ATTN Sportsman Council Members and Racers

I have been out of it a long time so I may not know all the factors involved here.
What is the problem with getting rid of the trigger totally & leaving the indexes alone? The 55 year old seasoned veteran can run as quick as he wants so will now be at perhaps -1.6 rather than -1.3999 (& hard on the brakes).
The new comer just seeing if he wants to class race or simply go brackets can still compete. In many cases with these young guys if they can not be competitive fairly quickly they will go to e.t. never to return to class racing.
I recently attended my first points race in nearly fifteen years & there is a lot of gray hair in the Stock/Super Stock ranks but not a lot of new blood. Drop the indexes & the up & coming will go some where else to race leaving the S/SS ranks slowly diminishing as older racers retire from the sport.
