I don't race IHRA as it is too far from Arizona. I went to the inagural Top Stock race as a spectator @ the Norwalk track and I was extremely impressed in not only the facility and staff but the professionalisim of IHRA. To have the owner come around thanking the participants (even myself as they knew I flew in for the race) was just outstanding.
So for what it's worth, as presented, I would be all for this new system. But since I can't race IHRA I really want to show support so NHRA may see the light and use a similar (if not mirror) system. I have always felt the current NHRA points system is geared to the professional level (i.e., those that can travel to any / all races), and to be more specific, having the ability to "throw away" races which were competed with poor results. I know of no other sport, racing included, where one can throw out their "bad day". Well, maybe fishing...
