What's basically been the same for more than 40 years get's changed without input from racers or much if any thought to what the long term consequences are. If you all think taking 3 tenths off the indexes will hurt car counts, wait till these crate motor cars are in every class from AA to J. NHRA let's them in with bogus factors with no regard to us, their customers , who have been doing this for 30 years or more.

I truly think this will have a long term detrimental effect on stock and super stock.

I agree 1000%. They should ALL be Super stock cars and have the HP factors looked at ASAP without waiting 2 or 3 years or more for the AHFS to do it.
