NHRA Creates New Program for 2011 Super Stock and Stock Class Eliminations

Those 7 drivers would be paired up (somehow) and the difference in the indexes for their respective classes would dictate the amount of handicap start the slower class vehicle gets from the start. From there, first to the finish wins.

Then keep pairing up until there are only 2 vehicles left.

Am I understanding this correctly ?

You got it Alan, last man standing gets the trophy. Again this is just an example of "he who has the most $ to spend" will be the winner. At $165 a piece, NHRA can now save a bunch of money on trophys.

Is this correct?

Let us just re-invent the Stock and Super Stock Classes one month before the season begins without any input from the participants and tell them it is wonderful and will be good for everybody.

Huh?(scratching my head)

It sounds like an off shoot of having WAY TO MANY CLASSES to begin with. All those bye runs and 2 car class runs have come back to bite you in your azz. Isnt it time to wake up and realize this in today economy? The manufacturers cannot afford to keep paying for a gazillion different class winners when you dont have to run anyone. They are in business to make money selling parts and services and not give it away when you make a bye run win with parts that you have had on your car bought several years ago. Either change the system or just run for the winner and runner up monies avaliable like the .90 class guys. The .90 and Comp guys dont recieve any class win money or Wally's either for qualifying. They have to WIN the eliminator.

Terry if the manufacturers don't give the money away it goes to nhra.
SO what's your point. Are You Lobbying to make compton richer, or for his legal defence fund?
This will drop the car counts worst than the go fast racing did in the seventies. And there will be no more.

Can they make anything worth doing any worse ? Seems all they do is pile more s--t on S&SS, how could anyone think this latest smoke and mirrors will fix anything. Just more crap to get you off the real problems.

This is one main reason that there are less manufacturers posting anything. The manufacturer has already paid NHRA a lot of money to be on the list to post monies for a class win. A lot do it thru their own in house programs these days. NHRA has screwed themselves and the racers.

Same blue color as Maine lobsters and the ones you catch under the Verranzano Narrows Bridge. LOL

Hope you get more than two bites out of those lobsters. This thing turned red when we boiled it just like a lobster does. Most of the other crawfish from this area are brownish colored and normal sized. We have trapped about four or five of these over the past several years. Very good to eat!

A little more to eat on the lobsters I didn't do it long (helped out for about a month) but I had them up to 7 pounds. Much bigger than most mouths. LOL
