GT/HA rules have not been changed for 2106. Rules are being fabricated arbitrarily.

I understand your argument, but based on performance of your combo in SS and or SS/GT, not surprised at all.

Would you like to explain why a DragPak Challenger body powered by a 318 running in FGT/J running 10.60's has to have a full roll cage, -5 suit, Competition License, etc?

And, lets be honest, the old indexes that these new factory combos fell under were kinda soft.

Absolutely. Well, really the problem isn't with indexes so much as the artificially soft HP factors. That is irrelevant to any issue I have brought up, which centers on equal application of the rules.
Helmet rules are based on ET. 10.00 & slower: open faced, 9.99 & quicker: full face. There is zero logical reason why all safety rules are not predicated on ET, MPH, and chassis construction.
Class designation decals do not provide any level of protection. It does not matter if the same car, with the same chassis, running the same ET & MPH, is bracket racing, running GT/HA, or running FGT/H, the car is either safe under certain safety specs, or it is not.
If nothing else, you would think that the insurance liability loophole created by arbitrary, inconsistent rules would concern them.
