Every time one of these races happen the difference between bracket racing and class emerges. Those situations don't appear in Bracket racing....ever. That is exactly why stock/superstock combo's don't appeal to many stock/superstock racers. The lack of heads-up possibilities turns them off.

Then they should come to the Bowling Green combo races. We can, and do, have heads up races.

the last couple of IHRA races I went to up in our area(Byron,Martin Mi.) you could have come in anytime the whole weekend, with 10 of your racing buds in double stackers,and parked right next to each other, anywhere in the pits!!!

From a spectator like myself I liked it when Bandimere was a 4-day event. S/SS did everything, qualifying and class on Thursday and I loved it. No pro stuff! I know it must suck for the racers having first round Friday then second on Saturday. Now I just plan my spectating to Div. races. I haven't been to the Mile Hi's in years, but I try to go to all the Div. 5 races at Bandimere ane all the Div.7 races at Vegas. It sucks that so much has changed in the last 20 years since I started following S/SS.

P.S. Someday I might build a legal engine, I made sure my car was legal before I built it!
If I can ever afford it!
