The one nice thing about no heads-ups (aside from being easier on me/us to do the races) is that being a millionaire or having the advantage of an underfactored combo is nullified. Anyone can compete, as long as it's NHRA/IHRA-legal, and can run the Index. These races, the average Joe Stocker guy can have a chance. When I polled a few racers in my series, they preferred that I leave it as is (and yes, some were fast guys/girls that love heads-ups). And like was said earlier, you can test, gauge yourself (though not 100% accurately) against fellow competitors, race with your peers, win some good money, have a better entry/payout than a Divsional race, and only need to take one, at most two, days away from home, and it's a low pressure, fun way to race without all the costs, points and xHRA hassles. I guess if you prefer the heads-ups and all that, there is still National/Divisional events.

Terry, I could have paid your in water/diet Coke/Gatorade and a premade cold sandwich, had I known that. LOL
