HP Reduction Request

[Adger Smith]

Qualifying off the index would make qualifying look more like a race for the few spectators that show up, now. At this time all a spectator sees in Qualifying is "Timed Runs" nothing that resembles a race.
If I was in charge the racers would probably put a hit on me because I would be doing everything I could to get spectators in the seats.

I surely see no harm in reducing forgotten combinations. I really don't see this producing new young racers much either unless Dad has a 67 GTO he is tired of looking at.. Now a days a street car can go faster than 12 seconds it seems which takes more money to run. Just building any new stockers is more than a few dimes. Most folks are looking for built cars that need a new owner. Again if you need my vote... Yes! reduce forgotten combinations. Good Luck!

Also, the local associations. We could use more cars at ours. It's a great program.
Cash in hand, same day.

Yep!!! This has been brought up so many times that NHRA and the tracks have to be against it.

Great point, but I don`t understand why?
More work for the tower crew?
Problem is, with the entry fees being $170+50, I don`t think it matters much if spectators show or not.

I figure at a LODS each car entered brings at least one,or two crew / spectators .At $50 to $60 for each person, that brings quite a bit of extra income to the track at these events.

in case you haven`t seen this....better pack a lunch.

Performance is where it's at for me and guys like Wann, Sorenson, Hale, Boudreau, Owens, Beach and many more are the reason I still follow this sport.

The Yacavone, Nees and Southerland Consulting Firm should be hired by the NHRA.
