That's a great idea Bruce.

That would solve the problem.

All stock eliminator cars should race under the same rules. Having 2 sets of rules at the same race is just wrong. Bruce you were #2 qualifier at the gators in my book.

When first hearing about the rule change thought it was great and fixed the problem. Later on info on the shootout came out with it still part of the regular eliminator and qualifying........
That didn't fix the qualifying situation many were upset about at Indy or the other national events on the schedule.
The reality is NHRA and manufacturers want the shootout (so do we) but cannot bring themselves to create a separate eliminator for it promote correctly and feature it on TV.
Until they all step up problrm not fixed 100% it's only money.

It would be really easy to fix this, and then everyone would be happy. No AHFS for ALL stock eliminator cars at the races where the FS race is contested.

These are the same complaints that have existed since these cars were exempt from the AHFS. Same problem different year.

^^ agree !

That would be a super easy fix and it would generate alot more excitement at those events.

That would be wild seeing the traditional Stockers hang it all out without penalty at National events.
