Agreed....thats why I said make the trigger different than the amount of index change and not let the amount be known. Racers WILL manipulate the system one way or the other. Start by lowering the indexes by a min, of .5.....yes, one half of a second (.75 might be even better). With the way "stockers" are being built today (rules and "enhanced" induction parts,etc.) just about anyone can build one that would run around .75 under todays indexes unless the combo is off in left field with an over rated engine to begin with. Whats the point of running 1+ under if 98-99% of the field is doing the same thing. Just having a soft index is not going to bring in a lot of new blood these days until all of the old timers drop dead from old age and are no longer racing. The guys who have been racing stock all thier lives know all the "Tricks". I doubt stock (or whatever it will turn into) will be around by that time so thats a moot point. Just another 2 1/2 cents worth of BS from someone who used to care. Makes for good reading matter for arguments sake.......eh?
