Mr. Teuton, sorry to contradict your statement; however NHRA hasn't been trying to add more, they have been taking away! Less teardown, poor tech and not to mention their precious dinner reservations has shortened the raceday length into almost laughable. Most National Event car counts wouldn't need but one or two rounds to finish the class race; however more than a dozen times this year I seen three or four qualifying runs at National Events with low counts. I would say give one Qualifying hit then right into Class on Thursday, teardown on Friday. Like I said this might cut into " some peoples" dinner reservations, although IHRA doesn't mind running late and getting it in for the racers. The first round of class could count as Q2 and this would also make playing the ladder more difficult for some. I know we have 3 Sports Nationals now and that's cool as all H*#L, can't wait to go to my first one, still not enough! Hopefully somebody @ NHRA cares as much about this subject as we do. C U @ Bellerose.
