How abouut the recent index classes at national events?
Top Stock/Jr Stock?
See a pattern?
Good point Ed.
Although I do see Index Racing staying around for awhile. It's just a glorified form of bracket racing.
Yes, all of the heads up racing is all the rage right now. I have seen a surge of popularity in small tire heads up racing even at my local track.

Unfortunately, that type of racing almost always insures that some will be financially burnt-out in a short time. Some racers will even go as far as to get a second mortgage or cash in their 401K just to keep racing once they get the heads-up bug. That's plain crazy!

It's not what I want to do with my retirement fund, but I can understand the addictive nature of heads up racing.

I'll probably never win a heads up race, (even if I pair up with another H/Pure Stocker ) so I'll just keep bracket racing where I have an equal chance of winning.
