Supposedly doubling the contingency payout at the other 4 (another untruth). Getting rid of class singles. Now all the singles have to run each other index to index, first one there wins (I'm sure Michael Beard really built that car so he could run DP's and CJ's without the benefit of a breakout.)
They supposedly offer a national class performer award for the most wins in the stick and auto classes in each eliminator. With the best 3 out of the first 5 events counted.
Since it's inception there hasn't been a thing posted or printed about it except that they changed the rules (a week before the race) that 1 of the sportsnationals could be used for the points total.
I think I covered it. Anything I missed?

Maybe because it's tax season, but I can't help but compare NHRA to the IRS. They try to get as much money as they can from you, then make things so complicated that it's hard to figure out if or how you'll get any of it back! They just can't keep it simple and consistent.
