Answer for short fields

Short Fields are HORRIBLE for the fans. We pay outrageous prices to see a Shorty. How about this?

At races where the field entry list is short: 14 cars qualify

Round 1: 14 cars = 7 races. With the quickest getting a bye for round 2

Round 2: 7 cars and the quickest from round 1 matched against slowest winner

That would keep everybody honest in this round.

Round 3: Quickest matched against the slowest winner from the previous round

Round 4: Finals – Same as it is now

More thoughts for NHRA

1000' for fuel racing--NO.

Slow fuel cars down:

     *Limit blowers to 12-71.

     *Reduce blower overdrive ratio by 25-33%.

     *Maybe 1 mag?

     *Means smaller capacity fuel pumps, less HP, fewer explosions.

     *Go back to the 1320! Shorter tracks may then have room for 1/4 mile runs. If not, then 1/8 mile.

Open Pro Stock:

     *Almost any engine with cubic inch/weight ratio. (Like it was back in 70s when Pro Stock was wide open and interesting.)

Others:

     *Expand Competition Eliminator--you see some real engineering here.

     *Pro Mod may be the most exciting class. Why? It's wide open, not cookie cutter cars.
