I am with Jim on this one. If they don't qualify, then they go home - or stay and watch.

Or make it a 16 car field - like the PROS.

Last year it was a 16 car field, 8 blower cars and 8 n/a cars. The final was the winner of each class. The rules have been changed so that the n/a cars are not competitive any more. They all got to race in Stock. Nhra and the manufacturers have screwed this deal up big time. These cars should be featured on Monday at the US Nationals. They should not be able to run in stock at the bogus indexes they have. Every one of these cars has an index in FS that if they want to run in stock eliminator they should have to run on.

With 20 cars on the property, they could easily go to a 16 car field.

More excitement for the fans
