"Put the Mod cars in Comp" Thanks Jim for beginning to recognize the post was not about your FWD car. Now I hope you will recognize part of the 128 car field deal is in response to the low cars count in classes where popularity numbers in the COUNTRY is low making Class at a Nationals almost always a bye or not run at all. Maybe the thought should be how to allow those guys a method of running in a populated class too so the 128 car deal or the Bye run winner deal wont keep them on the side lines on Sunday. Then when the Class winners are all accepted in Elim as a prize for being Class winner, the other people cannot complain about being excluded because of a bye run class. Remember EVEN if there were only 50 classes to run there could still be 128 spots.Everyone could still get in if qualifying higher but losing class. Thanks

For Christs sake. Leave the eliminators alone. Stop blaming nhra for all our "enhansments". As you can see here. "WE" are probably responsible for most of them. A sarcastic post gets to be a snowball rolling down hill. Lets see. The for next post I should suggest "to run methanol instead of gas" because of the gas crisis. I'm sure some of you would jump on that bandwagon too. GIVE IT A BREAK LEAVE IT ALONE.

Hey, can I have my own sarcastic suggestion? The NHRA should buy a Stocker and Super Stocker in every class and cart them along to all the national events that run class. That way if a racer shows up and is the only car in his own class, have a random tech guy jump in and give him some competition not just a single. If the racer wins, he's in. If they lose the heads-up then they either have to be quick enough to qualify or just go home.
I think they did something like that on Pinks when a competitor was a no-show.

C'mon Ed, as some chick working at the souvenir trailer said to me: "You gotta do Indy at least once".
