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.

I agree, adding 300 lbs will slow the AA 8.90 cars to 9.20 to 9.30. After that check your math; 9.20 to 9.30 under the 9.90 index is 6 to 7 tenths under. Last year, with about 140 cars in attendance, it took .617 under to qualify in Stock.
