If we look at Bowling Green Qual sheet. A .2 move of the index only cut one SS of 60 racers. He probably had problems.
In Stock of the 64 cars running only the bottom 2 cars would have been unable to hit the index and they were having problems.

If the indexes were moved down .5 then only number 60 down cars would have been affected in time trials in stock. SS would have affected #54 through 60 making them appear to not run index.

Or of 124 cars time trials listed only 3 cars would have been affected in eliminations by the .2 change of index and we can be fairly sure not all got a good run...

On the other change the quickest way to help the AHFS is to move the trigger as done by the committee.If it hit the top 1/2 of the qualifiers it would just make the whole field more evenly factored. This only affects people who NEED to see the big - numbers and the tougher it gets the more the smaller amount under is respected....its just habit at this point to Need to see big - numbers..
My opinion the committee made a conservative move in the best direction for the entire interest of the racers.
