Records/Minimum

You would go into sticker shock at the entrance when they said $15 a day or $50 for all week to watch 478 {so far} of the fastest cars in the world race

I would like to see it. You collect 5 points per record set for 10 total. The recond has to be under index not .5 under and you can get points on a max of 2 records set in one year. Set as many as you want but get points for only two. After qualifying, get in the record lane, then get your shot at the record, no HP etc. Record stands for 2 years then back to min. make a show of it, I can hear the PA "These racers here are going after the respected records, they get there one shot to see!!"

Then you get pts for the top 16 in qualifying. You could get points for winning each rd of class eleminations with a final win getting 1 extra point. There are many ways to gather points for performance. But we all know who would have to allow it and do it..

Just allot of ideas from a time gone by......

I've posted this before, but here it is again.

We need change the format for class racing.

Every event needs to have ONE round of qualifying, then go into class eliminations, that way everyone, even the "singles", gets a time shot in each lane.

Whether or not they leave the "combo" for one car classes in place, I'm neutral on. At least it would pay points for some of the singles.

Class should pay 20 points per contested round win. And an extra 20 for the class win, so the winner of the final round gets 40 points.

Qualifying should pay on a graduated scale from #1 to # 10, with #1 getting at least 20 points, but no more than 40 points.

A heads up win during final eliminations should pay double points for the round. Or a 20 to 40 point bonus.

A record, more than .75 under the index, should pay 100 points, if both ends of the record are set. The same car cannot get points for a record in the same class twice in a row. So you cannot set a record soft, and reset it several times for extra points. If you set it, it has to be reset by another car before you can get points for resetting it yourself.

That would return a lot of performance type racing to the class, without making it impossible for anyone but the fastest and best funded to win a race or a championship. With the AHFS, it would also push the bogus stuff toward correct factoring a lot faster.

We have never had a record reset, only retired and returned to a minimum...

If a record was set in the past and the car that set the record got HP, the record returned to the minimum....

In the past we also had to qualify for the World Finals by finishing in the top ten of our division....and we got points for records...

But that was then and this is now......

We have become the lowest common denominator of racing....

The records will be soft until a balance can be struck between the go fast guys, bracket style guys, NHRA and the money to fund sufficient technical inspectors to enforce the rules..

Just my opinion,
Bob

I like it!

Ed, I don't see that as a problem..
But it IS a problem that I'm not out there! I'm putting a lot more pressure on the shop. I want it done this season, not next. Been long enough!
