Costs for any racer is a big issue and we all have different bugets but it would nice for those who choose to run fast to have some incentive to do so like class racing at the divisional.

Typically a race set up is different than what would be used for a heads up race or class race. Heads up or class is all out for performance. A race set up is for consistency to win rounds. I can make my car about 15 hundreths faster if I set it up for all out performance in a class run off. That set up is not good for elimination rounds as it is not consistent. You need to be able to run on your dial and have a better than .02 light to be competitive in eliminations. Recently I had a round that I was .008 on the light and dead on the dial with a .003 and lost. so that tells you that racing is very close in our style of competition. Personally I like to go rounds so I usually keep my car in race mode all of the time.
