Start tearing some of those things down and watch them slow down.

Excuse me, both my car and Terry Knott's car when I drove for him have been apart several times.

Re: "glorified bracket race"... yes, it is... and it's the "glorified" part that makes it special! I am a bracket racer. I *like* class racing, whether it be class runoffs, heads-up runs in eliminations, qualifying, etc. FWIW, I wouldn't have a problem with full pound weight breaks and combining sticks & autos in a large number of areas, which would generate more heads-up runs... which I find totally ironic: a bracket racer accepting such ideas when so many die-hard Stock racers are vehemently against them. I take a broad view of the sport, and consider a lot of things that I think might be better for the sport as a whole, and not things that just benefit "me". But, that's all just my personal opinion, and no one else's.

Dave - Brandon's okay! He may drive a Ford, but he works at a Dodge dealer.
