I calculated the cost ( including the cost of the car itself) to get my newer model Mustang to run 2 tenths under the K/SA index. Then I added up all the "good stuff" needed to run 9 tenths under and it doubled the price. 7 tenths doubled the cost

Re: How far under index?
Forget the drama and heartbreak of qualifying. Go out and get a 302 FFFord, put a stick in it and you will qualify very well.
If that is not your choice, then just bust your butt with what you have and listen to people who say work on your stuff. Or, do what you want and have fun. Ron Ortiz U/SA did I say have fun

Re: How far under index?
Fatherly advice from someone with not enough sense to quit. Run your car, lots of little things you can do without major expense. Get a golf cart. Bring beer ( or your choice). Race, have fun, take the cart, ride around , lie about how much hp you got and how your opponent is cheating, drink beer. Sleep well. Repeat as necessary.

Re: How far under index?
Thank You everyone for the advice and all. The key to this build is and will remain to have fun.
I have been away from class racing for some time, can anyone tell me how class eliminations work now? What is with the Combo?

Re: How far under index?
When there isn't another car in your class you get put in with other cars that also don't have another car in their class. You are both dialed by your indexes. Whomever crosses finish line first wins (providing no red light).
