Index Change Rumor

[Ron Ortiz]

So you want to lower the index so cars that are around 2-3 tenths under will have a harder time to qualify. That makes a lot of sense. Why not lower them 5 tenths so you can eliminate more cars. Or how about we lower the field size to 16 or 32. Raise the quota to 8 grade point or more. That should do it.

You people are going to kill sportsman racing with your own egos. But it is a performance based category. Guess I'll have to work harder on my stuff or buy a newer car. Either that or write a letter to Glendora with a special gift enclosed. And if I don't like it I can go bracket racing or get a Ford with a 302.

Racing used to be so much more fun.

Remember Ron, it’s just a rumor !!
We shall see what happens soon enough.
You should write a letter and ask for HP off of your combo, can’t hurt to ask.
But please don’t buy a Ford, lol....
Your car is unique, just like the driver.....

Where do they have to qualify??? I'm not seeing many 128 car fields, except at Indy where those cars wouldn't qualify anyway.

Now it would suck come eliminations time when they couldn't run the index!
