Seriously, how many cars would be at a S/SS race if the race was a heads up format? I agree it is fun to races heads up and win, but even if the economy wasn't in the tank there would still be a handful of people who have the time and money to build and run a heads up deal.

My 30 year old son started going to the races when he was in diapers, when he turned 14 we started building him a "bracket car" it was a low dollar deal but very competitive car, he won a few races with it. But he could never understand why I would want to run a class that required an occasional tear down, all the p issing and moaning, and heads up runs that unless you ran in an obscure class or spent a ton of money on a cool old car, you just weren't going to win.

He sold his bracket car and went to work for Doug Herbert who let him and the rest of the crew drive his super comp dragster and has since been trying to get a dragster. But his current job with the rail road keeps him moving around the country to much to get the task complete much less go racing. So hwen he is in my part of the country he take my middle of the pack F/SA and goes bracket racing.......
