We had around 8 stockers, 6 modified stock, six stock option, and 9 hot stock until the hot stockers boycotted us. They boycotted us because they thouight the indexes were unfair. We had .03 between hotstock and stock option. If any car in any class hits there index in the lower classes, it affects all. Such as, a 10 lb. modified stock runs off a 7.40 , a 10 lb. stock option runs off a 7 flat, and a 10 lb hot stock runs off a 6.70. The closest any of these classes could get to was .2. So if a stock option car ran a 6.90, he hits all classes down a tenth, unless there was more then .2 between classes. It's not as complicated as I make it sound, and I was involved with cars in all 4 little classes to prove they could all run under these rules and be competitive. One night, between hot stock and stock, there were 9 cars within .07 of each other. In the upper classes, we had 4 dragsters, two 23 T's, one don ness camaro, a balkhalfed mustang, and falcon, three vegas, two wagons, a cobalt, 6 camaros, one being Ricky Ray's old car, a thunderbird from Bickel, an olds firenza, a 64 nova, and others that may come to mind. I've never seen a shootout decided by more then a .01.
