You know, like Top Stock, first car across the finish line wins?
Your head start comes from the index, no dial ins. First or worst red light.
Now that would be performance based. Anything else is dial in, just that the guys with the slower class cars get shafted because they are the only ones running heads up....
That was done in the mid 70's and it didnt work....the same 2 or 3 cars (racers) won all of the events. One was a dollar ninety eight 63 Pontiac station wagon in Super Stock. How would you like being out HP factored against your $100,000 + Cobalt? Stock was no better.

Is that Jack Mullins you are talking about?

In "My Opinion" :

Several "Changes" from NHRA helped save Stock and Super Stock racing .

The implantation of The Index system to create a level playing field.

The almost perfect altitude correction factor to the indexes to help level the playing field

The implantation of The GT classes in Super Stock to create some new classes race on Sunday sell on Monday

The involvement of the factories in the GT Classes when the "new " GT classes were started

The automatic factoring system overhaul to help level the playing field

Allowing the hemis cars to have their own class to create some excitement of fans of these cars

Having Chrysler and Ford be involved in Stock and Super Stock to insure the future of Super Stock and Stock racing with factory backing .


I am sure there are others these just came to my mind of which all have came from NHRA to create a level playing field for their customers . If anyone wants to belittle my comments or call me names or disagree simply e-mail me and at donkennedy1@cox.net . this way would be more effective for you lol

But if you can discuss in a Manner that shows you have some class simply discuss the subject in a civil way Post on this web site .

Thanks
Don

wow 12,000 hits and very little intelligence wasted on the posts...

billy nees is right...99% of enhancements havent helped him (or me)
terry bell is right...class winners should get to race, if only them so be it... more odd cars !

and once again nhra doesnt care...so YAC is right !

sounds like a broken record... just like me for over 5 years...
Automatic Help For Slugs CAN NOT and WILL NOT ever work...we manipulate the input #
and lower the indexes -.50 > why toby lang ? how many people would watch baseball if the wall was at 150 feet ? since the enhancements the game is STUPID easy !

just had to post on this thread... too much fun here !

Agree! Lets more people participate than running off records.

Except that it doesn't correlate to AHFS!

Agree!

Agree!
The automatic factoring system overhaul to help level the playing field
Agree! Beats the hell out of arbitrary HP hits but not really leveling the playing field, more like necessary method for policing new combos.
Allowing the hemis cars to have their own class to create some excitement of fans of these cars
No comment, doesn't concern me.
Having Chrysler and Ford be involved in Stock and Super Stock to insure the future of Super Stock and Stock racing with factory backing.
Absolutely Agree! BUT NHRA has to stop with the *** kissing!

It's hard to disagree with your list Don but you're brushing with pretty broad strokes!
