Gee, where have I seen this scenario play out while growing up?
It would be interesting to know:
* How long it took the "fast" racers to be able to qualify consistently in the top 1/2 of the fields. (Hard to establish a number because of the varying indexes & records throughout history.)
* How many haven't been able to maintain it over the years.
* How many tried, both with and without the resources, but couldn't make it and quit.
* How many quit after the last .3 hit?
This will go on forever, but the final say will be from NHRA.

Myron I don't know of anyone that is an active racer that is in favor of lowering the index's. I'd just like to see the AHFS catch up to the ET improvements that Stock and Super Stock have gained in the last 15 years since the system was implemented. No James putting Indy in the 120 under mix again would be just another race that the AHFS game would be played. BP
