If NMCA wants their new S/SS combo to prosper, make it with no heads up runs. NMCA should also look at random pairing until the field gets down to 8 cars.

I don't think there's a combo program any more healthy than the one run at Bowling Green. There's no moratorium on heads up races there. If there are no heads up races, it's just a Pro/Super Pro all run bracket race with more rules.
