Every event needs to have ONE round of qualifying, then go into class eliminations, that way everyone, even the "singles", gets a time shot in each lane.

Whether or not they leave the "combo" for one car classes in place, I'm neutral on. At least it would pay points for some of the singles.

Class should pay 20 points per contested round win. And an extra 20 for the class win, so the winner of the final round gets 40 points.

Qualifying should pay on a graduated scale from #1 to # 10, with #1 getting at least 20 points, but no more than 40 points.

A heads up win during final eliminations should pay double points for the round. Or a 20 to 40 point bonus.

A record, more than .75 under the index, should pay 100 points, if both ends of the record are set. The same car cannot get points for a record in the same class twice in a row. So you cannot set a record soft, and reset it several times for extra points. If you set it, it has to be reset by another car before you can get points for resetting it yourself.

That would return a lot of performance type racing to the class, without making it impossible for anyone but the fastest and best funded to win a race or a championship. With the AHFS, it would also push the bogus stuff toward correct factoring a lot faster.

I like it!

Ed, I don't see that as a problem..
But it IS a problem that I'm not out there! I'm putting a lot more pressure on the shop. I want it done this season, not next. Been long enough!
