Hi Lane,

I (thanks to a post about the IHRA), just realized another thing that would help me and many other racers with regards to the "Stock/Super Stock Slow Averages". I wish NHRA would revert back to the Stock/Super Stock altitude correction factors they used prior to the change they made several years ago. The harder factor they've used since the early part of this decade (plus dropping all Stock/Super Stock indexes .3sec), made (for example) the Bandimere Speedway index for DF/S drop from 17.14 to 16.59! I don't remember why this was done, and maybe Travis can shed some light on why those changes were made, but I hope those changes will be reversed given the added fwd stocker class(es) on the lower end will likely not happen....this probably won't either, but I hope there are many more racers besides me who struggle with the indexes at altitude tracks, that'll give NHRA just cause to reconsider their changes from either earlier this decade, or the previous one?
