Who gets the bye in round one and why? Who gets the next bye and why? Everyone needs to know all the rules that are changed from the NHRA norm.

If you opponent is in the same class just ask if he wants a heads up. Dial 8.00 and first to finish line wins.

If you want RT to set the bye first round have a practice tree tournament. It has no place in NHRA racing for determining bye runs.

I know in D5 it’s always laddered, otherwise might as well go run pro et.

Brent just wondering when was the last time one of your front wheel drive cars had a heads up run. LOL .The reason they have all run first rounds at National opens in div.3 is to save time by not giving 10 cars bye runs. And by the way when Pro et is run at a National open it pays way more ( and less of an entry fee) than Stock and SS. Go figure.
