That is the point!

Rich,
Maybe I was not clear enough. Below is quoted from my earlier post...

"BUT, I do not agree with letting the FS cars qualify on the ladder with NO worry of HP. Because of the bye runs, this is unfair, and no way to defend it... math here, not just heart strings!"

I will agree again. And use math again... as long as they can play this game to qualify without fear of HP, why would you not try for #1, or where ever looks best for the bye run opportunities?

This is not about the cost of new cars, etc. Not about technology, being jealous, etc. Not even about heads up runs... Once the shoe polish goes on the window, it is just a race.

They are just being given an unfair advantage. This is just ANOTHER instance of NHRA hurting the future of the sport. It feels like they continue to try to drive the average working man out of the sport???

With all the hoopla about all the excitement over the new cars (usually coming from guys running them), did anybody notice the stands at Indy when they ran? LOL
