Factory Stock Showdown Earning National Event Points? - Page 2

What Dave said plus NHRA needs to fix this. 85 points X 3 for performer awards awards OK but not for national points.

How can we compete against them (points) when we don't even race against them in the eliminator!?!? Everyone that actually tries for points should be up in arms about this. We all spend a ton of money and expect things to be as even as possible so we all have a fair shot at the championship or top ten.

Don't look now but Mr. Barton just took a huge leap in points today. A few more good divisionals and he could be your 2016 Stock Champ. Totally ridiculous move by NHRA. I keep waiting for the "April Fools".

I have very mixed emotions about this issue but one thing I'm sure of and like very much is the fact that if Mr.Barton wins the World Championship this year it will be the first time since the seventies that the championship has been won based on performance and not a bracket format .And surely no one will argue that he has an edge on the rest of the field at this moment .

Stock Eliminator should remain as it has been. Shoot Out is an evolving eliminator and is nowhere near it's final format. What the final format will be, nobody knows. It has changed every year since the first Shoot Out. Presently only blown cars can play. Each year it is different; blown, unblown, spot set, spot calculated, mixed with Stock, not mixed with Stock, so points for Stock earned in eliminator only is my vote. However Shoot Out should have it's own rewards which presently is a moving target, but some reward for the Shoot Out. I think most of the rewards now are from the Manufacturer and not much from NHRA. Like I said, evolving. We will continue to sit it out and watch for now.

I wish I could get 85 points for winning 3 rounds. This is joke and a slap in the face to the other racers that actually run in STOCK ELIMINATOR. The rest of us must run 5-6 round races to gain the same amount of points.

Who's bright Idea at NHRA was this?

Nothing against Barton his domination in the first three races really shows how hard he has worked at it. But they should have there own separate points championship just for FX.
