I'll agree with that!

Barton has the right answer.

There are a few guys, especially on the west coast who run "maxed out" 69 Camaros 396/375 and can put in on the poll at just about any race that they want to.

Hey Mike got nothing to do but stir the pot up. LOL. A very good idea , let's get back to a performance class instead of a bracket race class.

Who the **** is Fred Johnson?Oh he's the no name no car owning/driving instigator who slides out from under his rock to annoy S/SS racers.
It would be nice to see performance back in the eliminator.If I was still active I wouldn't have a problem with the proposed system.My car wasn't competitive in class anyway.That didn't affect me in the eliminator.It might have a bit of an impact in the upper classes.But some things just aren't for the masses.

Here is another problem with the record idea, but I have a solution. Since car counts in Division 1 are so high, they give you a limited amount of chances to actually set a record compared to other divisions. Each divisional director has there own view on how records should be set, and trust me Division 1 is the hardest by far.

Solution: Let anyone set a record at any time, its simple.

David, don't read the explanation, all you need to read is the four rules which are not complicated.

20 points for setting a national record.
No points for re-setting your own record.
Maximum of records in 3 classes per driver per year.
Records in only one car/engine combination per year.

Four simple one sentence rules, no wiggle room, no problems.

Any one sentence rule in the rule book can have a paragraph or more of clarification behind it, if someone asks for clarification.

I think some guys are taking the idea to the extreme but it seems most of us are in agreement that this is a good idea. What would have to be done for implementation? Does NHRA actually care?

This is what I was thinking.

Qualifications

#1 10 points
#2 5 points
#3 3 points
#4 2 points
#5 1 point

Records

Record Set 10 points
- Can't set the same record more than twice in a year
- Record must be .75 under the index or greater

I think that's pretty simple and a fair place to start.

LOOK UP TOOL in the dictionary, SEE Fred Johnston, In his world the basket at a basket ball game would be lowered to 6ft and you would use a softball, he has never had a positive POST!!! and he will pick on old cars too. And nobody seems to no if he has a race car?, Did i miss anything.

This sounds like a good plan. I would have incentive to put an "R" on the window and run some of my old heaps hard. There is no way the whining clan will let any more emphasis put on performance even though it is a performance based class.

Mike I said it in my first post. Talking on here won't get anything done. Everyone needs to write,email,call etc NHRA expressing their opinion on this subject. If only a few do it then you can forget it. If NHRA gets 200 emails about it then maybe something will happen. Also I mentioned our division reps. They could help with this. My .02 Ed
