I feel that you could STOP 1000 ft. heads up racing in one of two ways. (A) raise the 1.15 and 1.40 triggers to a point where we could see how fast these cars really are. It's not fair to penalize a racer who is doing it the american way (dedication, perseverance, never quit, do it better than the next guy, and sacrifice). If you are the best at anything in this world, you are or will sacrifice something in life! I never saw a football team get penalized for putting 40 or 50 points up on the board. I cant imagine a quarterback having a man deep and wide open, thinking I can't throw it that far or I'm going to get my program hit (strap 10 pounds on my reciever next game). That sounds kinda stupid don't it! I don't think people would watch it! (B...not my pick but would work) They could implement a program that would trigger at each segment of the track, and not just the finish line. I don't see a driver lifting at 60 or 330.
The problem with lowering the index is, that it hurts the little guy...and we need the little guy. We need to grow the sport, not run them off. Slower cars need room to dial under as well the fast guys! I love the sport and am preparing a SS/LA entry for myself. I can say that it will be my privilege to meet and compete with all of you drivers! Thank you, Wade P.S. WON'T BE AFFRAID TO THROW THE LONG BALL! Won't be fast enough to worry about it anyway
