What's up with alot of the stockers only running to the 1000' and lifting. If they keep it up we will all be used to be 1/4 mile racers. NHRA may say,"let's all run to 1000' " .

248H Stock?

Nothing new here, quarter mile or 1000' it is still a bracket race.

When I was in the third round of the National event in Joliet,and actually the fourth round of the Divisional in Joliet,I specifically don't remember putting a dial-in on the window.

Since this is a bracket race,was I supposed to?

The guy that is in first place in stock, Jody Lang, when was the last time he had a heads up in the eliminator? I will answer it not this year. Now saying that Jody lost a heads up in super stock and both Toby Lang and Mark Faul lost heads up at Sonoma. Stock is about 90% bracket and maybe 10% heads up. Super stock less than that. This is could enough for me to call it a bracket race.

Try running a car in AA thru H stock automatic ,and you will find out real fast it is not a bracket race.In any Division with races that have 70 or more cars, you will have quite a few heads up runs.

Those guys are great drivers but their hot rod's are not so hot.. Some racers take as much pride in their qualifying position as # of rounds won, some don't..
