Re: heads- up runs
 

I had two this year but the possibility of many more. I think the idea of knowing that a heads-up run is possible in the future is as important to class racers as actually running one (especially in Stock). When I get a ladder I look at who I have to race first round and if/when the possibility of a heads-up run will be coming down the line. You have to prepare for it if you are going to run Division 1 because sooner or later its going to happen unless you run from people who are faster. You can only hide for so long up here and as Todd mentioned, title contenders have had their year ruined by one or two heads-ups.

2 in stock 1-1
2 in superstock 2-0
not many for how many F & G cars in our Div.

Re: heads- up runs
 

You will have to explain that one to me. If you lose a heads up in a early round you don't see the later rounds.

Re: heads- up runs
 

I've had a heads up at every national event in the last four or more years. Why? I only go to national events that run CLASS, because S/SS is NOT bracket racing (and it takes two races to make $310 and five days worth it to me).

If you aren't hitting heads up runs in the eliminator in D1 or D3, it's because you aren't winning any rounds! If you don't count class, that's because you aren't a real S/SS racer. Flame on............

One for one......payed-off not to be early!

Re: heads- up runs
 

In division 3 if you have an A through G stock automatic car you are going to have heads up runs occasionally. In 2007 the year I was fortunate enough to win the division I had 6 or 7 during the year. Without those heads up runs no way I would have won.

Re: heads- up runs
 

Haven't had any heads up runs, can't get two cars in my garage side by side....someday...

Re: heads- up runs
 

I think the point of this questionaire is "look NHRA, there are hardly ever any heads-up runs so let's just drop heads-up runs from the program. Then I can be successful at Class Racing with my brackets racing prowess and not ever have to worry about loosing a round because I don't have the talent, money or time to building a successful class car." :mad:

Re: heads- up runs
 

That is simply a state of mind. My state of mind is class is not important, there are other that suffer from the same state of mind.

Re: heads- up runs
 

We have had a few heads up races over the past couple of years, (7 or 8 ) and the only one we lost was to a car that was later found to be illegal.

So I would generally say that we like heads up runs.

And our engine was sealed when we got the A/SA record, so it will stay sealed into the next season
