Might as well deal with reality here.
Carry on.

If there are actually quite a few fast lower class combos that are never going to get built then aren't they a moot point in this discussion?
If a tree falls in the forest but no-one is there, does it make a sound?

Yup, that was my point.

Other than that, opinions on this thread are all over the map.

Lower the indexes
Raise the indexes
Lower the triggers
Raise the triggers
Quotas
No quotas
It's a performance eliminator
It's not a performance eliminator..Some guys are struggling to run the current indexes
Like herding cats...
This thread could go on for years..

How about NHRA just take the bull by the horns and deal with the mess they made?
They never had a problem giving some of us the bend over treatment in the past.

We'll deal with it..just like we used to.

I would still be in as there are like never 129 car fields. I'm still going to be 1 second slower then other U/SA cars. Now if you go .4 lower on the index I might change my mind or spend time and money to get qualified.

My dimes worth:We've been running stock for a long time and have been through the spend all our money to make a real fast car scenerio. We're going to race stock no matter what until we can't physically do it.Having said that being on a fixed income it's gotten to the point that: We spend money on car to make it run better and not have any to go on ; Or not spend any on car and be able to race. We chose latter. Working on car nowaday's really means trying different parts (spending money) to make car quicker.All this talk about raising,lowering indexes,Ahfs, means nothing to us and probably a lot of other people that just want to be there.See you at races,we'll be down towards bottom of qualifying sheet and be glad to be on it.
