Not only am I one of the 122 votes (and I would vote the same now as I did 4yrs ago), but I also think the combo should go away, and all single class entrants should get Wally's for running .5 under the index, like they used to not so long ago. My .02

Not long before that all a single had to do was show up and make a pass to win class. If they didn't run the index they didn't make the ladder with a full field.

Whether they do it at Indy or one of the Sportsnationals events, there should be a race where class winners and quickest runners-up should make the field (regardless if they can run the index). There is no reason why every event has the same venue. Promote it well as the "Class Racers' Event" and you could build a following. Bogus HP factors kill the interest and incentive to be involved if performance against the index is the only measure. Quickest against the index is another erosion of performance based racing.

Also, we have enough "all run" national events that don't mean anything special. Indy did not get its allure by itself; racers talk it up as something special and racers can make that happen for another race, too.
