CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - I'd just lke to shout a big THANK YOU to the racer

I no longer race but did for a fairly long time and clearly remember what it was like before Indexes, AHFS and Rules Enhancements.
Today a racer can't run it out the back door with fear of the AHFS and worst of all the dreaded Averages.
There is no more Record Setting or REAL Teardowns.
As mentioned in another thread Class racing has become little more than Bracket Racing and that's a crying shame.
I have to wonder what is the motivation today to build a car that can run 1.2 under or beyond on a soft index?
Thank God for the U.S. Nationals.
