Who decided to not do it that way now?
It can't be the TV deal on Thursday at Indy, is it?

This really isn't that hard. Everyone already knows who they're racing.
Make the call ..."A-H Stock stick..You run in 15 minutes"..Wait 5 minutes.."All remaining stick cars..15 minutes til tee time". 20 minutes after the call , you close the back of the lanes. No more stick cars allowed in. You snooze , you lose. Meanwhile they have called A-D/SA. Same deal.. After the stick cars start running, you pull back the rope and let the automatic cars in. A goes to lane 1, B to 2 ,etc.
All you need is for NHRA to care enough to do it.

Your last sentence says it all !
