Evan, that's the FIRST rule change discussed on this thread that made any sense to me. Don and Jeff's ramblings sound like recess in 2nd grade..."I can't win so change the game to suit me!!" How many times do they have to explain it? The best 3 of the FIRST 6. Anyone who can attend 6 nationals has the same playing field as the guy that attends all 24.

Evan those are some great points on how to help fix the AHFS great suggestion. Now if other people could be more postive about trying to fix it rather than complaining all the time. The only disadvantage to the current points system would be were you live and how many races are close to you. So that solution would to be move.

Evan that makes too much sense. A lot of people on this forum want to take performance out of these classes. I started racing when we ran off the records and not some arbitrary index number and I liked it. It is supposed to be about performance.

Hey Ed, Bob deserves it!

Hey Ed, it does amaze me how NHRA seems to have taken up a "Hands Off" policy towards certain racers.

I wouldn't have a problem with Bob Shaw winning the championship. Do you? If he is the fastest so be it. Wouldn't be fun not using window art to win? People would still be trying to protect their combos but it may cost them a few wins. The ahfs would start having an effect after all these years.
