1. Gain points for setting records 25 for et/10 for speed (only two a year) must pass teardown.

2. Points for qualifying in top 10. 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 you get the idea. This will encourage people to run hard and maybe the ahfs will actually come into play.

3. Bonus points at thr end of the year for top 10 drivers who average under the index (farthest under) throughout the season. Minimum 50 qualifed runs.

4. More notoriety in ND. Car owner,driver,engine builder,sponsors etc. Lets get some publicity.

Another Idea:

How about implementing class at divisionals. This is suppose to be performance based. Well lets get back to performance!

Automatic hits needs to be moved to 1.10 under from 1.20.

Just my thoughts. Maybe some sponsorship for records. Don't roll you damn eyes saying it can't. Be done. I found 23 sponsors to sponsor one class (SS/K) totaling 7000k in cash,products, and services for one race. I'm a.nobody in racing. Hell 75% of you on here have no idea who I am. But with my determination I made.it happen. Get some big wigs involved and I bet some nice sponsorship could be put together for records etc.

What's everyone's opinion? I'm a state trooper so I'm thick skinned I can take it.

All great ideas.
