Rules for Class Championship on NHRA

[Jeff Teuton]

Toby, page 7, under my 'Wishes' thing, No 2 is that Toby Lang would show me how to do stuff like that. Is that what you call an upload? And yes, all my grandkids are gone for now (13, ages 13 yrs to one month). I didn't see anything about the payments, but I know Scooter was trying to advance the program. Singles now get the same points.

But why did they have to create combos AND pull the money (aside from indy and Jegs nats)? Couldn't they do one or the other? Keep single runs and pull the money, or run the combos and pay the money?

Regardless, it would have been an admirable gesture by NHRA if they could have stepped up to the plate and started offering some money to class winners.

By definition it is not a class win when they combine classes and run them based off a class index?!? Some classes have been beaten up, some have not so it is total crap. IF you are going to combine classes (Auto and Stick) it should be a dial in race to make it fair for everyone ...

When this came up last year, I believe someone was touting this as only a beginning, and this year (2012) there would be an even better program. Looks like an afterthought to me. Just make it up on the fly as they usually do.

Good thing I kept all of those original parts for most of my cars. Might be at be at the cruise night. This is coming from someone who just one of the last heads up races of the year. Races like this keep my interest in this sport win or lose. This is what stock and super stock was and should be about. It is a performance based bracket race.

That would be all we need. Shoe polish in class. Don't you think shoe polish has diluted class racing enough? Leave some thing for performance based racers.

I will have to assume that you are thinking of eliminations. Because having a dial in race for class is the stuppidest thing I have ever heard. If that is what you are actually suggesting you really need to find a different class to race. Stock and Superstock are supposed to be a performance based class lets try and leave a little bit of that. There are bracket races all over the world where you can go and dial in all you want.
