around with your chest out! Especially if you do it on a bye run or a red light during any eliminations run, including class. Now if you do it to qualify number one for a first round bye, or in some car counts, the semi finals bye also, be smart and dump on that bye run and any red lights during eliminations! Did anybody see Kyle Rizzoli’s interview with Fazio? Kyle gets it! Many of you out there get it! But there are still many of you that don’t! Save it for that heads up run in the eliminator! That’s where it really matters. |

I know I'll get whacked for stating this again but lower the Indexes and problem solved.

Frank that is easy for you to say or any body else unless your car runs 3 to 4 tenths under the index. In 2008 i started racing stock eliminator and my car ran 3 to 4 tenths under the index here in division 4. After about a year and half i upgraded the engine enough to make up for the 3 tenths adjustment to the index. That being said not all divisions have the same weather conditions. I could run about 7 tenths under in good conditions after up grading my car. I whish i had a need to slow my car down at that time.

Again I'll mention that not ALL of the combos in Stock have received the same "enhancements" nor can they benefit from the "liberalized" rules.

I still believe it is performance based, but most of the elimination races are bracket races. You just have to be smart when you use that performance you worked so hard to have! If you have a fast car you can use it to your advantage, but if you show it just to show it off it could cost you when you really need it.

Yes, dumb. That's the perfect word to describe it. |
