Why did 3 tenths come off the index

The tree tenths were removed to accommodate the new cars. The SRAC has very little power to influence any decisions made by nhra. Just window dressing to make it look like nhra gives a hoot. Bruce and the SRAC guys mean well but in the end corporate rules.

Tom Compton stood up at a meeting at Indy in 2011 and said he knew that nhra had not been treating the Sportsman racers very well - but that was all going to change. Apparently for the worse as nhra continues to play with the indexes and qualifying for the new cars; to the detriment of the older cars. Also, I have a question for Mr. Compton. Why has nhra been treating the Sportsman racers badly and why do they continue to do it? And it's not the pat answer that we lay down and take it. nhra has been rocked several times recently and yet they arrogantly motor along towards oblivion. Why for they do that?
