Those 7 drivers would be paired up (somehow) and the difference in the indexes for their respective classes would dictate the amount of handicap start the slower class vehicle gets from the start. From there, first to the finish wins.

Then keep pairing up until there are only 2 vehicles left.

Am I understanding this correctly ?

You got it Alan, last man standing gets the trophy. Again this is just an example of "he who has the most $ to spend" will be the winner. At $165 a piece, NHRA can now save a bunch of money on trophys.
