No flames here Darin , I like the way you think. Unfortunately , NHRA will not do anything that means more work for their already depleted staff. D-2 has low qualifier awards at their points meets sponsored by the Volkman family. I am sure you have seen the photos on here. A big SHOUTOUT to Michael, Emily , and Mattie Case Volkman. Perhaps you could find a sponsor out WEST ? Or one sponsor for stock and one sponsor for superstock? Back in the day IHRA gave the highest qualified car lane choice, no coin flip. I really like this idea but may too many ( ) racers would cry a river over this. It’s such an uphill battle to put the Performance back in stock / superstock racing. I would like to see every national event except Indy and the SPORTSnationals allow 85 cars to enter and qualify for 64 spots. 64 cars and no bye runs. Of course this would not work at Seattle and Sonoma. It’s unfortunate that this would not fly with NHRA because it doesn’t fit their business model, if they even have one ….LOL.
