Weird idea for qualifying

Kdw1403 · 12-28-2019, 12:27 PM

It would be nice to have some sort of incentive to run flat out. Maybe all top 20 qualifiers get a small points bonus of some sort. Maybe #1 could also get a hat or something. I’m sure some hat company could donate a box of hats if nhra didn’t want to provide them.

How about getting a sponsor to pay a lot of money to number one qualifier>Would this be an incentive to run

fast ???

Number 1 qualifier is immune from ANY ahfs. If you think you have what it takes then let it fly and hope someone else isn't just a little faster. Then put cash in the pot for number 1

I was not aware #1 immune from AHFS. I used to do it, if we had an odd number of cars, for the first round bye. Caught so much crap over it, I stopped. Guess others were not aware either. I just keep mine slowed down now. Doesn’t seem like racing.
More like ET brackets, which is not really racing.

90 points for #1 could actually have an impact on some championships too, but I like the idea a little more than trying not to be too fast or effect your average

Why not give points based on your qualifying order in reverse order:; in 50 car field no 1 gets 50 pts no2 gets 49 pts etc etc no 50 qualifyer gets 1 point. This would encourage people to try and qualify better. Don't seem like it would be too hard to keep up with.

I was not aware of no AHFS either for the #1 qualifier. Interesting.

Kdw1403 · 12-28-2019, 09:49 PM

I like giving points to the #1 qualifier.

Top qualifier's at Div.5 points races you would get a hat,and a sponsor would kick in $100.And they would post a pic of the three low qualifier's in STK,SS,COMP in ND.Now the only "prize" at a Nat.event would be a possible trip to the barn...gsa612
