Point well made Jack, however if you're running that close to the index, and all of the sudden eliminations come with a (lets say) 10mph headwind, along with crappy air, suddenly you're either at or slower than your index, and thus your meager cushion of competitiveness is gone...advantage to all cars better than .4 under their indexes.
