Re: Preliminary NMCA Stock/Super Stock (S3)Compo Rules 2017
So ...you run your car within 1 tenth of flat out in TT... Then you have that tenth in the bank for a heads- up runs .. correct ?...Interesting

Here's what I see: One A/SA goes 10.60 Another one goes 10.50. They meet..The dial-in is 10.40. The slower one goes 10.50 ,with a good light. The other one goes 10.39. He loses. Brake (break) -out in effect.

Probably to discourage heavy braking at the stripe and sandbagging during qualifying.

Re: Preliminary NMCA Stock/Super Stock (S3)Compo Rules 2017
Why not just run heads up with no breakout?

I also see it being confusing to some racers. It might somewhat alter the qualifying strategy for some racers, or then again it may not. Will the fastest in class still qualify using full throttle knowing he has everyone else covered, and that there is no way he would run 1 tenth quicker during eliminations so therefore he can run flat out during eliminations ( in a same class pairing) and not worry about breaking out ? I say probably. That's the way I see it

My recommendation would be to use IHRA Classes and Indexes. You'll solve about 75% of problems, in advance, keeping the Older Carburetor cars separated from the Newer Fuel Injected cars. I would also combine sticks and autos into the same class.

Re: Preliminary NMCA Stock/Super Stock (S3)Compo Rules 2017
Bob, I believe they are trying to keep performance as a major factor, but at the same time, giving the good drivers a chance to survive such a situation.
People are still going to hold a bit back, as they do now. Actually, It's not a bad system, IMHO .Whoever thought it up deserves credit for thinking outside of the box. Relax, some of you. I'm not advocating that NHRA should adopt this system.
