Default How crazy would it be.....

if the NHRA went back to running off of National Records in Stock and SS? No more indexes, no more AHFS.
Any Racer who goes faster than the record or minimum becomes the record holder and don't even tear them all down! All that they can do is hurt themselves and others in their class. Go ahead, go as fast as you want! I've got more than a couple of bodies laying around.
And yes, I have taken my meds this morning.

Not exactly relevant to the thread topic, but wouldn't it be fun if D1 did a quick 8 in STK/SS and ran it like a Comp Eliminator race? They already do a run-off with the top qualifiers in SG/SC/SST. I think a top 8 run-off in STK and SS would be badass. I would absolutely watch that from the grandstands. They could even make it part of the track's event so AHFS wouldn't be in play for the run-off itself. The one they tried to do at class racer nats was easily the highlight of my viewing experience this year.

No Problem did that years ago, it was a fun race. Your dial in was your index, first to the finish was the winner. And like Comp, your index would be adjusted for the next round based by how far under you ran.

We could also go back to the way HP factoring was done.
Congratulations on your new National Record! Here's 10 HP!

So instead of shooting for a 14.85....I should start shooting for a high 12 or low 13?? (if we went back to the way it was)

Pretty sure that would mean whoever qualifies at the top of the field would keep racing and the rest of us would go back bracket racing.

It would be a weird race, me with say a 13.00 index in U and someone else with an index equally away from their actual ET, wompin to stay ahead but not enough to set a record and be even farther behind in the next round...no thanks.
