Rules for Class Championship on NHRA

[Bobby Fazio]

This is a year late but I thought the main problem was too many single runs getting easy money was causing sponsors to pull out as well as making class elims less enjoyable to watch. So they did away with single runs and made combos, and as sad as I was about that, I knew that it was the right thing to do and a way to make sponsors and spectators who like watching class runs happier. But why did they have to create combos AND pull the money (aside from indy and Jegs nats)? Couldn't they do one or the other? Keep single runs and pull the money, or run the combos and pay the money?

Regardless, it would have been an admirable gesture by NHRA if they could have stepped up to the plate and started offering some money to class winners.
