[QUOTE=Jim Caughlin;477222]Dick, there is a 'cheap' entry to stock and super stock, it's called bracket race until you can afford to move up to class racing, that's what I did. I didn't ask for anyone to change the rules to accommodate me. When I first started is SS, I couldn't run the index but I kept at it until it worked. If it comes to the point that I can't afford SS or don't like the rules, I won't complain, I'll just go back to bracket racing.

Again this posts the fact that Most people are pleased with taking a class legal set of rules and building a car to compete. They are having fun and the Heads Up Class racing component doesn't come up in their responses.
Jim you are correct as far as you go with your comments. How many cars are in your Class when you go to a national event? Are they a good heads up race for you or are you #1 in class and can win a trophy? or are you just pleased to race the Points meet format?
To me Eliminator at points meets is only a part of the picture.Winning a class trophy is the rest.
To each his own but when dial in Is what you live for ......are you really running class?
