I actually think the fans love huge handicaps for the record. If we make a class with all the same cars we will look more like Super Comp.

I am a well know abuser of working hard on slow cars but class sure gained a lot of fun when parity was shown when a good slow car was brought to the table. I'm not referring to my under factored truck or any of the other vehicles that have received major gifts, but cars that have had serious effort put into them.

The system will work if there was more INCENTIVE.
Points for records
Points for qualifying position
Even the defunct national performer award. I took horsepower to win that more than once.
Make a 64 car qualified field and leave Indy 128.

1. If you are torn down for a 1.20+ pass, and everything checks, and the run is also under the National record NHRA should give you the National record.
2.Split the qualifying into two calls, one for slower cars and one for faster cars..Handicap qualifying runs using the index, little better show for the fans.
3. Entry fee should include at least one crew pass, or at least a discount since when most of us get eliminated we go home-don't stay for the whole event yet crew fee pass assumes we stay.
