Default Re: Run Stock/Super Stock like Comp??

So, as I see the problem, we have a performance based class, where improving your performance can lead to penalties. Usually, the faster cars
are accused of having one of two things, a) Rich Owner b) Mechanically
intelligent owner. These seem to be the cars that get the most penalties.
Conversely, with the advent of the Index System, some people quickly
figured out the could build cars for obscure or low populated classes,
for a relatively reasonable amount of money, and be as competitive as
anyone. That sounds like a relatively reasonable approach to bring the
two groups together. The budget mined Racer can race with the best of them and have an equal chance to win. So a win for the budget or Mechanically challenged Racer. This helps maintain strong participation
in the class, as most can "Play". But, no reward for the Well To Do Owner,
or the Mechanically Gifted. Here is their reward. Leave everything the very
same as it is, with one exception. Qualifying no longer has AHFS. Period.
And Qualifying will Award Qualifier 1 thru 5 qualifying points. 1 gets 5, 2 gets four, all the way until # 5, who gets one. Don't worry, it won't really affect points races as much as it may appear. The better drivers have a better chance to get points in later rounds than the usual top qualifiers. I believe it makes things more interesting. If you have already posted an idea or response to an idea, please share your thoughts. If you haven't posted an idea or responded to one, don't criticize my idea until you post yours for me to critique. J.R.

Agree with incentivising and rewarding exceptional qualifying performance.
I'd be happy to see all, or none, of the qualifying passes count toward AHFS. Currently only the fastest qualifying run is used for averaging.
