Olympic rule to be carried over to stock
 
It seems that in light of the ruling at the Olympics, NHRA is thinking about using that to set the precedence. It was noted that several Badminton teams were laying down to get a more favorable draw later in the event and it has long been known that stockers do the same thing. So now that the Olympics have disqulified those teams, NHRA is looking at that ruling in an effort to speed up events. Many racers want to run late so as to see how the others are qualifying and because of that, it takes way to long to get them into the lanes. So they said they will look at the mph on qualifying runs and if they deem that it was not a full pass, the racer will be disqulified.

Best idea I've heard in a while. Maybe 1/8 th mile times will be next.

They started earlier than scheduled the other week. Super Stock was already going down the track when I pulled in the gate. I still got to the lanes before several guys!

Give only 60', 1/8 and 1/4 mile times.
This could slow a lot of sandbagging. They could still short shift, back up timing, etc.

Art - Take that one step further. Give only ET, MPH, Win or Lose. Like the old days!

Then close the lanes. Do that a couple times and they will be there on time, I promise.
I guess I missed the point of this...............Who cares what the other guy does or where he qualifies? Why is this such a big deal? If you go five O and run on your dial, I am pretty sure you will win. Its all about the math so why the drama??
