Bryan,
LOL!
You have a PM
You are dead on and dead right about the aero difference in the Corvette Vs Truck and why one shouldn't suffer because of another. The problem is numbers or stats don't know the difference when everything with the same GT engine is considered equal. They aren't equal.
The other problem is the AHFS is set up with the assumption that anything that is fast is not factored correctly with HP or Index. It has no way of allowing someone that works hard is dedicated to performance to show his ability. It is designed to further mediocrity.
It just takes the performance factor out of a class that was developed on performance.
We are being handed a blow that bracket racers don't even have to deal with. They can go as fast as they want and dial what they want without being penalized.
How about Bracket 1 for SS and Bracket 2 for Stock and you can't dial or run more than 1 second under the index? I never thought I would live long enough to be able to see bracket racing become a performance based class. (at least in TD and TS going fast means you get to qualify) Sorry, I got mad and off the subject.
