Jesse, thanks for your thoughtful response.

Does anyone know where these rules are posted? They're not in the new 2016 Rulebook.

The new format seems to be a better way for GM, Ford and Chrysler/Fiat to showcase their new cars, so we know they're happy! But it does make things a bit confusing, at least for me! To wit:

Is the Quick 8 a "race within a race within a race"? Will there still be a "Factory Showdown" at these selected events?
Will the FS/XX and FS/X entries who don't qualify for the "Quick 8" run the "Factory Showdown" or will they be allowed to make adjustments and run their "normal" Factory Stock class. If everyone is correct, there will be 8 less FS/XX entries running in the "Showdown".
How does the NHRA allocate points for the FS/XX and FS/X entries? If they're only running 4 times-a-year, how do they make-up the points they don't earn in their "normal" FS/-classes during the regular season races?

The "Quick 8" seems to be a great marketing tool, for both the NHRA and the manufacturers! The new TV coverage on Fox Sports should really be able to play this up!

The only question I have are they going to run the quick 8 to completion both Saturday and Sunday, or rounds each day, or only run the final round on Sunday?
