I didn't say slow, I said slower. We are pretty much all slower than someone else. In SS, That would include all but Caro, our (Div 4) prenial #1 guy.

did you guys miss the math ?
drop indexes .50 new trigger 1.00 = 1.50 under current index... only .10 more wiggle room

anyway as much as i have BEGGED for it i agree with the MONEY issue NHRA would be idiots to lower them now it would cut into thier MONEY and that is pretty much what they seem to be all about

Jack,thanks for the vindication.Obviously us "lower class" drivers have the time to think going down the track.Even have time to eat a snack before looking back at 1,000'.

The way I read it,1.50 under the current index will only trigger a "review".It takes 1.40 under the current index to get automatic horsepower.Drop the indexes by .50,and it will then take 1.90 under before a combination would receive automatic horsepower.
Probably a lot less bookkeeeping for NHRA.However,I'm sure there will still be some people complaining that a 1.90 under car can get horsepower!
