stock and super stock racing

Car counts would plummet

Nice well thought out idea. You think people are slamming the brakes on at 1000' now, imagine how this would change things...

One problem would be with the proper teardown. West coast rules East coast rules ETC.
If you want to stop the guys running to the 1000' mark. It's simple, take out the 1000' clocks.
Nhra can't estimate what a combo should go based on the 1/8 mile numbers.
2 cars in the same class can run way different 1/8 mile numbers. But at the 1/4 mile be almost indentical.

Very simple. There are East coast rules, West coast rules. And the most important rules, The lawyer in your pocket rules.

The answer is very simple: if you run off records there won't be any racing except rich people! That's one reason why it was changed to index racing.

I can run 5 or 6 under with my Max wedge because I do it all on my own budget; the killers in the same class can run a full second or more under because they have sponsors and money, why would I want to continue racing?

In stock if NHRA did their job enforcing the rules. The high dollar guy would not have as much of an advantage.
