Weird idea for qualifying

rboyle · 12-28-2019, 06:42 AM

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 .

I like that idea.

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.

How about getting a sponsor to pay a lot of money to number one qualifier>Would this be an incentive to run

fast ???

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

I was not aware #1 immune from AHFS. I used to do it, if we had an odd number of cars, for the first round bye. Caught so much crap over it, I stopped. Guess others were not aware either. I just keep mine slowed down now. Doesn’t seem like racing.
More like ET brackets, which is not really racing.

look at nmca s/ss top 16 qul. get points 90 points for #1

I was not aware of no AHFS either for the #1 qualifier. Interesting.

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
