With all the different classes and rules, even people who are otherwise car savvy, have a really hard time grasping the whole concept.
It can be solved by going back to the way it was in the 60s when I started racing. Run class all heads up then the winner of each class runs in a handicap for overall eliminator. It worked well before and can work again It will make more racers whos cars are not up to par work on them to improve there performance and if they don't want to they can go bracket racing. NHRA has made class racing just glorified bracket racing as it is now. The fans will understand what they are watching. And most racers will be happy.
