Bryan, Thanks for your comment on rewarding Class wins. My point is if you continue to degrade the winning of class by not rewarding the winner of reasonable sized class to run eliminator then why would others reward it? Why would it be a goal? Why will they even be needed with rules on parts and specs?
If fast racers in their class or NHRA wants to correct the problem of Bye run classes they dont want in Eliminator then Consolidate it so you get Class winners who WIN by beating some cars. Winners who HAVE to work to be fast in the other classes. Winners who give some crowd appeal to Class racing day, not just a two car bye down the track and take a meaningless trophy.
FIX the overall issue of TOO many Classes dividing up the cars so TOO many Bye runs or No Show classes. Then the Class racing can be rewarded and maybe become more popular with spectators then more sponsors and etc etc... could happen. If you doubt it thats fine but IT IS PROVING it is NOT valuable NOW as it is so what is there to lose by trying another approach (which worked before the numbers of classes was doubled)
IT IS THE TOO MANY CLASSES WHICH IS MAKING PEOPLE PUSH FOR THE QUICK 128 successfully.
