You guys are all ignoring the elephant in the room. That being the almightly dollar. I don't care what rules, what safeguards, whatever you propose, if it's a heads-up eliminator, you're going to be out-dollared - period. The person with the most money wins. Always has been, always will be. Do you think that the system of indexes and AHFS appeared out of thin air? It has been a slow, concerted effort to keep the playing field level. It isn't always perfect but it's the best system going.

This horse (new heads-up eliminator) has been beaten to death so many times I can't count them all.

You will spend more keeping a Stocker competitive (for class races) than you will one of these. Coyote Stock is in it's 4th or 5th year, and as competitive as ever. That is why they went ahead with the LS Class. A friend of mine just put together a new car for Coyote Stock and was within a 10th of the number 1 qualifier at the first race of the year, and there is nothing trick or high dollar on the car. The sealed engine and computer takes the "rich guy" factor out of heads up racing. There is only so much you can spend on bolt on suspension and drivetrain before it becomes a driver and chassis tuners race, instead of engine builder/tuners race.
It's not inventing the wheel, it's already being done. I just think it would be even better on a national platform like one of the 'HRA's
