The year the indexes changed was 1993 I believe. I remember my first time out w/ my original car running GT/DA in '92 on a 10.60 index and literally doing cartwheels the first time I ran under it (a 10.57 if I remember correctly). I got my rear end kicked in class for a year or so before I figured out how to go fast and run with the guys who had been doing it a while. The next year, in 93 all the indexes were raised two tenths. That helped cars that could barely run the index then.... before that if the air got worse during the race they would have to dial the index and were "dead ducks" if they couldn't run the index.
