Bob the main reason for the combos was to save trophies. It was touted as helping the racers to get more contingency money. Lies plain and simple.
Has contingency money for class go up one dime?
Do you realize how many trophies the didn't have to give out?

I agree with Bob Don 100%. If you want to run for the $ in the Combo then do so. Other wise it would be great to win class , either against someone or a single. Very proud of class win either way. NHRA may get more entries and more $ if they would do this where they run class .

I want to run class,no break out,whether heads up or with handicap.There are some combo series I could go run but they don't have heads up races,so I just as soon stay close to home and run bracket,without heads up might as well bracket race.
