Every car? Seriously? You REALLY want to try to tell us that EVERY car out there started out 5% to 20% or more soft?
And you really want to tell us no one ever builds anything that doesn't start off truly soft when they build it? No one would ever consider racing Stock or Super Stock if they couldn't start off with a soft easy combination?
Does anyone really seriously think that class racing has reached that point? Is it entirely over run with people who feel entitled and need a complete gift from the rule book in order to come race?
Look, I don't give a rat's back side about the hood on your car. And I like the new cars. But I don't think they need a massive gift in order to get them to the track.
Now that the thread has been completely derailed, how about we get back on the subject? A perfect example was this weekend. Where would McClanahan have qualified had he been running on a 10.80 index, as opposed to the current 10.60 index? He'd have been .979 under, as opposed to .779 under. Is .979 really outside the norm for a fast car?
