Re: if wally was'nt dead this woulda killed him
As I said in the other thread, even if I was a fast car I'd still want the class eliminator winners to get a guaranteed spot in the show just in case I was chasing a problem that particular weekend. It would give me one last shot to get in.
Class eliminations are now pointless. I'd love to hear somebody make a logical argument as to the reasoning behind continuing to have class eliminations because I can't think of one. Class eliminations are now nothing more than side show, just like the extra races that many of us compete in at the division races (S/SS shootouts and the like).
All this is going to do is make it easy for NHRA to make the decision to no longer contest class eliminations and save themselves a bunch of money at races where class eliminations are run (which is not a paltry amount of money at $500 times 100 or so classes, not to mention the cost of the trophies and time saved).
If single car class winners was the problem, then why not eliminate the single car classes, and combine them into another class?
As I said before, I don't have a dog in this fight, but it seems to me that you guys are soon going to be better off running Comp...
