Thumbs up Re: Points for Qualifying and Records

I'm not talking about someone winning a division because they have a fast car but how about 10 points for #1 qualifier, 5 for #2, and 3 for #3. How about we set the record "minimum" to .75 under and award 10 points per record? I'm sure some rules would have to be in the place like you can't reset your own record within the year. Ultimately, I think giving people an incentive to be #1 or #2 qualifier will help the AHFS do it job more efficiently.

I don't think either is unrealistic and they give people a real reason to put the car on kill and see if they can put it on the top spot. Also, I'm sure the record books would start to fill up again.

Any thoughts? Suggestions?
Sounds great to me,I'm all in. Just cut off the AHFS when setting a record and racing will be fun again. Also when two cars in the same class run heads up for class cut off the AHFS.
