Mr. Tree Savoy,
Being you have been around since 1964 I'm very glad you have been able to experience heads up type racing. I myself enjoy class eliminations and heads up races. I'm a big fan of Pro Stock and other heads-up classes.If you actually knew me and my family like some others do on this site you would realize that we do race our cars hard. I myself have never dumped at a race to avoid getting a penalty. My father managed to get the steel head cobra jets 5 horsepower back in 2003 because of infractions during extreme conditions at Englishtown during the National Event. I wish we had that 5 horsepower back right now, being we got horsepower with weather conditions so good that we haven't seen them since that race. I would love to know what type of stock/super stock car you have raced? If you were a true stock/super stock racer I don't think you would be calling our form of racing total BS. Our horsepower system isn't perfect, that's for sure. But combinations also cannot be factored out of existence like they once were by the swipe of a pen.I do not recall the class every being a first one to the finish line wins type of class with the execption of class eliminations and heads-up races. I think that's why top stock was invented......so the upper class cars could go after each other heads up? Even when guys were racing off the records if they went under the record it was considered a breakout like today's dial in system to the best of my knowledge. If you don't like the fact that stock/super stock is basically a bracket race aside from heads-up runs and qualifying.....there's nothing written in stone that says you have to watch these classes race at all. If you wanna talk about this just send me an email at
ryanhorensky@yahoo.com or send me a personal message on here and I'd be glad to talk to you about what's pissing you off about our class and form of racing.
