This solution fixes the problem
64 car field at national events with 80ish car quota. Put the performance back in the class. But what about the people that don’t qualify after a few DNQ they will quit coming. Who gives a sh!t about those people. work on you combo or build a More economical slower class car that’s better on index. It’s a performance based class not bracket 1. Right now there are plenty of racers that will fill that spot at national events.
All Nationals events 64 car field but Indy stays 128
points meets stay at 128 car field
national opens all run.
Right now SS/STK is a performance based class with no reward for performance.

O one side affect from this the AHFS will actually work because people can't sand bag in qualifying if they want to race, they actually will haft to work and run cars all out to qualify for a national event, what a concept.
Pretty simple. NHRA makes more money on entry's, its takes a little of the bracket racing style out of the class and all nationals events are 6 rounds so TV time is not messed with.[/QUOTE]

This is a triple WIN, WIN, WIN solution and I can't believe there's no traction or discussion, why is NHRA so ignorant!
I brought this up about 8-10 years ago and lately, Darrin G has been on it as well so people have definetly seen or heard of the idea.
For the racers that will tire of not qualifing for the 64 car field, well, we see them come back to Indy every year for the exact same thing.
