It sometimes can kill the class to make it very hard to be competitive. That is why you see racers changing classes between races or in the case of todays results it looks like David Rampy might have slowed to save his index and the A/EA class.

Al Ackerman and Scotty Richardson are good racers but having to go that fast to win will cost them next round.
Thanks. I understand the difference between breakout and CIC now.
