Heads up(no breakout) racing is what Comp Eliminator is once eliminations start. It should not be confused or lumped into the same category as the "Super" classes as it is totally different.
OK. In my thinking heads up is an even start. Heads up and handicap are at the light, breakout rule is at the stripe.

Not really a breakout rule, you can go as fast as you want but it can cost you for the next round or next race. There have been some flagrant examples of that in the past couple years in the turbo classes and AA/AM where racers have gone way, way under the index.
It sometimes can kill the class to make it very hard to be competitive. That is why you see racers changing classes between races or in the case of todays results it looks like David Rampy might have slowed to save his index and the A/EA class.

Look at Round 2

Al Ackerman and Scotty Richardson are good racers but having to go that fast to win will cost them next round.

Thanks. I understand the difference between breakout and CIC now.

Not to confuse anybody anymore but this weekend the mineshaft rule is in effect. Which means you have to run -66 under to receive permanent index.
