Index Change Rumor

M Brand 505B · 11-22-2019, 10:59 AM

I heard a rumor that indexes will be lowered by .20 next year for stock and superstock along with a few other things. Can anyone more connected confirm?

Probably only preseason pot stirring but only time will tell.

If true so be it. It's all a matter of perception. So the new fast will be -.80 instead a second under or more. Can't control it so why worry about it is my attitude.

Hopefully this rumor can turn into reality. Then leave the triggers of 1.00 and 1.20 where they are.

It’s not a rumor .......

Cant see how that would help our classes. I know some that quit when the indexes were lowered last time. Probably raising the trigger would be a better idea. Not everyone in our class is a millionaire and it should not be a millionaire club.

Nor should it become so easy, it becomes like spec bracket racing...

Exactly what they want Mike. Then they will turn around and say there aren't enough racers to support Stock and Super Stock and drop them. Stop me if you have raced IHRA and have heard this story before. JIm
