As for S/SS, why do guys try qualify on the opposite side of a ladder than a similar class car they know is faster. Seems like trying to avoid a heads up to me and that is well after tech and classifying.
The hiders usually came in near the back of the lanes,at least when I ran Pro,which eventually was called Brk 2,supposedly no electronics.That's when I called it quits,around 1991.Then the electric generation came in.
You're right about guys laying it down in qualifying.How can you stop guys from dumping at 1K feet?
It's a shame that all the game playing goes on,but that's the way of the world now.
Joe,you're right about the cash part.
