After talking to many people in the pits, I'm hard pressed to find people who disagree that points should be awarded for qualifying position and records. Stock and Super Stock are performance-based classes after all. How about some incentive to "let it all hang out"? How about some incentive to set a record and have it torn apart?

I'm not talking about someone winning a division because they have a fast car but how about 10 points for #1 qualifier, 5 for #2, and 3 for #3. How about we set the record "minimum" to .75 under and award 10 points per record? I'm sure some rules would have to be in the place like you can't reset your own record within the year. Ultimately, I think giving people an incentive to be #1 or #2 qualifier will help the AHFS do it job more efficiently.

I don't think either is unrealistic and they give people a real reason to put the car on kill and see if they can put it on the top spot. Also, I'm sure the record books would start to fill up again.

Any thoughts? Suggestions?
