Raising the index floor across the board by two tenths may somewhat camouflage combinations allowed to run in the wrong class. However it will do nothing to level the playing field, this can only be accomplished by factoring combinations solely on the HP potential of each accepted engine. NHRA Tech have the courage to take the problem head on, this current proposal will only hurt entry level participation when we should be doing everything in our power to encourage it.

My vote: Not only No, but F? NO!!!

I get the part of not wanting to lowering indexs by two tenths to help newbies. But making changes to hp because you can't run as fast as your competitor ain't cool. Either work on your combination or run the same combo that is the fastest. No one stopping you from buying or building the best for the class.
