Arnold I really like your idea!

Don't forget that I have said many times: "Lets run em' off the record". And let the chips fall where they may. I couldn't care less whether a sactioning body ever made a dollar or not. A HP figure at best is someones guess at a potential. I just think that the people who are setting these HP figures are not taking into consideration performance and potential performance. That only makes sense to introduce a level playing field. Apparantly a level playing field isn't wanted by the sanctioning bodies or some racers. I know that it is hard to please all the people all the time but if you are really trying you will please most of the people most of the time. If I were King we would all be class winners before we were advanced into the eliminator. Thats how I started and that is the way I would like it. That is good for me because I build my own stuff and have loads of data from many combinations.(self serving opinion) That would be terrible for someone without a big budget. Especially younger racers which this sport needs to survive. So I see no problem with an index system. I only question this 2 tenths announcement because I see no problem that it solves. I still see the need for HP adjustments on quite a few combos. If you are going to be a high qualifier you should at least be wide open and within 50lbs. of minimum weight. If you aren't you are BS'ing yourself and maybe some racers----- but not all racers.
