Re: It is time to change the Point System
 

Chip that is called an All Star race and it is held in Chicago each year. Only NHRA brings there best in each div not the top three like IHRA.
No National championship should be run in that form. A whole years worth of hard work could go down with a small parts brakeage or bad luck. There is nothing wrong with the current system. If you guys are worried about saving money and fairness just stay home, run a local bracket race or run with IHRA if you like there style.

NHRA SS/STK guys Bitc* all the time about getting crapped on but 99% of them pay there dues each year. I think most are ok with the current points system.

Don you have bigger fish to fry.

Then it would be just like days of old, top 5 from each division got to go to the world finals and who ever won was the World Champion!

Leroy that would be ok if it was 1958. Time have changed

Re: It is time to change the Point System
 

This idea is not about me ,I am smarter than that to spend all that money for virtually no return in chasing the points . this is my point there should be a fresher points chase system in todays economic environment that would be more fair to all including the touring pros

01 Jackie Alley 651 5/7
02 Peter Biondo 634 10/8
03 David Rampy 625 14/8

If the whole going to every race theory was true then what happened in SS? World Championships are not meant to be an easy task to accomplish. I think our system is perfect now because even if you go to every single race you can only claim 3 nationals and 5 divisionals. In my opinion points is not the problem it's the payout's. Pay 5k to the winner at a national event and tell me if the racing economy doesnt start to get better in NHRA.

Hey Chip did you hear NHRA just came out with an innovative idea to help save racers some money, they are going to have division double races on the same weekend. Man what a great idea!

Re: It is time to change the Point System
 

here is my 2 cents, it will never change and think about this, he or she that does run for a championship ends up spending more then you make up with the $ for championship and what the gold card will save you.
Death ears and no Don I wont let myself get into a a converstation about this with you, been there done that, like talking to a wall, lol.

Nitro said "he or she that does run for a championship ends up spending more then you make up with the $ for championship and what the gold card will save you".


that is exactely my point why does this have to be that way finacially .There could be a way that racers can chase the national Chanmpionship without costing a arm and leg >

Nitro if you don't like talking to a wall then don't lol

Re: It is time to change the Point System
 

Good Point about the payout but no one ever complains about the purse except to other racers

Re: It is time to change the Point System
 

If we're going to change the points system for Stock Eliminator and Super Stock, the changes should be to reflect the performance based nature of the classes.

We should be paying points for qualifying 1 thru 10, for class eliminations, for class wins, and for national records, we should also be paying bonus points for heads up wins in final eliminations.
