I don`t think it works that way anymore. Index loss is index loss regardless of altitude track or sea level.

Is this to mean that if you race Vegas with an index of 8.75 and take .03 permanent, that this .03 will be taken off the non altitude index as well as the altitude index? Never heard this before. If true, that changes some things. Some of the altitude indexes are softer than than their non altitude indexes by a little and the reason that some Comp racers didn't care if they beat the index up at Vegas while chasing a Championship. I can think of a few with that philosophy over the last several years.

You can take index at any race, Shaun took .05 at the national event. It seems the guys that are super quick at altitude tracks aren't nearly as quick at a none altitude track but NHRA continues to say nothing is wrong with the correction.

Sean Vincent and Clark Smiley elected not to enter Pomona. The entries are closed. Therefore, David Rampy is the 2014 NHRA Comp champion. His fourth title and first since 1995.

I think both needed to reach the semifinals at Pomona to tie Rampy's points total and go to the finals for a clear win.
