I liked it better in the '60s when we ran off records. The faster cars had an advantage, which I personally believe they should. Work your tail off to be faster should be worth something. ET brackets came along, and the slow guys went there. Car counts dropped dramatically. They pushed the easy button. Not everybody could run their class records. I won Stock at the one & only race at Corpus Christie (sp?) Texas, running a tenth off the record. I was the fast car there that afternoon.

When I started trying to do this again a few years ago, some of those guys are back.

It is way too much like a bracket race now.

• Make it a performance based class like it started out being. Not sure what the answer is...entice us to run our cars hard.
• $$$$ for #1 qualifier.
• $$$$ for setting a record and/or points.
• Put sticks and autos together.
• Put the new cars back into the regular classes. Have to factor them right though.
• If you hit the trigger 3 times in a period it's a hit (certain %) even if your average is below .85 under. If you hit it 4 times the % goes up and so on and so on.
• Take .5 off the indexes
• I love the idea of no AHFS in qualifying but not sure that would ever happen.

I can't wait to put a Hemi in mine.....I can run it hard but only go .80 under.......well lets hope.
