Did NHRA Change The Rules Again?

I thought it was the quickest 128 cars.

Toby, it is, since 2008. Winning Class, no matter how many cars are in it, does not get you in the show. Sad.

Since there are no singles in class anymore, maybe they should change this rule back! The combo winners should be in the field! Take that idea to your competition rep!

Hey Travis,
Is this true? Have the rules changed? The way it reads it's class winners + qualifiers???

Tim Kish · 08-23-2011, 06:31 PM

It's read the same for years, even after the rule changes. It misleading - maybe all the non-qualifying class winners since the rule change should file a class-action suit for the false advertising (j/k)!

The point may be moot - as of this evening there were 132 entries in Stock Eliminator for a 180 entry quota, 73.3%. Entries close on Monday at noon, so as of now only 4 people go home to make a 128 fastest field, hopefully NOT one of the Class Winners!
