The thing is that if we want the classes to continue to grow, we need to have it so that people can do just that thing If they don't have a big budget; be able to build their own car, on a budget, in their garage, that can run, say .5 under. Then they are in, and from there they can build on what they have and go faster, and participate in a different way; ie: going faster.
Why would it be bad to have to work a little harder to run the index(or under)than it is now? nothing is keeping them from coming to a race and learn if they have trouble run the indexes...most of us has come from not running the index and worked our way up...kinda what makes it fun...to easy to be in the "bracket race" on sunday and have a chance....I just think it looks stupid to run 1.3 sec or more under the index..but thats just me.
