Rules for Class Championship on NHRA

If they don't like singles, stop separating the stick and auto's!

“As times have changed, the changes that were made to the Class Eliminations program last year is what allowed it to continue,” said Scooter Brothers, chairman of the SEMA Board of Directors and chief operating officer, Comp Cams. “It is now a more viable program for the manufacturers and it allows these companies to find a reason to get involved.”

I am glad the "more viable program" allowed these companies to "find" a reason to get involved. I may even "find" a reason to keep doing business with some of the companies that have done the most bi*&hing about contigency payouts. But I doubt it.

At least the points are equal now.

The best thing that could happen is if everybody running an AUTOMATIC switched to a STICK-problem solved. Wouldn't it be cool to see guys like Fletcher, Biondo, DeFrank etc. banging gears...just a thought...lol

Toby, page 7, under my 'Wishes' thing, No 2 is that Toby Lang would show me how to do stuff like that. Is that what you call an upload? And yes, all my grandkids are gone for now (13, ages 13 yrs to one month). I didn't see anything about the payments, but I know Scooter was trying to advance the program. Singles now get the same points.

If there are 2 cars in a class,the winner gets 85 points.

If there are 16 cars in a class,the winner gets 85 points.

Glad I am not a class contender,because that doesn't seem logical.

In the event of a rain out the winner gets full points, what about the others? If none, would one rain out win provide a huge lead?

Sounds like if you want to win the title you need to build two oddball cars that run the same oddball class That way you race your two cars against each other get max points run all the races that have class and you would have a perfect score.

There really needs some kind of small points added per round won to make it more fair.

Just my opionion.
