index lowering

The AHFS would work better if NHRA would follow its own rules on Horsepower reduction. When a combination qualifies for a horsepower reduction it is based on a years worth of performance. All of the T's have been crossed and the I's have been dotted and it 100% satisfies all of the requirements for HP reduction and then This happens:

The decision to adjust horsepower or to increase the index will be at the discretion of the AHFS Committee.

A years worth of effort and playing by the rules goes down the drain. From my experience it will help make a ''Dog'' a little more competitive. The car won't be able to win a heads up run with the fast car but they can?t be real late.

After you move up on the qualifying sheet and start feeling better about your combination it starts: I wonder if I changed this how much would it help?

So what is the best combination for most of us? A fast car with an average driver or great driver in an average car?
