Default Re: Should Pro's be seperated from Sportsman

Maybe if Comp, Super Stock, and Stock went back to racing off the National record the fans would be more interested. Racing to 1000 feet is not interesting to the fans because they don't understand about saving your index. This would take class racing back to "Go fast or go home".

And then we'd just have new cars, and a few odd ball combos. And deepest pockets win

But the fastest car would win. Then Super Stock and Stock would not be a bracket race anymore.

Jimmy Defrank just had to go through 4 heads-up rounds to win his race this year. Latino had a heads up in the final to win his. 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!!!

Facts of life:
1 , Breakout racing doesn't bring in a lot of spectators.

2, Flat out racing doesn't bring in a lot of race cars.


If someone can figure out how to get around those two facts, then you've got something
