If more cars were around and sponsors could be rounded up and guys showed up who knows how it works... My personal feeling is that if I came from 400 miles to run class I still would rather race class for 3 or 4 rounds than get a BYE into eliminator. Could nt there be BOTH kinds of racing at NHRA events, might it encourage working on the cars to run fast? (Sell Parts) (attract Sponsors) be more interesting to spectators and racers. (JOG the AHFS faster)
Maybe we should ask guys why they like watching ss/HA or GT/AA or.... where there are 6 or 8 heavy hitters from across the country. Class Racing Heads up can be part of the show without excluding anyone but adding a series of possible Positive affects
As for the Poll only 16 or so answered out of how many? Also poll addressed Points for records and winning so Class racer mentality could earn more point too instead of only Bracket mentality earning.

What on earth makes you think that everyone magically would work on their cars and make them go faster. Don't you realize it's about money. Hard work will only get you so far
Why don't you go over to the comp forums. And listen to what real competition is all about
That is what you are trying to turn stock and superstock into If you race a higher class car right now you need 2 wheel barrows of money to be competitive. Do you want everyone to spend $100,000. That is exactly what would happen if you got your way.
