You could lower the indexes again and again and again, but there will always be somebody that could be -0.06 and not qualify at Indy and win the next eliminator. Follow me?

So what has changed then?

I follow you, Toby . I'm not sure you follow me though.

What has changed is the guys at the bottom will have to deal with a tougher performance standard, not some ridiculously soft index that has been raised up two tenths from 30 years ago.
