How crazy would it be.....
 

if the NHRA went back to running off of National Records in Stock and SS? No more indexes, no more AHFS.
Any Racer who goes faster than the record or minimum becomes the record holder and don't even tear them all down! All that they can do is hurt themselves and others in their class. Go ahead, go as fast as you want! I've got more than a couple of bodies laying around.
And yes, I have taken my meds this morning.

Not exactly relevant to the thread topic, but wouldn't it be fun if D1 did a quick 8 in STK/SS and ran it like a Comp Eliminator race? They already do a run-off with the top qualifiers in SG/SC/SST. I think a top 8 run-off in STK and SS would be badass. I would absolutely watch that from the grandstands. They could even make it part of the track's event so AHFS wouldn't be in play for the run-off itself. The one they tried to do at class racer nats was easily the highlight of my viewing experience this year.

No Problem did that years ago, it was a fun race. Your dial in was your index, first to the finish was the winner. And like Comp, your index would be adjusted for the next round based by how far under you ran.

We could also go back to the way HP factoring was done.
Congratulations on your new National Record! Here's 10 HP!

That would be my evening meds.

That idea would be idiotic today as it was back when they did it that way. First off there is no record in most classes just a minimum that is set off the indexes that we have today. Secondly that would kill both of the classes. I like racing but there is no way I would travel to the divisional races where I have absolutely no chance to win or go rounds. Most would feel the same way.
