The Present Points system to win the World Championship need

[Bill Grubbs]

So.....Someone who has a perfect season, with the exception of a "Special Race", can loose to a person...who quite possibly never won a race the entire year...and was not even a division winner.

Yah.....No!!!

Yeah what Don said and laid out is almost exactly what IHRA did in it’s waning days. Didn’t wanna go down that route but I’ll go ahead anyway, yes I won an IHRA world points championship running the way NHRA does now,(and felt like I earned it!)
then I also won a world championship as Don describes. they took the top three out of every division, and anyone that had won a national event, and we all had a big race at the end of the year and I believe the first one might’ve been Rockingham and then later in Memphis, I came out of the number three slot in the division, and won that race, it made me a world champion. I really didn’t feel like it. of course I took the money and all the glory, but it just wasn’t the same and I feel sorry for all those that had collected way more points. I gotta agree with bill Grubbs.
It’s not the way to have a championship when you could win and not win a single race, while someone else had a near perfect season but loose in the winner take all race.

So Basically a racer in order to win the world Championship has to go to at least 14 races a year ,spend appx $50,000 to $150,000 to win the Purse for Stock at $10,000 and Super Stock at $15,000 . The Purse that NHRA offers is a joke and my point is that NHRA needs to adress this regardless of how Much Money a racer has or spends > If i were NHRA I would be embaressed about the purse structrue for Stock and Super Stock and it seems not too many of us try to get the purse increased by even talking to The decision Makers at NHRA That is one of my points we need to be more professionally vocal with NHRA .

Yes.

....spend appx $50,000 to $150,000....

WOW! Where do you get those numbers? I currently budget around $17,000.00 per car to run the NHRA points. That is entry fees, diesel, and hotels.

Where does the new money come from?

[Don Kennedy]

,I am including the the total investment divided by the number of races to go to to make a run for the World chamionship racing operation to go to 14 races to win the purse is what i mean to say. There just needs the Racers reps to bring up the low purse concerns to NHRA

Hey, let me in on your source for free cars, free race fuel, free slicks, free motor oil, spark plugs, and engine freshen ups. And that's not all. But you have to have all of that covered before entry fees, diesel, and lodging is even necessary.




"New money" could come from NHRA reducing their unnecessary management costs, like a lot of major corporations are doing.

The division champion and the runner up can go to the Shoot out This solves the high costs of having to travel to over 14 races We are sportsman not travling pros is best to know in My opinion
