The heads up runs intrigue me, but I do not want to race in a category where we basically only have heads up.
We simply cannot afford to keep up with the Jones's and build a car that will run 1.30 under. And your proposed dropping the indexes .5 and make the trigger -.65 only takes out the slow guys. The fast guys can still go just as fast and not get hit, but racers such as us cant show up and have a chance at racing.

Stock and Super Stock is still a performance based class. It may be a glorified bracket race to bracket racers, but not for the guys that have been doing this for over 30 years. My put is if you do not want to spend the money or work hard in your car, just keep bracket racing and stay out of class racing. If you do not want to have heads-up runs, stay out of the class. You still have a chance of racing in the class, however, you want to race under your own terms.
