It does seem difficult to get HP reductions for the older combos. In my particular case my car is a 327 rated at 295 hp. in SS. Some of the other cars in the class are fuel injected 350 cars that are less HP than my old car. Granted I don't have a good enough car to be a real threat to win class or qualify at Indy but it would be nice if the playing field was a bit more even. Then some good driving and a bit of luck lightning can strike. I really have no complaints.
I actually think lowering the trigger for automatic HP might work better but I doubt we will see anything like that happening any time soon.
