I would like to race heads up most every round, if I race ,Jim, J Allen, Lance, Jeff,and a host of others the next heads up round is at the next race. This is the part that many of us love about class racing. How could I have forgotten Scott Burton, the tin Indian man who beat the snot out of me last year in Vegas?

I too, would love to have a headsup every round. I've been beaten before, but I still love me a headsup!

Nothing beats the tension, the preparation, and the anticipation. I think we're batting 0.500 with the orange car.

Lately, I've been running a car that hasn't been very competitive in its class. In general, I've tried to avoid heads-up races for the last few years. For the most part, when I attend a race in H/SA (sometimes I/SA) there are 5 other cars, 4 of whom can outrun me. Strategically, for me to advance as far as I can, I do what I have to do to avoid the other cars in my class.

That being said, in years prior, I drove a relatively fast car for its class. At the time, I would have absolutely killed for a heads-up race. Having been on both sides of the coin, I think it depends on the car you're driving. In no event do I think that heads-up races should be eliminated. It's the only thing differentiating us from bracket racers. Without the heads-up races, why bother with "Stock Eliminator" rules? We'd simply be replaced with Pro and Super Pro.
