Wondering what stock racers think

Question for my good friends the Parker brothers, and I'm just asking so people will understand what you're wanting. I'm not arguing or disagreeing, more hoping to inspire a productive discussion.

What is your goal for lowering the indexes? What are you hoping to accomplish?

As for some of the other suggestions, I've been advocating one pound weight breaks starting at 7.0 pounds per factored HP for several years now, with A/S and A/SA being 7.0 pounds. As well as adding class eliminations after the first round of qualifying at every event.

Smart racers are always going to protect their combination, they'd be idiots, and real slow before long, if they didn't.

It should be painfully obvious to anyone who is thinking, we do not want another HP committee, not with NHRA people, and not with racers either. There probably are much better ways to manage the class than the current AHFS as it is, but that's an entirely different discussion.
