One improvement I would like to see-if you go faster than 1.20 and get torn down and found legal, if the run is faster than the current record for the class they should give you the record. You should get something besides HP.

I'm going to take a different approach here.
1. Lower the entry fees to $100.
Don't think they will raise the winnings enough to pay for the high dollar heads
and motorhome.
2. Class at every national event. Back the car off of the trailer ready to race. No time
trials, class instead. No one in your class, one run and if you are under the index
you win class and go to eliminations. All class winners are in and the rest of the
field is made up of cars most under the index.
3. Top ten cars get points 10 to 1 for 1to 10.
4. Record holder at end of the year gets 10 points.
5. Records are published in every edition of ND.
6. When the first pair runs the line is closed.

The young man doing the interviews for NHRA is correct, Stock Eliminator is the biggest car show on earth.

That would be an added bonus to push it to the breaking point of 1.20 for sure. I used to enjoy setting records multiple times a year but it cam to a point where that appeared to be a nuisance to the tech officials.

Forgot to add, unlimited entries. Pick a number run for the eliminator win.

64 everywhere but Indy sounds reasonable.
