NHRA Fastest 128 cars

[Dick Butler]

Jack, If you mean by "free pass" a car which wins class on a BYE run. Agreed but maybe set a quota or 3 or 4 cars for the class winner but He or she deserves to be in eliminator. Only reason the fastest 128 would help is IF AHFS would be able to use the runs on one meet an correct Hp quicker.
Ed, Good point....

[Mike Pearson]

Probably just a prelude to the total elimination of class competition. Remember when they ran class at all of the natl events. Just too much racer input and complaining. I cant remember when there was as many knee jerk rule changes as we have seen in the past several years. Seems like there making changes just for change sake. Now we have the sportsman advisory council. I cant wait to see what they come up with. Hopefully their enhancements are better than what we have seen lately. I vote to leave the rules alone for a while and just race.

Ed -- Good point but if they (front drive cars) could run 1.10 under they were going to get into the field either way .Me -- if that happened I'd turn the wick up ......

Dick -- yes -- I was talking about BYE runs .The AHFS is in effect during Q-runs - it will help even things out.

Mike -- Wally started things with class runoffs -- they will never go away ! When we had class runs at every national event there were only a handful of nationals.

PS--You guys gotta slow down--my typing isn't that fast .

Hey Stefan,

I have one of those so called paper cars. I enjoy very much running the other papers cars. Come to think of it, all the cars listed in the NHRA classification guild are all paper cars. Correct me if I am wrong, but you can't race a car in NHRA unless you put it on paper first.

Paper, man you got to love it.

I hope this helps Stefan.

LMAO Yo Ken, youre the best...

[Jack Matyas]

Yo Ken -- Paper / Rocks / Scissors .....who cares? Lets just race .............


PS-- Don't have it today but when we had a "98 LT1 " paper car my thoughts were that GM built it and NHRA accepted it to race so...........

[Jim Wahl]

Hey Jack, RE: '98 LT1, GM never built it......NHRA did! Jim

[Jack Matyas]

Jim --You're right -- I've never seen one but the point is that Pontiac said they were OK to race and that's all that is necessary -- I never asked for this combo -- Pontiac wanted it ..........


PS-I gotta stop foolin around on this forum and get my butte back to work ! ! ! ! !

As someone who ran super stock at Indy from 72 to 83 ,then stock from 83 to 2003.I think some of you are not thinking this thou.....

NHRA at Indy should be class racing winner gets in.....Wally's turning over in his grave.

Now I see 50 97-2000 firebirds & camaro running in Elims. 20 a& b/sa ,too

How much longer before they put ss & stk together and run a bracket race with 1 qiulf run and then just fill in like they do now....so If your car goes 1.15 under so what who did you beat ? not a other car in your class.
That's what Indy,gator ,summer and wintrnationals should always be.....

I may not be good at writing what I want to say, but I hope you get my point.......
