Re: Proposal and NHRA and IHRA Responses
Just for fun, I sent another follow-up email to Mr. Light about this. Never heard back during the offseason.......

Re: Proposal and NHRA and IHRA Responses
Glen Gray is a good guy but overwhelmed and IMO this shouldn't be a tech group issue.
As a manufacturer rep I proposed similar points for qualifying ideas to Josh Peterson. I think some version of this has been batted around by NHRA brass for at least 4 years. There is no sportsman racing business manager that this should probably go through and I think it's easy for it to fall through the cracks. I wish you luck, I think it's a good idea and I'd like to see it.

Re: Proposal and NHRA and IHRA Responses
Ed, I like your ideas.
Looking at the latest ND and I can't find a records page. Looks like they have gone backwards again. Pete |

At the very least run qualifying off of the class indexes so spectators see the cars, except the 1000' lifts, close at the finish line. |

Re: Proposal and NHRA and IHRA Responses
I've said for years that time trials should be ran off the index's. Not only make more sense to the casual fan but as a driver get more seat time with finish line closing ratios. Cost nothing! I see zero downside to it
