How crazy would it be.....

[Mike Pearson]

That idea would be idiotic today as it was back when they did it that way. First off there is no record in most classes just a minimum that is set off the indexes that we have today. Secondly that would kill both of the classes. I like racing but there is no way I would travel to the divisional races where I have absolutely no chance to win or go rounds. Most would feel the same way.

So you didnt like the idea of lowering indexes by .02 and .03 but you like this idea?

[J.R. Haddad]

Well Billy, you say you've taken your meds, but we have no proof of that. In fact this idea would almost suggest otherwise. I think NHRA has a class just
like what you're suggesting. I believe they call it Comp Eliminator. And if for some reason spending that kind of money doesn't scare the pants right off
of you, may I suggest you contact Greg Anderson or Richard Freeman who
will work out a budget for that fits your lifestyle.

J.R., think about the repercussions of that and lowering the indexes and doing away with the AHFS (which is what some Racers want). we would wind up in exactly the same place!

Can Stock or Super Stock even run in comp?

There were way more car brand battles that made fastest car in class fun. No driver weight was in play in the early days. Those battles for the new generation vehicles and the folks that relate to them are only available at E.T. races now.

1 lb. breaks get tougher at higher HP ratings. At 200 hp a racer could easily bounce between 2 classes. At 400+ HP a racer could be stuck, and there are several combinations in the 500-650 HP range.

This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ so the guys who want 1lb. breaks, don't forget this!
Different deal but just an FYI because I've run into it, some of the FWD stuff is 3 lb. breaks. Imagine what it's like with a 140 HP combo having to add or subtract 420 lbs..
It kinda makes a combo a 1 class car in a hurry.

If there is not a class for you there, they will make 1 up. But, they face but at the end of each day Comp has the same issues as far as indexes. And a cure, personal permanent and immediate personal index hits. Watch the class closely as 1,000 ft drops are common among fearful yet very competitive racers.

The expensive hobby is not for the meek and you better run it like a real business or broke even the rich will be.
