As i see it ...no one really knows how far apart different combos in the same class are these days..this system make everyone adapt to the triggers that currently are being used.. "the evolution" has nowhere to go..other than adding weight...and very few like to do that so they manipulate the system..Ofcourse "the evolution" could make slower cars dissapear if the index would be lowered...if you wanna keep all current cars and add even more you could just raise the index and trigger....but the spread between fast and slow cars would be even bigger because most are just happy to be in the race at the cheapest way possible..maybe thats how most like to have it!...but as i see it the trigger and index need more room between them than whats the case now. lower the index and keeping the trigger is one way..keeping the index and raising the trigger is another..but only 20 years ago only a veryfew went more than -.500..a real "exclusive club" at Nationals....just thinking it should be something really special to go -1.00 wich it could be if they lowered the indexes a couple of tenths..
p.s. at Boise where the only trigger is -1.40 under sealevel index one car was heads and shoulders above the rest in the class when probably all was trying for records..
