I don't see this as a bad thing. I think for the most part we all can still agree that Stock and S/S are performance oreinted classes right? Yes there are some racers who are directly affected by this if they could run at the .3 under. I know that trying to find ET is both costly and time consuming, however how many racers started running Stock or S/S were unaware of this? As with all sports of any type those with the most money can almost always stay ahead, I think that cannot be denied. There seems to be quite a few racers out there with the resources and the willingness to spend it. Does that hurt the sport? It's hard to say for sure but my initial thoughts are yes, If and when this "class" of racer tires of the financial outlay involved verses the return where does that leave the rest of the racers?I've read all of the posts on this and find it hard to really argue with what most have had to say,however as you would expect how the particular racer is affected by this change seems to dictate their response. I've read alot of racers posts of soft indexes, under rated combos ect. which may all be true, but can you imagine the uproar if just a few combos or indexes were hit?All in all basically to me they,ve done nothing more than change the amount under of the qualifying sheet.Joe
