Class is a side show to the eliminator. When class is run at a particular meet it does draw more entries. I am not saying there is no interest in class, just pointing out that is far less important than it use to be. The horsepower reductions are based on requests. Not everyone is going to be satisfied with the results.
Well said and that is whats wrong with stock eliminator. Too much shoe polish and not enough drag racing.
