So to answer the question, Next time this driver/car enters a race NHRA tech should do a complete inspection of this car and engine, that would end the complaining. If it passes great if it doesn?t then it should be reversed.

Lowering the indexes will be the least fair way to ?fix? what honestly isn?t broken. How would the 1969 Camaro 350/255 combo feel about donating anotjer tenth to fix it if it?s an across the board thing?
There are lots of combo?s that didn?t benefit from some of the upgrades or have already had adjustments because of the rules. The 302 Ford 2 bbl combo?s all took a pretty good beating too a couple years ago. Shave another tenth off of them after most of them have been beaten up is also silly.
The system should be harsher to weed out the softer combo?s if the tenth across the board is the idea. 2 reviews a year, -1.20 auto hit, no free pass in Class elims or Indy. That will get the softer combo?s in line faster.
Personal indexes like in Comp are a nightmare to manage especially for 100 plus car fields and there are ways around it for teams with multiple cars or drivers. So the recent offender would now just not run H/SA and run G/SA and be fast again for example but everyone else with that combo can still be fast in FGH and when that same offender beats up all 3 then he?s the only one in EFG? It?s not as easy as it sounds. Also he can just switch drivers and the car is back in FGH if he has a 2 car team like some do.
Plus you?d have to police yourself and your competitor like at Indy. Hence the Complicated Eliminator
