Re: Weird idea for qualifying
Being that Stock and SS are supposed to be performance based classes it would make sense to attach something to Qualifying. Money, points, trophy, green hat, some sort of badge of honor. A first round bye for number 1 can be helpful. I'm sure there are better ideas than the current situation .

Re: Weird idea for qualifying
It would be nice to have some sort of incentive to run flat out. Maybe all top 20 qualifiers get a small points bonus of some sort. Maybe #1 could also get a hat or something. I’m sure some hat company could donate a box of hats if nhra didn’t want to provide them.

Re: Weird idea for qualifying
Number 1 qualifier is immune from ANY ahfs. If you think you have what it takes then let it fly and hope someone else isn't just a little faster. Then put cash in the pot for number 1

Re: Weird idea for qualifying
Top qualifier's at Div.5 points races you would get a hat,and a sponsor would kick in $100.And they would post a pic of the three low qualifier's in STK,SS,COMP in ND.Now the only "prize" at a Nat.event would be a possible trip to the barn...gsa612

Re: Weird idea for qualifying
Trying to keep their AHFS average down, playing the ladder, prevent guys they may get paired with from knowing what they could actually run.
Also, I can assure you if you make a pass too far under your index you can get you some hateful text messages. Sometimes before you even get off the scales. Been there.
