Index Change Rumor

For the record I do believe Barry said he is NOT a fan of lowering the indexes, but would like to see NHRA do something about the AFHS.
Barry I think you may be wrong in thinking that no new or young people want to get into stock. My son joined the ranks this year, and I have another one behind him.
You are correct stock is not cheap anymore, however lowering the indexes won't help.
Stock needs to stay as a entry level class. We need to keep it affordable for new and young people to come join us and Learn. Let's show them what it takes to work on a car and let them want to get faster for the heads up races. If we just keep changing indexes and rules just to suite the faster cars we will have NO future.
