CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post

I guess my views are coming from the Class Winner instinct, not the Eliminator Bracket mode thinking.
I feel The AHFS helps but is so slow and limited too many unjust factors exist too long and many good racers get discouraged by "paper cars" or new "under factored" stuff. How about those injected motors not even on the radar.
At this time I feel the Championship is actually a salute to Bracket racers with Expensive SS and Stk cars. The "olde guy" racer who still wants a class trophy for beating 4 or 5 cars in class is essentially unrewarded in the points system. He is not rewarded for setting a national record and being torn down.
I feel racers should ALL be rewarded for ALL the variations of the sport each likes not ignored for the original goal of Drag Racing , winning by being Fastest, first to the line, however you classify it.
Change it to mean POINTS to win class, and set records and win rounds and everyone will be represented and rewarded again. No one Loses in the racing only some get recognition which COUNTS towards the big picture again.
Side benefit will be the faster AHFS adjustments which would help everyone feel it works.
