Now that's what drag racing is supposed to be!!!! Since my back ground is heads up racing, I'm in the similar boat as the earlier poster. Not being a smartbutt, just looking for someone to explain the issue to me. Other than qualifying, how does this affect anything else within the eliminator? I can understand the issue if the new cars and old cars are in the same class and they are paired up, if the new car has an advantage. That could easily be fixed with weight though, correct? Otherwise, I don't understand the issue, since the rest is just bracket racing. Someone please explain what I'm missing that seems to be upsetting so many people. |

In other words, the way I understand it, is the FSS cars can run all out, without penalty against each other. But when they move into regular. eliminations, doesn't it once again, just become a bracket race? At that point I don't see any disadvantage for the older cars. Again, I really don't understand what the issue is, unless it was a heads up race with no break out in affect. Otherwise, why does it matter? I actually see it as an advantage for the older cars, because the new combos will be forced to show their hand much sooner and run all out, instead of hiding behind a soft index.

I personally think Stock and Super Stock would be a much better, more exciting class if everyone ran off of their index, with no breakout in affect. That would end this argument anyway, lol Last edited by Tony Corley; 03-26-2015 at 07:09 PM. |

Back to original question, one of the things I like about NHRA is they try to be fair, yeah I know, going to get killed on that comment. My opinion is you cannot have it both ways, if you are going to run a special race, it should not count toward qualifying. If it counts toward qualifying then it should follow the same AHFS rules You want to really mess things up, your qualifying time is your dial in for race day. |

It's that "for the most part" that can jump up and bite you when you least expect it or can afford it. It's also the reason that we need the AHFS to be in affect for EVERY one in Stock Eliminator at EVERY National Event.
