The NHRA could easily run Class Eliminations at any number of Divisional Events (with intent, not as an afterthought) throughout the year. Maybe at least one and maybe more in each Division. Just leave Indy alone, some things are sacred even to me!

How about a sportsnational (or several) in each division. No AHFS and teardown. We love going to Columbus. Wish there were more cars that attended.

Also wish that NHRA would stop adding classes. Way to many

Disappointing to see this happening. Just because I'm no longer racing doesn't mean I don't care about this anymore. I see lots of good ideas and comments. I haven't seen anything about bringing this up to the SRAC members. My Class Winner Wally's are some of my most cherished. I'm hoping this topic doesn't just die and blow away. I'm want to to read about plans for turning this around, would the SRAC be a place to start?

Its a shame, I attended my first national at Indy this year to try to win a class wally, i was close but missed. I have enough grade points I was planning on going to the Epping and maple grove nationals to run for class in stock an superstock if they did it that way again, I don't think I'll go out of my way to attend those races now, I'll definitly be going back to the dutch classic again this year though if theyre running class at those for a wally.

It feels like they're slacking on the Class Eliminations front. I miss having it at every National in Division 2.
