In my opinion, the ability to set records isn't as much of a problem as the penalty for going fast. The only way to take advantage of being fast, is to hide how fast a car is until it's needed in a heads-up race, and then only use what you need to get the job done. It's arguably not a whole lot different than throttle stop racing that so many of us abhor.

I think a better conversation would be how do we incentivize displays of performance capability in Stock & Super Stock.
Here are my suggestions.
  • Qualified fields at all national events. Raise the quotas and qualify 32, 64, or 128
  • Points for qualifying position
  • Pro ladder
  • Lane choice to higher qualifier
  • Points for setting records
  • Points for class round wins
  • Consolidate classes to create more heads-up racing
  • Some kind of award or special recognition for being #1 qualifier
  • Special race for top qualifier points earners

Agree, but would add that the AHFS needs to be corrected by only adding horsepower when a engine combination has an average in the data base more than 1 second under the index.
