But, I do understand Scott's point. A few classes (SS/AH 9.30 and SS/AM 9.00 come to mind) have pretty stiff Indexes. Making it pretty dificult for cars in those cars to have much of a chance in a Class Combo.

My suggestion would be to bring the tough indexes in-line with the others. Maybe, say, 9.50 for SS/AH and 9.25 for SS/AM.
Hemi cars have been 8 teens, which would be 1.30+ under that index, and there are a lot of A/SM(A) cars that are legal for SS/AM that have run well into the 7's. I know of one A/SM that has run 7.60s. The indexes that need changing are some of the modified classes, more specifically some of the non V8 ones, that are really soft.
