FEEDBACK ARTICLE - STRAIGHT AHEAD by Jeff Wolf

Revamping the points system is an absolutely deplorable idea. You hit the nail on the head with how exciting the Championship battles have been in recent years, but my biggest issue is unfairness.  How can you penalize (regardless of budget and/or number of teams under one banner) teams for doing well over the entire season? If I was a sponsor with a king's ransom invested, I would strongly consider pulling my funding from anything related to NHRA.  Better yet, maybe these sponsors and teams should make a switch to the IHRA!  How about the idea of big brother and little brother changing places?  The trend of crossover teams has increased in the last two seasons, is anyone at NHRA paying attention to this?  Typically, the NHRA won't care until something drastic happens (remember the tire issues in Top Fuel?) or it is too late. - Tim Teper, Lisbon, CT
