You're probably right rock, lol. Heat of the moment I guess. It's just infuriating to possibly see your combination become "obsolete" for lack of a better word. Yes I do bracket race still though.

I guess I'm a little biased in this situation, hahaha.

This poll is completely ridiculous. I for one am opposed. Fortunately, I am a person who only has about 20-25 grand in my entire Super Comp operation. I was fortunate to who have won a dragster through a bracket race and have progressed up to the Super Comp category.

By changing the indexes, this becomes a rich man sport. To be able to run 8.0 or even 7.90, one would have to sink another 15-20 grand in another motor. In today's times, I would assume that this is not feasible for many people.

Take a look at national events, the super comp category was full the majority of the time. Why change something that works?

My motor will only run 8.20's or so, therefore I would not be able to make the index change. You don't have to run 175+ to be competitive these days.

By no way am I gloating or bragging on myself, but in the last three years, I have been able to be competitive in super comp going 158-59 mph. I made it to the Allstars this year, finish second in the division, and have even won a couple divisionals and made it to the final of a national.

The status quo has not changed so neither should the indexes. Like mama said, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

hey austin you know if i can boot you out of SC there's one less person to clip me.....lol

seriously, for the 8.00, 9.00, 10.00 thing to work, NHRA would have to lift the restrictions on entries.....i.e. a slower dragster would be able to enter in "super gas 9.00"

if the indexes are left alone, i say either 1) let dragsters run 9.90 (and maybe even 10.90), or 2) boot the roadsters and door cars out of super comp. not that i mind running door cars or roadsters, i just dont like double standards.

regardless, i think 10.90 should be made a "regular" super class......same pro tree, allow drivers to run multiple cars....etc etc.

My car will only run 10.30s or 40s so you know my answer but also think about this if your trying to help car counts
its easier to slow one down than it is to speed it up(especially on my budget)
and with a 10.00 index you no longer have a super class that an unlicensed driver can run,some drivers have gone to s/st because they can no longer get licensed or cant afford to go as fast
