2015 AA/S and AA/SA Could Be Very Exciting

I can't believe that you guys want this index left alone so you can have a place to play without risk of getting HP.. Talk about a personal agenda. Guess some of you believe it's real nice to have a quiet practice class of your own with no regard to the interest of a fair and level playing field for racers that may want to have an EQUAL chance of qualifying now that the new cars are out of the picture. Yeah sure. Great idea....

This index should be 10.75 to 10.80 in order to be fair. You all know it, I know it, and so does anyone serious about racing this class for other than a test basin. Dave was being honest when he said 200 pounds was only .18 and he was right on the money! Now that's settled- so where does a 10.60 index find any level of support?

Yo Ken...for the record. NOBODY running 9.80's will qualify at Indy next year in AA. If you recall the the bump at Indy this year was .88.2 under. My math says your 9.80 shot on a 10.60 index would be just good enough to tie with Corda for the NUMBER 157 slot. How's that for going deep in the DNQ dept?

Let's put it this way. There isn't one, not one, traditional Stock Eliminator car in the entire country that even at sea level could possibly trigger a Tuesday morning HP hit. In fact 9.55 to 9.60 ( @ sea level) would be a killer lick in one of these A cars with 200-225 pounds of weight removed from it.

Sorry for the rant guys but your rationale for wanting to leave an unfair index in place so you don't have to worry about the possibility of getting HP is just plain ridiculous.
