Seriously now , folks

I've noticed that whenever a slower FWD car gets a huge head start, half the fans (however many are there) will root for the tortoise, and the other half, for the hare.

However, watching them time trial at the same time is b-o-o-o-ring!
This is not a new idea.I wish I could give credit to however thought it up and posted it years ago, but anyway, why not use the indexes and stagger the tree accordingly?
Both drivers would get more practice this way. It doesn't take any longer to get both cars down the track and onto the return road, plus, it would much more watchable.
What is the down side , cuz I sure don't see it?

Great Idea Mark. Wish it would happen.

Brilliant ... Used to love watching A/SA or B/SA chasing down a PQRSTU/S etc ...

Count me in. It would make qualifying much more watchable for spectators (friends and family, mostly) and fun for us participants. As a side benefit, it would make the class / index system easier to explain to folks.

Our Div 4 points races used to qualify that way. Not sure why they quit.

I love the idea!!! I wish Midwest Class Racer would do it that way!

Re: Making Stock and Super / Stock Sellable
 

The only down side I see is that currently in time trials, if the fast car loses it at the stripe the slow car just sits back and watches, instead of being up to his eyeballs in it.

Of course, there's less motivation to stomp on the brakes I presume, so the chances aren't as high.

Despite that, the more I think about it, the more I like it.

This needs to happen!!!! Makes total sense. Does anyone know why Div 4 stopped this? Comp would benefit from this also.

We used to do it in the CCRA using dial-ins and it was great. I always thought using the indexes / handicap start in qualifying would really be great for the drivers and fans. Any thoughts on allowing dial-ins during qualifying? NHRA and IHRA u listening?
