i run superstock once or twice a year if trying to set a record. otherwise i stay home and run local. www.headsup-racing.com. does not matter to me if they let monster trucks in. it is just a glorified bracket race.

I thought NHRA was trying to cut the number of classes in stock and super stock (and according to Dick Butler have more heads up races - which by the way I like) not add to them. Doesn't IHRA have around 150 stock classes: stock, crate motor, GT, pure stock (whatever that means), GT with mufflers, etc. There was a discussion about the number of NHRA stock and super stock classes on this forum several times. Too many, don't need anymore. It has already gotten to the point where a class win doesn't pay much because of too many classes. Too many single runs for class. Good point(s) Mike, but let's face it, why even have stock or super stock if it is all about 'shoe polish' dial in? If it's just a glorified bracket race why even have any rules? Why have stock or super stock class run offs? Because it's all about performance !!! That's why must of us got into stock and super stock in the first place. Today some people are trying to change the concept of stock and super stock, but I am in it today for the same reason I got into it 30 yrs ago .. the challenge of running the best cars in the country in my class and winning ... period ...
