Greg,

I would like to propose to run heads up in practice rather than boring 3-4 time runs. If NHRA doesn't want the hassle, then couldn't we just all line up together for practice? If a guy doesn't really care about it, and just wants to work on his bracket racing, then line up and run anyway, nothing really changes. If there is no one in his class, then it is a heads up race against the index against the guy in the next lane. If NHRA doesn't want to fool with the dial in, then we do it on a 5 cent CPU(pencil) and a piece of paper for the winner.

I cant believe that everyone wants to run 3 or 4 practice runs over 2-3 days. How boring we have gotten in our old age? Let us take charge of our own fun, and quit waiting for everyone else to do it for us. Maybe it wouldn't work for National Events, but points races would be way more fun. Sponsors might even show up for it.

Yes! I've requested the same thing for D5. Haven't taken it to the Council though. Great idea.

On top of these great ideas make sure the ICard is a priority also.

I talked to a member of the counsil this week at a local Bracket event. He told me that they are currently working on 3 items.

1) Having ALL Classes back at National Events

2) Getting a 'freebie' Oil Down like the Pro's get

3) Getting ICard back

Perhaps there is more, but those are the ones he told me about.

I can think of 100 things with a higher priority than I card.Clue me in,what's so important about it.
