Cut the Nitro and "Alcohol" fields down to 8 cars? Limit nitro cars to 70% and alcohol cars to methanol only? Anything to stop this bye+blow-up stuff. Denver had something like one actual race in the first round of TF/FC.

As a spectator, it amazes me how the pace picks up after the Pro ranks run. The second pair of Comp cars has finished their burn outs when the first pair hits the stripe.

But that's an NHRA thing. Silly me...
