Dick, that was tried once before in 1970. It was called Pro/Stock and you can see where that ended up. I love the premise but it always gets out of control in a hurry.
Some time ago I sent you a PM with an idea for a "heads-up" eliminator that would work and not get out of control and it didn't meet with your approval.
