Good points bob,
So are we saying this is where we are at now? That with no personal index that every time a guy goes and finds something and runs quicker, that the other guys in his class are gonna quit? That sounds like the person problem more than a comp problem... the person who quit was at the end of his rope or didn't want to advance with technology. Well, ive been on both sides of that coin with c/ed. I had raced c/ed for so long i was tired of it so i went another direction instead. But i love comp so i wasnt gonna quit racing it..
There are other classes in comp and most motors will fit more than one class with minor changes or find another comp class and build something new. I would think that would be good for you because a guy might send his stuff back to you looking for another 20 hp or build a new piece.
Stuff changes constantly. Phones, computers, automobiles. Why are we hoping that comp should be stagnant and a guy with less power should be able to run 60 under in a performance based class? Why are we trying to make him stay in the same class by giving him a different index.The index system was made to level all cars and create a system to balance run away indexes(mostly because new classes have been created too many times). Not to keep the people who dont want to work at it..and yes we all work at it but some more than others. I dont think everybody should be 60 under. Only the best should be 60 under. Thats part of the problem in my opinion. Everyone thinking that they should be the fastest out there even if they are not working as hard as someone else.
I like to see people run it to the finish line, and i want to see cool new ideas at the track every weekend. I like technology and progress. I love to see people think outside the box. Using their brains and coming up with something awesome. If we keep on the current direction of the class i think we are gonna lose that. No need to build anything new. Just put a new driver in your car every six months. If no one else was in that class that could last forever...
