The past cpl years I've been hearing these nasty rumors about if a combination runs to far under the index in Stock Eliminator then you are going to get horsepower or if that combination with say 10 cars average I think .85 under then that combination is getting horsepower,,,for what??
Guys talk about running 5 quarts of oil adding at least 100 lbs and other things to slow their cars down. So if I want to go faster and buy a new engine say,,, $25,000 and redo my suspension,and God knows it needs it,and upgrade my transmission and converter,to go faster,unless I'm at Indy or a National Open,where you can run as fast as you want,then I would need to slow the car down after I just spent tens of thousands of dollars to go faster. I don't get but I do!! We bought the new Super C contemplating on doing just that,going fast so we could run at Indy but for what?? I can't cut a damn light,consistently to go rounds.

There needs to be a rule change on going fast for any combination.NHRA Let the guys go for it. If someone is to far under randomly tear them down.
