Reward performance. Pay Class winners Same as Eliminator or more. May need to limit number of classes,.STOP creating more classes for fewer cars which adds to bracket method of racing. Consider going to 32 SS and 32 Stock classes. Fit the structure by adjusting your combo for the good of the BIG picture.
Stop factoring by ADDING hp.
Adjust Over factored combos by REMOVING HP. (only till close then let racers make hp ) Use only Motor winning classes as standard then adjust.
Consider late versus early chassis factor(GT aerodynamic versus early BOX cars) for adjustment.
Cut index of all classes to make up for years of performance enhancing parts .
Lynn This would include Pontiac as they would decrease HP for cars which really dont win class till the HP is appropriate for parts available....

Bart.... The Money card is always there. Anyone can run eliminator but the question is are any of the classes cheap. What is cheap? Does NHRA owe it to everyone to make it cheap?make it for everyone?
