Guys, Let me apologize , right up front here. I have seen the error of my ways.
I've learned a lot from this thread.
Majority seems to want heads up runs, everywhere. Nat's, Div's and local series races.
Again, the majority seems to want the indexes to never be lowered. It brings in lots of new blood to the "sport".
So, hear me out.
If some is good, more is better, right? More's Law.
I think we should ADD five tenths to all indexes.. so then, instant hp would be 1.70 under . Of course the AFX cars need some room at the top, plus too many 1.20 teardowns lately, so let's move the trigger up 2 /10's . That would then make 1.89 seconds difference, between what NHRA says a legal car should run, and what they really run. Sounds reasonable to me.
But think about it the advantages here. A young guy with a family could now afford to build a Stocker that would pass tech. He could now afford the $900 converters, $3800+ transmissions, $1200 pistons, $12 gas, $360 entries, and so on ..
Plus there would be more guys out there to beat up on in heads up runs or class.
Also , more guys to run the class averages down.
As another bonus, there would be more room to work the ladders however you'd like.
So , what do you think?

Sorry I didn't see the light earlier.

Happy Turkey Day
