I think there is a strong argument to make that Stock is mostly a bracket race already. It's rather rare that there is a heads up run for an eliminator champion. While this thread was started to express the opinion that new cars are the problem with Stock, I could easily argue that the fifty odd classes are a major problem with Stock. There is very little heads up racing outside of class events. Even at Indy there was 31 Stock class runoffs, 19 were 4 cars or less, only 7 required more than 3 rounds including both FS classes. Those numbers are up since NHRA implemented the combo stick and auto, which I really like.
If someone is trying to "fix" the class how does heads-up racing factor into that?
