I like your idea Dwight re qualifying off the index.....I can't think of a single issue with it, drivers would like it, and it would likely make the AHFS work better.
I can here the announcer......T/SA Gremlin versus FS/C Copo......Merryfield gets a huge head start of 4 plus seconds..Merryfield's off in the straight six, is he eating a sandwinch while driving?.He's at the 1/8 mile..here comes Matyas...ooh nice wheelstand...Gremlin's way out ahead.....don't think Matyas can catch him.....at the stripe....the copo by .003 142 mph to 96 for the gremlin..... Here is what it is now, and example of a LODRS race at epping: Merryfield in the T/SA Gremlin versus Johny Gray's beautiful 69 A/SA Camaro. There off, huge wheelstand by Gray.........dead air......Gray runs a 10.05............3.75 seconds later I get to the stripe..... Eric

I'm still watching! Tried to suggest qualifying in Div 3 using the indexes rather than heads up. Never went anywhere. Clearly WAY more interesting from a spectator point of view versus the current method. The super classes are mentioned earlier, with them the first 1000' is probably not at all interesting to the spectators, the finish line is where the Super class action is but sadly there are no stands at the 1320 mark anywhere IIRC. |

Great idea on the qualifying runs to use the index to stagger start.
As a racer, that gives us more practice during time runs because how often do you run someone during eliminations with almost the same dial as yourself ?
