Maybe it’s time to award performance instead of punishing people for it like going back to a pro ladder and giving the top 16 qualifiers 40 points for round 1 instead of 30 maybe this would get guys to run their stuff. No ahfs has brought excitement back to Indy class the way it should be!
Jeff, I put a performance proposal to nhra twice in the last 3 years. I talked about qualifying points , record points, points for class wins etc. Nhra said no to everything both times. I was also told they took my proposal to the racers who said foe to “go pound sand” were not doing that. So nhra told me you’re own competitors don’t want any performance based money or points. So I quit, I said f this. It’s really too bad racers in s performance class just want to bracket race and nothing else.
