Dave, I'd be there in a minuit if they made S/G a 8.90 door car class.....Most .90 racers will tell you that the cars are much more consistiant when they are'nt on the timer for 3 seconds or more. ..... The current class ET brakes made sense 20 years ago when HP cost big bucks,and most guys were slowing their cars a couple of tenths. .... Now that you can have a 632" motor for only a couple of bucks more than a 427, lowering the index would make sense. ......My new car will probably be able to go 2 seconds under the 9.90 index, but I like running against other door cars, so I'll stay in SG. The idea of S/ST being an entry class is obsolete, nearly everyone in that class can run -1.0 sec under. .......Let them go to 9.90 on a .5 tree and create a 7.90 class for the faster cars. .... I'm sure some wont agree, but the lack of change in the index's is partially responsible for the proliferation of the TOP classes .....Tom
