This all presupposes that any car can at least run the index.

That isn?t always easy or a given. Especially when starting out in class racing.

Sarge, I would say qualifying must be kind of important to you. The 302 2bbl is super soft and you have a good car as well. You can qualify with ease at any race on the schedule. If it wasn?t kind of important why change from your last car?
( and Sarge not knocking why you would do this, but it certainly changes one?s perspective on qualifying when the car is that far under)


As far as going fast, it means less when the field isn?t full and or not many heads up runs,.

Good point about AHFS, if you plan ahead for races that may require you to let it out, it is prudent to keep your avg low prior to that so that hp hits are avoided at the end of the year.

Keep in mind, the stock and Superstock classes are a blend of bracket and heads up to keep the cost somewhat reasonable.

It is a decent compromise, but I do think more incentives for heads up and performance improvements would improve the classes.
