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.

This is a silly thread anyway, NHRA will never consider a proposal like this as it would eliminate competitors. Also, I never said anything about eliminating heads-up runs in competition, maybe that's your suggestion?

Mike I found this post back on page 3 drifting away in the wind. Not much support for this idea. To bad.

Ed, there is a lot of support for this idea. Unfortunately, none of it matters to NHRA, which is who we'd have to get to put it into place. It would add a considerable amount of "work" to their already intolerable burden of carrying sportsman drag racing along for the ride with the "pro circus".
