Let me throw this out there................

what if heads-up runs were eliminated from competition

would it be preferable to having to slowing your stuff down?

all the time, money, R&D, pride..... to slow the car down??
I would like to be able to go fast - work on my car - and then try to go faster -

There are difinitely more heads ups in stock than SS but really what percentage of
eliminations are heads up runs. It has to be a very small percentage.
What's the point in dying on the hill over this crap.

A prominant & extremely accomplished A/S racer suggested this 10 years ago.
I'm not going to say his name because he probably wants no part of this.

Eliminating heads up runs would allow everyone the opportunity to do their very best
to approach this the way it is most meaningful to them while hurting and discriminating against no one.
Look at Top Sportsman - gaining in popularity and gaining in acceptance and definitely welcomed with red carpet treatment by NHRA - 7 second 200mph cars 1000hp etc and they are dialing in and no one gives it a second thought.

Please - don't bring up class elims issue on this one - I don't give a crap about class elims anymore because its been reduced (w/ the exception of Indy) to a sporadic side show dominted by single runs.... and sometimes fastest qualifier when it gets thrown to the side due to schedule issues.
