(Raises hand) A business partner of mine and I built an S-10 a few years back, and despite continued work, many combinations of components, and a lot of money, it's still an index runner.

If an average Stocker can come over and run under, the indexes are way too soft. Guess it's nice for them to be able to still race national events where SS runs instead of Stock. Some of them are fast enough to run under the SS indexes if lowered 1/2 sec.

An Stocker running -.50 under the Super Stock index is an AVERAGE Stocker?

I still think the higher qualified SUPER STOCKER should get lane choice instead of a coin toss.

I wouldn't have a problem with that.


Here's a simple idea that would help out the AHFS a little bit. Why not denote both a minimum AND a maximum on the weight sticker? In my opinion, if a car weighs enough to run the next lower class, is should have to run that class. People could still run heavy, just not ridiculously heavy.
