What? No.

NO. (...and the "S" does NOT stand for snowflake.)

So your car would have a personal index like a bowling handicap? Then why ever work on your car? Sounds like socialism to me.It may help the low budget team, but its also a slap in the face for those who work hard and spend money they sometimes don't have to be competetive.

Uh, no...

This coming from someone who is .40+ behind the fast guys... I'd rather keep picking at it and driving my a** off when I have to.

Oh by the way what happens when I sell my .8 under car and the buyer can only go .5? Does he get to adjust his index back to a lower number? NHRA can't keep up now, can't imagine them doing anything like this.

Bam! ( That's the sound of the mic drop)

I think not!! I'm not sure of the comp guys take, but their car count numbers are not improving. I don't know if the P I has anything to do with it, sounds like a poor idea to me.
