Not trying to be a smart *** but since you are a SRAC member, how long do you think the index should stay at 8.90 ? Forever ?

In 1985 when I started, a dragster that went 8.60-8.70 was a pretty quick car. At any bracket race you were either the fastest or close to it. Today an 8.70 dragster at a bracket race is not only the slowest dragster there it is also slower than 1/2 the door cars.

I agree that you will not get spectators even at a 6.90 index (now we're talking). But how do you explain to a newbie you bring along to the races why that Mustang AAA/S stocker and many SS cars just went quicker than your dragster goes ?

A new 7.90 class will NEVER happen as the track operators want less payout not more. It would just be less S/C cars.

The result of the vote taken was that the majority of the S/C racers wanted the index lowered. They just did not agree on what to lower it to. The way that vote was presented, the outcome was determined before the vote was taken with 3 options.

So how long do we keep 8.90 ???
