If you could run a National event without the AHFS in place-

[Tony Corley]

Now that someone finally explained that it's not an "all run" field, at least that part makes sense now. When I asked the reasoning earlier, the answers, although some being condescending, were totally useless in shedding light on the issues caused. I thought it was an all run field, so qualifying order didn't seem to matter.


Thanks for the ones that took time to give a reasonable explanation.

Tony, the only National Event that is not an "all run" field is Indy; the quota is 200 for both Stock and Super Stock, and 128 cars qualify for each category. Every other National event is "all run" because the quotas are all less than 128.

Thanks Superfan. As I said, I can understand there being an issue if it affects getting in the field, or even bye runs, for that matter.

Lol, I'm from the south also, so defiantly speak slow. Like I said, wasn"t trying to offend anyone, just meant to inject some humor with the play on words.

At Indy 200 entries qualify for a 128 car field.
All other National Events 128 car entries qualify for 128 car field or what ever limit NHRA puts on entries for that particular event.
All entries qualify and are paired on a ladder for eliminations.
At division events there is a 128 qualified field with pairing and ladder if there are 130 entries 2 may not race.

The definition of the term "All Run": A Bracket Race. No limit to entries all entries run the eliminator, no qualifying sheet, no pairing, no ladder for eliminations. All entries are called to staging lanes drivers choose left or right lane for random pairing who you roll up next to is your opponent.

Looks like NHRA might be actually listening ??
