One reason there are no heads up in SHOOTOUT races is so that a SHOOTOUT competitor cannot borrow a real fast class car to insure a round win during the SHOOTOUT competition. Example = 8 SHOOTOUT cars in stock and say there is a b/sa in the SHOOTOUT and you can go borrow a friend's b/sa that would assure you a win by having a heads -up run. The ladder is posted in advance to show who you run and would make it easy for you to borrow a car to at least get you a first round win in the SHOOTOUT. Now ,on our regular race format you will have heads -up runs just as NHRA has.You got to understand this is SPECIAL Programs that are "no heads-up.It's kinda like lifting on your qualifing run to try to place yourself on the ladder to try to get a by-run or even try to have a heads-up with someone in your own class to insure you a so-called" free "round (unless you screw up and go red or leave way late).I hope that you guys and gals will give us a try . I know we are not NHRA ,but we are not trying to be.Come by and see us at tech or staging lanes and say hi ! We would be happy to have you here at IHRA.
