Re: great call nhra -new rules for f/c qualifying

oh, yeah...

13th was Jeff/DHL Car
14th was Matt Hagan
15th was Frank Hawley
16th was Wildthing

So far, everyone in flopper has had 3 EQUAL shots at the track... So now we have two shots at qualifying for 10 cars for 4 spots???

This isn't excitement, this is pure fabricated BS.

After four, With Real Qualifying

Hawley, Head, and BT III, would have bumped in... and Jeff's 4.193 would still hold at 15th... this is real best runs runs of the weekend... the only difference being Matt Hagan's Back to back 4.208's which right now is 16th... instead of 17th

You guys can whine and cry all you want to, but it was the RACERS that asked for the change in the qualifing format to take some of the emphasis off of the Friday night session.

Might as well have first round buybacks while they're at it.

He's only complaining about your whining. Big difference. Like that commercial where one guy has the same idea as the other guy but moves his hand in a different way?

Not Crying or whining... Just stating the fact that it only is affecting Two Cars in Flopper right now. Pro Stock is a whole different story.
