They should at least pair them up by class for 2nd qualifier and give class win to fastest winning car. |

NHRA has forgotten the part they struggle with the most at Indy.....Parking! Maybe the crew from Glendora will fly in and do it ? With the current schedule, they may have to cancel parking as well.
You know there is a model that works as an alternative to class at Indy. Just like the Baby Gators. It would work. Pick a points meet to have the “Indy class runoff’s” They could even grant an AHFS hall pass. Then just get it done.

I understand completely, however, it the choice is class runoffs or no class runoffs....an alternative that allows us to race class is better than not having it at all.

No Pete, it’s not on you. Unfortunately with this organization at times, the LEFT hand doesn’t know what the RIGHT hand is doing.....I have one of those ELEPHANT memories also......

We used to say that we didn't race our cars on paper, well, NHRA changed that. Now the fastest car in class will get the trophy and contingency. So if you make a really fast pass in your class, then break, you get the class win.
Racing is racing, but now it's going to be a paper win. Casey Miles Stock |
