Attention Nova 350/255 stock combo.

[MikeMoller]

There are a few problems with class winners and then fastest qualifiers. A few smart racers in the same class who can barely run the index will enter an event (Indy?)just so one of them can win class and get in the show. There also may be more classes represented at a given race with cars not that competitive but can win class(keeping the combo's helps some). The fast guys sure won't like this. I do not have a dog in this fight, just making some observations.

We used to have 25 thoroughbred racehorses ,and at that time if a horse ran really good the racing association would make that horse run extra weight ,Now this was would be a cool way to even the fields ,it might be a little hard to control but when a single racer runs fast add weight on him not the the whole combination .By the way Horse racing is twice as expensive as drag racing .big time i know lol

Don, I think they do something like that in Comp.

Mike, you DO have a "dog in this fight". You didn't win class at Indy and went fast enough to qualify.
"A few smart Racers in the same class who can barely run the index will enter an event just so one of them can win class and get in the show". Really? Come on.

Maybe there's a few smart Racers out there right now that run the same class and only have one good motor between them so they swap motors between qualifying rounds.

What's wrong with there being more classes represented? Some classes ARE much more competitive than others and have much better combos in them than others.

Sorry pal, if you win class at Indy you have accomplished something. As long as you are beating another competitor you deserve to be in the field. And I agree that the combo classes should stay.
