Rampy is gonna hafta make another run 55 under his new cic index plus cut a real good light too if Warter runs his flat out @540 under to beat him--- plus Rampy will lose a .01 or more to his perm index if he does that and be a tentht cic for round 4--whats he got left can he run that fast? we will see in round 3

Well looks like Vincent will lose on head to head matchups with Patterson in Div 5, lets see if he goes to Pomona, he would have to go anyway if he won the championship. Tom

Losing permanent index at Las Vegas doesn't effect any of the Championship contenders. Las Vegas is altitude indexes. The ones that go to Pomona will have their original non altitude index to beat up in their efforts.

I don`t think it works that way anymore. Index loss is index loss regardless of altitude track or sea level.

Is this to mean that if you race Vegas with an index of 8.75 and take .03 permanent, that this .03 will be taken off the non altitude index as well as the altitude index? Never heard this before. If true, that changes some things. Some of the altitude indexes are softer than than their non altitude indexes by a little and the reason that some Comp racers didn't care if they beat the index up at Vegas while chasing a Championship. I can think of a few with that philosophy over the last several years.

You can take index at any race, Shaun took .05 at the national event. It seems the guys that are super quick at altitude tracks aren't nearly as quick at a none altitude track but NHRA continues to say nothing is wrong with the correction.
