Qualifying Points in TS and TD

The only reason there was close to a full field is because the local guys decided to come. Atco is fortunate to have the amount of fast cars it has. Going 6's might the biggest craze down south but Top Dragster is still a bracket race, and as the last qualifier on the sheet I still had the same chance to win the race as you did as #1 qualifier. I doubt there will be anywhere near a full field at Atco next weekend. In this economy I believe the fields will be much smaller in general this year. National event entries are way down, that has to reflect on the Divisionals or Opens. Either way I will limp in to Atco with my 7.60 (7.50 with a tailwind) car and have a shot at it.

Bill,

I agree with you 100% about having just a good a shot as anyone as it is still a bracket race. Considering we only had 25 cars last year I believe we will not have many more than that this year. I will be joining you in hoping we dont because I am bringing the other car and like yourself will be in the 7.5-7.60 range.
Either way I hope you or anyone else does not take my thoughts and opinion the wrong way - because that is just what it is. Do I think that our class should have bump spots in the 6.70 range like Rockingham and the recent sportnationals ? Yeah I would love it !! But being a realist I know that is not happening.
I do like that div 1 stayed the same and at least awards points for qualifying. Or should I now be against it because I will in the very bottom of the field - lol.
Either way it is what it is and we all have to deal with it. But if going 6.30, 6.40 or 6.50 to qualify gets you nothing then I will park the car and just race IHRA and some other home series and occasionally just go out and have fun.
Either way racing is here and I hope everyone has a good safe year. Cya at Atco.
