Thanks Jeff, It is true I am out of the racing actively. When I first started racing Class winner was a Major deal. At first I thought I would build what " I liked" not knowing that my favorite was factored poorly, had a bad wt break and couldnt compete.
Then I felt that to WIN a Class Trophy I had to use the added advantages provided in OTHER ways by NHRA rules.
Factoring IS the BIG advantage which actually out weighs hard work in todays class racing. If you do BOTH and drive good you can be unstoppable in class.
Eliminator removes the need for "good factoring "till Heads up runs.
Todays S and SS provides much more dial in eliminations and reward for this racing and can be fun with almost any combination. It just might not be a Class Trophy Winner.
