I would like to see low qualifier get the bye, but at least NHRA should make a rule about this so we could do it the same every time.
At Indy a few years ago the racers in my class voted to flip a coin first round which we did, then a remaining racer insisted on using low qualifier for second round when he thought he was lowest left, then after finding out I was lower because of the first round run changed his mind again saying we have to do it the same as first round and flip a coin again. Thanks Jerry |

In the older days NHRA would have a number wrote down on every class that had uneven cars in them.. What ever number it was ex.[ "3 " in 11 car field] 3rd car in line would get the bye.. NO one knew who it was until you pulled out of staging lane heading to the line. There was no flipping or pullings cards.

#1qualifier of each class only applies to the first round and he or she should get the bye run. Flipping coins, drawing numbers, etc. should be used thereafter. But no more bye runs for #1. This procedure was explained to me by a Division Director at the Jegs Sport Nationals a few years ago. Sounds reasonable.

I believe class should be set up in a pro ladder. Why? Because it keeps the other cars from qualifing at the bottom so they keep from running the fastest car. Greg Schenck |

The DD said the #1 guy gets only one bye. Flipping coins or drawing numbers makes the most sense.

If there are an Odd number of cars in class, or if it's a combo ss/s, I think the fastest car under thier index should get the bye no matter when the odd number happens. (provided they are still in.) It cost a lot of money to be the number one qualifier and thus they should be rewarded. If number 1, is out, it should go to number 2, and so on. easy for everyone to understand.

The fastest car should always get the bye! If it rains NHRA doesn't flip coins or look at cards to see who gets the Wally!
