I agree. If I could not run .8 under, I wouldn't feel like I was fast enough to run a national event. "Back in the day" we ran off national records. Didn't see slower cars at national events. Most went bracket racing when that stuff came along. Now they have us all bracket racing off these ridiculous soft indexes. We ran off the records, no dialing. We could run one tenth under, eleven under you break out. Around here, there was almost zero break outs. Only if we traveled to one coast or the other. Being fast meant something then. The Good Old Days. :-)
I like Sean's idea.
