Three issues being discussed in this thread rolled into one
1) Moving the index down ---- PURELY cosmetic it does not affect any other part of S or SS.
2) Poorly factored cars ----MOVING the trigger is THE answer if NHRA will not or cannot factor more correctly when combinations begin to run. It needs to be less far under the index to make a difference that will be seen. If the index moves down for cosmetic appearance then trigger needs to move the same amount and more. If the index drops .2 then trigger needs to decrease .3.(to start with, .4 would be better)
3) Costs of racing is the third subject of the thread. Thats racing, Upgrades occur . Work with them or dont. It will not go back to the old ways. Most things added are an improvement to equipment.

Dick, in the real world of racing, reducing the indexes is not cosmetic. The changes have been a long time coming when you consider all of the "accepted" performance improvements. The change will provide some real relief to those of us who take performance seriously.
