I don't see how changing the indexes will accomplish, it anly addresses the manifestation of what is a horse power rating problem. No mater what the index is the same games will be played. We all agree the pesent system is being controlled by running just fast enough to win, but not faster than the 1.40, and making slow runs to keep the 1.15 review from working. Selecting the right make/model, year and engine combination coupled with money will always be fast. What is needed is a panel of "experts" that can realisticly adjust the low power to weigh ratios (also, mathematical simulation models can be developed).

If you want people to run it all out, then we need a incentive to do so.
