Index Change - Page 2

Now Div and Nat open count and alt adjust tracks this will put alot more runs in AHFS. Should of lower the triggers by .3 or more.

Div. and opens only count if you go fast enough for instant hp. 1.25 under the new indexes.

I was thinking the same thing. With the lowered indexes, they should dump that rule.

so basically the cars that haven't been hit with HP have a huge advantage

I was reading too much into it. Greg is right. Div. and opens only count if you go fast enough for instant hp. 1.25 under the new indexes.

The way I see it . The fast guys have another .15 to play with. And the people that could just barely run the index, might have trouble in bad air.
But when you think about it taking a second under to get in the program, in the past.
It really doesn't change much
Personally I like the change

Mickey, all the combinations like the 396's the LT1's the LS1's have high hp ratings while the newer combos will never get hit. I don't really have a problem with the new rules if the combinations are fairly factored. The way it is now is a joke. I can't even run fast enough in my car to get looked at now,and I've got a decent car.

[QUOTE=quadfather;157537]I'm just curious, what happens to all the records now ? Do they change, or do they just start from scratch, or will there be all new records ?

I guess I don't see how an index change affects anyone's current record ... I would think only HP changes would affect records. I would think that class winners are class winners as long as they run under the new index. To me nothing has changed except for the bad boys now have another .15 hun to play with ... Merry Christmas ..
