Actually Harry, I wanted to be able to race when I'd have to win class to race in the eliminator, because in most cases I'd only have to win one race since there (in most of their recent races), was only one other DF/S car I'd have to compete against, and although I may have been .2 slower than my possible opponent, I could've gotten the same luck as that SS/AH car who should've been spanked by a Cuda that was nearly .2 quicker last week? I agree with you "THAT WAY", "was way more fun", and I'd have rooted for you more because you weren't "one of the fast guys"!
Many say that change is good...well in this case I'll agree to disagree with that, because it keeps check book racers from being able to race the big go, and have the same chance at running in the show this weekend as those bigger budgeted racers....our sport should be doing more to attract more racers, not deter prospective racers away....
BTW, thanks Harry, Ed, & Jeff, for your thoughts too, because I wish I could've gotten into class racing and had a chance to run off the record to win class. Moreover, I wish I could've raced in stock when it was more stock like, than many of todays stockers are (which are more super stock like than even they were just 30yrs ago)....
Jeff, I'm glad you like the Darts too, because I sure was rooting for one of them to win SS/AH this year, and Jim Daniels nearly pulled it off. Every year I'll either root Pancake's car, or now Daniels' car, and he nearly did what "Larry the Cable Guy" would always say..."get 'er done"! Great effort though Jim!!!
