I know this is bracket racing, until another car with the same letter on the side window is in the other lane.

We can either lower indexes, so the peeps that ACTUALLY work on their junk can see what they have done over the winter, or make the breaks one pound, so we can get better chances at heads-ups, which is actually what these two categories were made for.
I happen to race in one of the more populated classes in our division. At any of our divisional races we sometimes have as many as 6 SS/IA cars there. I am usually the slowest and take my lumps when I get a heads up. One race we had 30 cars total and had 6 SS/IA cars in the field. Most all the cars that I race against have a 25 Cu In advantage and carry less weight so my chances are remote that I could ever catch up with them. I dont let that bother me. I just keep trudging along. My program is to be a consistent driver and predictable car. I do go rounds and would have most likely finished top ten in D2 if it hadnt been for the 2 hurricanes we had this year in Florida. That caused me to miss 2 of the last races of the year. I race for enjoyment. If I win that is great. If I loose i just pack my stuff up and head to the house.
Personally i dont see that an index reduction will enhance our classes. Maybe accelerate the eventual end of the classes. we have been loosing racetracks here in D2 this year we only have 4 tracks hosting divisional races. Lower car counts will not help that. We all need to do what is necessary to improve the health of the classes to preserve our style of racing. I have been racing SS for over 40 years. its always been a shoe polish class since I started. There are classes that run all out, no dial, no break out in NHRA if that is your style then maybe step up to comp, pro stock, FX or pro mod.
