Double Bye Runs

Mike Schwartz · 07-21-2014, 01:59 PM

Do all bye runs in the first round if there is a odd/short field. From that point on, you should actually have to win races to advance. I hate seeing someone who qualified 56th earning a bye directly from a quarterfinal win straight through to the finals just because they inherited a quicker driver's scheduled bye.

Also, since NHRA is now eliminating through the quarterfinals on Saturday at some events, there can be as few as 2 meaningful races on Sunday in a class with a semifinal bye.
