I'll try and do a spread sheet on how many headsup run's would happen on .75 versus 1.0 weight breaks. Just for fun

Bracket racer and fan of stock here. How about getting rid of the handicap start? Drivers would not know when to lift if there was no one next to them. Yes, cars will still be driven in bracket mode but at least they would be kind of forced to make a full pass for consistancy sake, would'nt they? It may not flush out much more performance but at least it would put an stop to the top end nonsense and make life more difficult for the sandbaggers. Not trying to be a smart ***, if this makes no sense please explain.

Here's my idea.One car lines up on the starting line.The other car lines up in the other lane on a starting line 1/2 mile down the track.Handicap start and both cars race to the finish line.No clean/dirty tree,no fast car advantage chasing and as much sense as some of the bull$hit that's being suggested.
How about we all band together and pressure the powers that be to fix the HP/AHFS mess.

I agree with the no break out concept but in the final round only as it would;
1. Places more emphasis back on performance incase you made the final 2. First car to finish line winner making it easier for spectators to relate, I.e. Pinks all out 3. Who wouldn't give up 5 HP for a national win (some poor drivers may have to give up even more) Jim Parsons |

The answer to that would be what NHRA did a couple of years ago with class winners at the Indy nationals.
