I knew about the heads up thing going into stock (because that's what I heard complained about the most) but if the majority (as it seems is the case) would rather not have a heads up race in regular eliminations why not change it? Leaving it like it is just because that's the way it's always been doesn't make it right. Change isn't always a bad thing. I know a guy that only ran his first and last event last year and was unlucky enough to draw a fast heads up first round. I felt really bad for him. He worked his tail off to run stock and then that happened. I'd be surprised if he tries stock again.
I'd be curious to know if the quicker cars in class if the engines were built by the car owners/drivers vs. buying them from a builder. If the latter is true it's just a money class (more money=more performance).
I'd also be curious as to whether stock racers would rather see more stock cars or less at a race. If the latter is true why not change it to run eliminations like they do in the class combo.... Dial everyone at index and whoever gets there first wins. That would make it a true performance class.
