Well now that the year has ended and "The Countdown" is completed, what are your thoughts of the way the champion is now chosen, the way it ended, anything?

It sucks.JUST do good enough to qualify for the cutoffs and who ever is the luckiest at the last few races wins.Case in point Jeggie and Pedegron.But thats NHRA for you.

It pretty much SUCKS. It should be a season long points battle. If you are not in the final group you may as well go home. No TV coverage unless you are in the final four. I would think the sponsors would not like it. They have the power to make changes. Not the racers. Just my opinion. Brian

Absolutly hate it!! To me a championship should be won by being consistently better than everyone else. You mess up once, your done!! Schumacher lost in the first round 12 times this year!!!!!!!!

They made themselves lap dogs to Nascar, and came up with phony champions.

According to what I've found in Competition Plus and Nitromater, looks like the only person that won under both formats was Matt Smith in Pro Stock Bike. According to the old format,
Rod Fuller would have clinched before Pomona Robert Hight would have won Funny Car at Pomona Greg Anderson would have won Pro Stock at Pomona So with the old format three of the four classes would have gone to Pomona without a clinched champion so we really didn't need the new format to drum up drama at Pomona. I think I feel the worst for Robert and JFR. How great would that have been to win the championship after the awful year that team had to endure. There wouldn't have been a dry eye in the house.
