I do, however, remember the year my father-in-law's car "qualified" about 125th but didn't get to race after the bump-ins (mostly single car class winners) were added. Needless to say he was quite frustrated.

I don't get a vote but if I did, my preference would be that the quickest 128 cars qualify.

Class winners don't "bump-in". They WERE in. NHRA even worded it that way in the payout section for Nat'l events: "128 car field max (Class winners + low ET qualifiers)". Class winners are IN; the field was filled with the quickest cars (against Index) that did not win Class.

Your father-in-law didn't get ''bumped'' by a Class Winner. He got bumped by a quicker, non-Class winning car.
