Since I still don't completely understand all the PI and Index stuff can someone explain to me how the class index got lowered from 7.72 to 7.62?
First of all congrats to Bruno on the win. Second way to race to win. Third this is how comp has always been. Fourth you can always run Top Sportsman and put whatever dial you want on your car. Stop crying this is comp
Look at it this way, Carey. Just disregard personal for a second. Permanent hits used to always be at .610 under the class index. Now they are at .710 under. We also got a tenth back two years ago. Now for some classes, yours in particular, that tenth has been given back, and then some. But originally, that permanent hit # was still the same ET-wise on the track. For example: Class A had a 7.00 index, so permanent hit was at 6.39 (.610 under). After index shift Class A has a 7.10 index, but the permanent hit is still at 6.39 (.710 under). All you have to do is look at the end of the race. He went 6.900. Class index (permanent) was 7.72. That's .820 under. If this would've been three years ago and the index was .62, it would've been .720 under, which would've still been a permanent hit.
I agree it is confusing sometimes, but I like to just look at it at the end of the race and do a little math and it's not so bad!
Congrats to Bruno, though. I like his style. We may not have a turbo but we like to think we are all 4 cylinder brothers. Haha
I'm new to comp, so don't know "that's the way it's always been".
Guess being rightfully pissed means I'm crying and looking for handouts. And some wonder why their is no new blood in Comp.
How else would it work? In other words do you have another method of indexing in mind?So in the end we both got hit the same amount. Seems logical to penalize us the same as my car was sitting in the shop that weekend. So you qualify off your personal, you race in eliminations off your personal, but when it comes down to it, the whole class suffers if you go too fast.

I was genuinely asking if you had a better suggestion. Because in the post I quoted you seemed to be unhappy with the current system, relax dudeNo, I don't have anything in mind. Like I said, and I believe I've said it SEVERAL times in this thread already, I was just confused between personal and class indexes and how they are effected.
I guess some of you just like to argue. I appreciate Ben Holt keeping this on topic and helping me understand it better.

I don't feel like I was trying to argue or lecture you. I was just pointing out what's wrong with giving 2 tenths back, and you just experienced it. So going back to what I said several months ago, Bruno just showed what this system does to a class. He could have been -.62 this weekend, but instead, he was -.82. The only good part, if there is one, and I'm sure you don't feel this way, is that only 1 person has been effected. Just wait until it happens in a class that has 10 cars in it.
