Should Indy be an All Run Field in Stock?

Understood.

The profit percentage per car is the same, so NHRA makes the exact same amount of money on the factory race cars regardless of what class they enter. The new class does not cost NHRA money. In fact, with a new class, NHRA makes more money.

I am not sure that is exactly true. Entry fee and payout are a small percentage of the math when it comes to a National.

Well, the manufacturers, for their expenditure, would get a class that showcases their cars. So, it would be to their advantage.......A lot of the Hemi cars do not bother to run eliminations. The Hemi cars do not get a free pass on AHFS hits, either.

The problem with this argument is that with the Hemi Shootout, Mopar is guaranteed that a Mopar will win, so it is good for the brand. In an FX class there will always be two losers out of three. I can't see why any manufacturer would be jumping to spend advertising money on that kind of ROI opportunity. I think that contingency would be a much safer choice.

I figured so much. That is why I called it silly.

Some on here love to blast the NHRA management on this subject. What I have seen isn't that far out compared to a lot of large American corporations.

I would add that humor of that kind would be a deal breaker in any corporate meeting.

So Gump why not have an All chevy class or all ford class?

Actually, they already have that stuff over at the NMCA/NMRA.

REMEMBER WHEN YOU SAID THIS:



After being on here for about 10 years and over 3,000 posts I've come to the end of the line trying to put any ideas/opinions across.
The fine art of debate is dead and buried.The country/world has become so polorized that there is no more common ground.Everybody has their own agenda and no amount
of convincing will change it.You see it here on Class Racer in the S/SS and Lounge areas every minute of every day.
My personal solution is to just read the posts on here and just resist the temptation to respond when I agree or disagree.
The eagerness to go racing in 2011 has been sucked from me by a lack of funds and
the extra "enhancements" both here now and coming.I' have a little project car to keep me busy till things improve financially and racing wise.
I hope there will be a sport to come back to that will welcome lower level participants.
I guess the final straw is the fact that it seems the consensus seems to be that we don't
need to know who is in charge of determining our racing destiny and the lack of finding out.
We're just supposed to be led down the road without question,leaving our money and
spirit behind us.
Well,I'm tired of this ***** and I'm voting with my almost empty wallet.
I have about 5,000 more things on my mind but I'm worn out from snow removal duty.
Ken,if you think this post is too negative for your taste you're welcome to zap it.

I guess you should remember the same line!
