Is it time to fix Super Class Racing?

[Chris Williams]

So let's see if we can make this racing more complex and confusing. You try to run 8.90 (a random number if there ever was one), unless you run too quick then you lose, unless your opponent runs quicker than you then they lose, unless you go over some randomly selected MPH then you lose, unless your opponent goes faster than that in which they lose. Let's say you pick 160mph. I run 8.899 at 160, my opponent runs 8.900 at 161, who wins?

How do you pick the MPH? 160 in SC? Fine, chase more people to TD. Whatever number you choose, a certain percentage of people in each Super class will automatically get kicked out and sent to brackets like TD. And leave an even smaller SC field.

You guys are really making this complicated. As I said, just make it 8, 9, 10, even add 11 if you must, pro-tree index classes with electronics allowed, any body style.

This is a self-fixing problem. With the way it's going, the Super classes will die within five years. Car counts are down, spectators hate it, NHRA gives them little/no respect. We don't have to fix something that's on life support. Just pull the plug.
