Class win

A big thanks to Michael Beard for putting me in with such top shelf announcers. I have been doing this announcing thing long before bracket racing emerged and even before Super Stock had its own eliminator. Going back to the class win situation, knowing what I know about the expense, effort, time and knowledge it takes to build any class stocker or super stocker it seems we don't reward these racers as well as we could. Regardless of the class size, one car or ten, the expense to enter a divisional or a national event is more than costly enough to cover the expense of a trophy for class winners. It isn't the racers fault the he may be the only car in his class. You put the effort into one of these class cars and you win class, lets reward you with a trophy. As far as announcing drag racing in general, there not much better stuff than sending class cars, heads up, down the track to see who's best that day. Once eliminations start, its a bit different, now everyone is into getting the cars to run the number and the driving to be sharp at both ends of the track. The variety of cars, classes, performance levels gives me plenty to talk about. It seems like round one is over in no time at all! By the way, nobody appreciates your efforts in stock and super stock more than I do.
