Maybe it's because I'm old, but class racing is not what I enjoyed (anymore). Really glad I got started in the heydays of NHRA. There just too many dam classes. I remember one year at Columbus? Kyle Brothers GT/DA Firebird had 4 heads ups in the eliminator. FOUR ! Class at Indy had 8 or more cars in our class. Class's more resembled what A/SA has now, you just couldn't seem to stay away from heads up runs. Thats what John and I fell in love with. This bracket racing/hide from AHFS? Its ok, as long as you didn't race when we had the constant threat of heads ups all the time. I realize this does not have anything to do with butts in the seats, but from my perspective it's the most disappointing thing about modern day class racing.
