SS/AX through SS/CX are owned by V6 motors, no chance in the world that an inline motor is going to be competitive. Under the index maybe but not going to in any way competitive against a V6. These classes were orig intended for imports and small motors, NHRA allowed V6's later (probably petitioned by someone) and the party was over after that. If I recall, SS/CX had a 11.35 index just a couple of years ago and got creamed in one fell swoop by a V6 car. The logical thing would have been to put a big weight adjustment for the V6's but that's not how it worked out.
