Something I noticed at Memphis

This is why we should have heads up for all stock and super stock cars during practice. 2-3 days of practice is not necessary.

Watch the stands fill up like the NMCA races on Friday and Saturday night. Stocker shoot out on Friday night, SS shoot out on Sat night, regular eliminator on Sunday just like we have now. It would have zero effort, no changes, be way more fun. Dick, I havent seen you get behind this?? Not heads up for a select few, but heads up for everyone instead of practice.

why not run both sat night, with the first round counting as last Q pass (just like class elim's). How would you pair them up?

Agree Chad, what ever is the best way. However, I was looking maybe to fill the stands Fri for Stockers, then fill the stand SAT night for SSers. We gotta get the track owners excited about it too! Even come up with additional pay for the tech guys.

If NHRA doesnt want to support it, hell we do it ourselves. What is so hard in showing up to practice A-Z? If someone doesnt want to co-operate, then fine. No biggie. If there is no one left to run in your class, run heads up against your index. If NHRA doesnt want to stagger.....fine we use our 5-cent CPU(pencil) again to determine the winner.
