Ed what do you want class at every race?
Class @ 46% of all races and STK and SS are not locked out of any event. NHRA has never had more then 13 class races per year for SS or STK.

Not all Charlie,but since we're supposed to be a performance eliminator why shouldn't we be more show cased at national events.Seems I hear people saying we don't get enough exposure at national events.Class runoffs would give S/SS more recognition.

Having class eliminations on Saturday on a regular basis would provide a much better show for the spectators. But then, that would promote Stock Eliminator and Super Stock, which might make them popular classes with the spectators. We couldn't have that.

They would have to stay in the stands to watch. They leave when the fuel cars are done.

Alan running class on sat would be great for STK & SS, but let’s get real. NHRA can't run two rounds of pro qualifying in less than six hours how in the heck are you going to fit SS & STK class in there and keep the fans in their seats? NHRA fans on average only spend 3-4 hours in there seats watching the event, that leaves little time to watch anything but pros.
80% or more of the ticket buying fans are there to watch the pros not STK and SS or anything else.
