This is nothing new and yes has gotten much worse. I have won rounds by .001 and lost by the same amount or less.....going back over 10 years. Lost in rd 1 at a Lucas race by .0006 and had a ..010 RT and ran a 8.903....2004 That one hurt but the opponent was one of the best drivers there is....

The only advantage is MPH and everyone knows it and most have moved up but as everyone moved up nothing changed....except we are going faster and using the brakes can get you in trouble a lot easier...

I am also one who thinks the indexes should have been sped up and now 7.90 is not too fast for S/C. It won't change the tight racing but at least it wouldn't look as bad with less stop time....

If you win today it is as much luck as skill to me.....

The latest-greatest devices sure seem to be making it even tighter...

At a recent MASCA race in June....I think about 7 cars cars went 8.90x during time runs for qualifying......there was maybe 32-34 cars
