Nothing about this whole format makes sense. I'll use as an example, Mustang running in AA. AA index is 10.00, so now in order for him to race in this shootout, he looses a tenth of index as well as needing to add about 300 lbs. In a perfect world, thats 4 tenths in performance by those changes alone. The cars that were running 8.90's early in the year are now in the 9.20 to 9.30 range. Add 300 lbs and take away that tenth and guess what, now they are only 3 to 4 tenths under the index. That would be a hell of a note to race in the showdown and not even be able th qualify for the field.
