Well now that the year has ended and "The Countdown" is completed, what are your thoughts of the way the champion is now chosen, the way it ended, anything?

It sucks.JUST do good enough to qualify for the cutoffs and who ever is the luckiest at the last few races wins.Case in point Jeggie and Pedegron.But thats NHRA for you.

It pretty much SUCKS. It should be a season long points battle. If you are not in the final group you may as well go home. No TV coverage unless you are in the final four. I would think the sponsors would not like it. They have the power to make changes. Not the racers. Just my opinion. Brian

Absolutly hate it!! To me a championship should be won by being consistently better than everyone else. You mess up once, your done!! Schumacher lost in the first round 12 times this year!!!!!!!!

They made themselves lap dogs to Nascar, and came up with phony champions.
