It would not take anymore time, because if I run a SS/AM car they still have to wait for me to get off the track before they can run the next pair.

As long as fouls don't count in qualifying, the driver of the faster car can just leave any time he wants after the other green. For example, if I were trying to qualify the hypothetical SS/AM car, I wouldn't want to be sitting on the line for an extra five seconds for a meaningless 'race' with your SS/GS car, getting hotter and killing my ET.

To make qualifying more interesting, pair the cars closely by index, in reverse order, slowest to fastest. The spectators will know that the cars will keep getting faster as the session progresses and they will want to stay in their seats to the end so they don't miss the most exciting cars. Also, post a bounty for low ET of each session and track the best time on the scoreboard.

I doubt you will get people to line up according to their ET for qualifying. LOL

Art,
I've been saying that for years, would add a lot to the time runs.

I would like to see them combine sticks and automatics, and run all the classes - no combos.

The tilt of the playing field (NHRA) and bring it back to level. I have not raced at IHRA or ADRL so I don't know what I would change if anything.

I would like to see the equipment manufactures start to support Stock/Super Stock classes like they should. Eliminate a must have proof factor for their Contigencies and eliminate the must purchase within the last year or two to be elgible for class money or the Eliminator money, the sport is very expensive to be in, and to require a racer to update all his equipment to be elgible to win contigency monies is way out of line. Conceivably you could win a National or Divisional an only receive the Nhra purse. The manufactures need to step up and pay us direct and not let NHRA control there sponsor funds.....just my 2 cents
