Bruce, You state lowering the index .3 is the "solution". What is the problem? If it the fear of being factored then yes. If it is to make the Bogus Hp combinations better controlled, NO no effect. Moving the trigger will not effect it either...
The current "problem" appears to be that it does not sort out Fast cars from hard work by extensive numbers of cars and hard working numbers of racers from one off Bogus cars discovered by Book work. Yes theses cars have work too but they start out soft for multiple reasons mainly being just allowed as they are in the book.This needs to be addressed by the Committee.
Require a person to file a letter of intent to run a combo before they dig out the 50 year old 2 x4 manifolds and make a mockery of the factoring system. Common sense initial factoring should be required. The same holds for new stuff with exotic technology allowed as a way to get new cars into the eliminator by unreasonable low expectations on numbers for HP.
