..who would go to races whitout a chance of winning or even winning a round?Bob Shaw or someone like him would win alot before his current combo would be in line with others then he would just show up with a new one,it would sure change the type of cars running in stock,and without any real tech how would you actually do it,and how many would actually stay in the class if your Camaro was dead meat and you had to get a "fast" car,not a good looking one? In SS there would probably only be modified cars left since there are constantly improved parts to get in that area compared to regular classes.

What is stopping us from arrange classracing during the regular timetrials ourselves at races that dont have it?sure no extra money(if not the racers decide to put it up themselves) but fun racing and the bragging rights are still there..some Nationals will be hard ofcourse with only 2 hits...well ofcourse with AHFS as today no one would hang it out anyway but there is factored tracks and tracks with bad air where it could be done !

I am for lowering the indexes (and keeping the trigger or a wider spread than today) because i think its needed to see were all combos actually are flat out right now,to much storys about "a couple of hundred pounds in the trunk" and so on for the current "not so good" factoringsystem to wok!i If it would show that some are way ahead some "human power" would need to take care of that.

Qualifying from the indexes could be a good thing(exept for safteyreasons maybe)...why not try it?

Pro Ladder..not flipping coins...not for me...it's called sportsman racing..NOT Professional..i afraid changing the format would hurt these classes,,since it's still this popular it has to be somewhat right as it is!
