Nothing is perfect but the basic index concept is as fair to everyone as it's going to get. If you have the resources to go faster than everyone else, have at it. If you don't, you can still take part and have just as good of a chance at success (winning) as the next guy. Either way, nothing worth having is going to come easy.

I agree Rick, however this has nothing to do with AHFS. If done right this can determine if the engine has the correct HP on it to start. The system right now keeps the fast engines artificially on top. Do you know how fast a combo has to be to average a second under? It tells a story all by itself.
