The New Rules for Class Run-Offs

[Toyotakid]

I understand the reasoning behind the move, I understand the thoughts of "Learn how to win on Sunday" reasoning. What does not make sense is lumping single cars together and running them off of the NHRA provided index. Most indexes are based off of a mythical horsepower factor. Some are based off of lbs. per c.i. so it is not a true test of a class race. Guys protect their indexes fiercly while some don't care as it does not really affect them. It would seem that IF you were going to lump all the single cars together for a run off they should use their qualifying time as their "dial in number" for the run off as NO ONE ever sand bags those (that is a joke, don't flame that thought) ... Just thinking out loud here.
