Billy, you just see the word "racing" as a dial in game. I see racing as one driver against one with the clock as an observer and you see the clock as the deciding vote. Just a problem of definitions. Have a Happy New Year.

Those are for X box gamers that want a real surround sound experience, all the electronics classes are that way IMHO

Spec cubic inches per pound, spec heads, spec cam spec carb, spec tires

Classes could be added for different specs, weight, carb, big tires, amount of modifications to the chassis ect...

Say a 9" tire class with stock type body/interiors, bolt on traction devices sort of an entry level class

And maybe a 9" tire with more modifications to the CHASSIS

Each class is heads up.

Maybe a king of the hill for the classes with handicaps?

Then heads up

Is now. Didn't used to be. They have sure dumbed it down. Had to know something to run the record. Don't have to know much to run the too soft index.

Dick, Dick, Dick, again I have to disagree with you. You just seem to see the word "racing" as who has the fastest car. When it was worth it for me to take "racing" seriously, I was "racing" the racer in the other lane, the car in the other lane, the racer in the other lanes spotters, his weather calculations, the track and anybody else who wanted to fight about who was going to win the race. When I had to go fast, I'd "let the rabbit out of the hat". And trust me, I've done things to a car to find a couple of hundredths when I needed to that you or any other sane individual would never do.
I like heads-up racing just as much as the next guy but Sportsman Drag "racing" is much more multi-sided than who has the fastest car.
Ya know, maybe you should try hanging around your local track on Friday nights. There's always a lot of guys hanging around that will tell you that they have the fastest car. And for X number of dollars, they'll prove it to you!
And a Happy and Healthy New Year to you and yours too!
