How competitive are you?

How competitive are you?

Depends on the day.

See if you can get Michael Beard to explain "International Pro Stock to you.

Just off the top of my head, if I recall, it's basically small-motor Pro Stock with rules like the K/A Comp class. Every manufacturer makes a car and engine combination that fits. "Real" cars that everyday people buy the standard production car versions of. Wide variety, countless options, and modern technology applicable to their factory counterparts develops a broader interest from builders, engineers, and fan base alike.

Ive always thought group A B C Together D E F , G H I , and so on and so on. More heads up races.

I've long advocated for a logical consolidation and/or adjustment of weight breaks, and integration of sticks & automatics for the same reason. There'd still be plenty of bracket racing, but more heads-up racing would lead to more research and development, more sales for manufacturers, and a more effective AHFS. -- Delicious irony, coming from a bracket racer! LOL

Would you build a car and race if only 4 classes existed?

Depends on what they were and what format. If it wasn't my thing, and there was a market for additional classes or types of racing, then I would create the desired class(es) and format myself to fill that hole in the market.

If NHRA or (?) held races which were planned to feature Heads up 3 or 4 class races to increase the crowd appeal would you support the concept or? for the good of class racing?

Anyone that's been here for any length of time understands what you're getting at. No need to beat around the bush. Just offer the detailed proposal, and go from there.
