Nationals bring in their own systems.
Track systems are used at Divisionals, where records can be set

Funny now that more people are effected, people suddenly care about unequal application of rules.

Is it just me or does anyone else have the feeling that this new rule was implemented as an unashamed attempt by the NHRA to try and renew some interest in Pro drag racing. For example, Pro Stock.

If that is the intent, I sure would not see that as a negative. If they are assigning points to records, and they make it easier to get one, I would think more pros would go for it. That could make for some more exciting runs for the fans.
I wish they assigned points for records in the sportsman performance classes. I think IHRA used to do that. That would make for interesting possibilities in some points battles.

Unless I am reading it wrong it looks like they are no longer giving points for setting an ET record. I wonder if this is not the real reason for the change.

You are reading it correctly; setting a National ET record will not earn any points.

No points for Sportsman records for several years now, right?

That probably explains the difference between the two. From the NHRA competition site: "Under this new policy, NHRA teams who post performances for elapsed time and speed that are quicker or faster than the existing national records at any time during any national event, will be eligible for the national record. The driver holding the record at the conclusion of the race will be credited with the record. As is currently the case with all national speed records and Alcohol elapsed time records, points will no longer be awarded for elapsed time national records." So no points for any records? To change the subject slightly are any tracks using the LED bulbs all the time, even for their weekly ET programs? Last edited by Bobby DiDomenico; 01-27-2016 at 09:26 AM. |
