Harry I think you still feel that stock and super stock are a performance based eliminator. I do not agree with that. In the sixties they and early seventies it was based on performance. Today these eliminators mostly resemble brackets. Heads up in stock elimination account for between 2% and 12% of the total runs in the eliminator, less in super stock. Class is a side show to the eliminator. When class is run at a particular meet it does draw more entries. I am not saying there is no interest in class, just pointing out that is far less important than it use to be. The horsepower reductions are based on requests. Not everyone is going to be satisfied with the results.
