It seems like with all the classes out there now they could have one setup for just heads racing stock cars. It would be nice if they just used the class indexes to determine the head start and it was first to finish plus the reaction times. I understand there is a huge advantage for those who spend a lot of money, but if you just want to race and have a chance with a slower car just do bracket racing. Theres my young and dumb opinion take it what its worth.

RPM42.....They had the type of first to the finish line racing back in the mid 70's you mentioned and it was the same 3 or 4 cars winning all of the time. The entries dropped of to almost nothing (less income for NHRA) so they changed it back to bracket racing except for class run offs and the ocasional heads up race if they couldnt find a class to hide in to avoid it.
