The classes should never be predicated on the elite of the class. That's why there is the class average.
If someone triggers the review they should be torn down and checked for legality same as the automatic 1.20 threshold. Not all of us are world beaters and still like running stock and super stock.

Really, Mike ?
Here's the final Q sheet from one of the slowest non-factored tracks in the country.

How many cars are less than .4 under? How many actually belong there? I see two.
How's that gonna kill anything?
NHRA needs to bring performance back into S/SS .You can't have their own announcers complaining about 1000" runs..or people sand bagging to lower their averages all the time. It will become totally unwatchable, like the throttle stop classes.
So you think .4 is too much? Or maybe you think they should raise them up some?
Then you'd have more guys really running down the averages, so the fast guys don't get hit, ever.
How's that going to help the current problem?
BTW, better get used some index hit, anyway..Maybe not .4, this time.
