S/SS.You will have the same 20 guys with deep pockets racing.Just like it was when the bracket format was introduced to raise participation levels.

No silly, try to keep up . I propose we run heads up instead of 2-3 days of boring practice. Use a 5 cent CPU (pencil) if NHRA wants not to help, we organize it on our own. Just show up to practice with your index on the front windshield. Sunday, Sunday, Sunday will stay the same for all those 3 fans who want to watch such a thing.

I would like to see a format like that.But would NHRA go for it?I think you would hear"Sounds good,but it would take too long due to the time lost with the handicap starts".Would there be payouts for the class winners or just the satisfaction of winning class?How about the dreaded AHFS?

There is no AHFS in points races or open races unless you go 1.4 under. If your car will go 1.4 under we dont feel sorry for you anyways, we are happy for you. No handicap starts. Run all the same indexes heads up. If you want to run someone index to index, do it and we figure out who won with the 5 cent CPU.

NHRA can help if they wish otherwise we do it on our own. If we cant organize our own match race, shame on us. If we dont finish and run out of practice runs, we go by who was still in and went the fastest. I guarantee there will be prizes for such a thing and NHRA might even get a few guys coming to watch the S/SS shoot out and buy some dogs and chips. Let me tell you the NMCA guys know how to put on a show.
