I doubt you will get people to line up according to their ET for qualifying. LOL

It would not take anymore time, because if I run a SS/AM car they still have to wait for me to get off the track before they can run the next pair.
Art,
I've been saying that for years, would add a lot to the time runs.

I agree with you, it brings some excitement back.

I would like to see jeff Teuton live to be 106 and still be racing.For his seed to be used to birth another 100 like him.(artificially of course don't want to wear the old guy out) And for Bo Kenny to have his Amex card taken away from him.Me I would just like to race more and win something that would be a big change.
Finally however I would like to see IHRA bring back the Pros( and Top Stock) and the racing they had about 5 years ago when we had some of the most fun you could ever have at a track and the nationals were packed.

I would like to see an overhaul of the NHRA structure. Get rid of the whole lot move them to Indy or someplace out of California. Put Pat from no-problem in as the head cheese. Find a way for the right people to pay for the insurance at nationals so the sportsmen don’t have to pay to cover the fuel cars being there. Get some tech people that are allowed to do their Job. Actually go by the rule book instead of changing the rules to meet what the cheaters have been doing. Do some work to the AHFS so it actually works. Tear down of cars before HP is given would be a good start. Also I would suspended anyone found complaining about so and so getting them HP. Since in my system before the car got HP it would have been torn down and found legal. So obviously if it was capable of going too fast so it needed adjusted. That would be a good start.

I would like to see the equipment manufactures start to support Stock/Super Stock classes like they should. Eliminate a must have proof factor for their Contigencies and eliminate the must purchase within the last year or two to be elgible for class money or the Eliminator money, the sport is very expensive to be in, and to require a racer to update all his equipment to be elgible to win contigency monies is way out of line. Conceivably you could win a National or Divisional an only receive the Nhra purse. The manufactures need to step up and pay us direct and not let NHRA control there sponsor funds.....just my 2 cents

5th round would have been the finals in two out of the five divisionals we raced in 2012.
