S/SS - Lower the index -0.50 & run Pro ladder

Alan, let me correct my trigger theory. What I meant was that they should eliminate the trigger and the evaluation number. The people that are trying to avoid the 1.14 thing should be allowed to run it out. Get rid of this "number" that is holding back racers from doing what they really want to, that is to go fast. The system that is in place now could work if applied correctly. But, there are too many that are holding back because of a HP hit that are messing the system up. So, if you eliminate the "triggers", cars can go fast, competition will get better, and there will be a better view of the combos that might need an adjustment. During this free for all period NHRA should be accumulating data such as incrimental times to do a fair evaluation of adjustments in the future. But with people holding back NHRA cannot judge fairly due to tarnished data. After about a year of this NHRA can then come up with a master realignment of HP factors, and then go back to the system that is in place now due to accurate data. As long as there is a number to avoid there will be inaccurate data.

Art, Ouija boards, dart boards, personal vendetas, and last but far from least WHINERS, CRYBABIES and the like. Aren't they doing that now?
