SSDiv6 is right Zach. No offense but I just didn't buy a killer high class stocker only to run someone in the same class, who is slower, running different dial ins. As far as the money aspect, and being beat by someone with more cash, if you're already worried about the money, maybe Stock and Super Stock aren't for you. If you love Bracket Racing so much and think heads up runs should be eliminated, then maybe you should consider sticking with Bracket Racing. Like what was previously posted, these are performance based classes. If we were to take away the performance aspect (heads up runs), it only water down the classes even further, plus, now new spectators would be confused when you have 2 cars in the same class, and one gets a head start. The only advantage to having a fast car, then, would be running heads up for class at National Events. And alot of people who run only divisionals would never be forced to step up performance wise, thus, diluting the eliminators even further. Just my $.02

Hey Larry,

Lets see how everybody feels by August of 2008, by that time the sandbagging should be over..
Then they will see how it really is ? Please don't tell me that FI cars are now factored correctly, its a Joke... But I guess this is the only way to prove it... Larry, it will take years to even this move out @ 1-3 HP per hit... I guess they want us all to move to FI cars, hey its only money... Time will tell..... I do think we had too many classes,but not enough thought was given to the HP factors... Should be an interesting year on top of high gas prices and the cost of traveling....

Recommendation: give imput to NHRA to tighten up AHFS so it works faster or more often or at more places and EVERY bogus combination will be corrected faster as well as the FI cars... It is the right idea and based on real racing but just not effective enough yet...
