[X-TECH MAN]

The fact remains that there are to many classes. I dont care if there were 50 or 51 classes back in the 70's. That was to many back then also and that is when I ran in NHRA S/S. Even back before the massive use of trans brakes I found very little difference between the 4 speed (Non Cluthless) and the P/G combo I ran. Probably even less in the higher classes. The classes should be cut in half. Combine the stick vs auto. Use a slight wt break if necessary to even out the lower HP to wt. combos. Use one lb breaks in stock. Most are there already in S/S.....finish S/S up in the higher classes and the GT classes. It hasen't hurt the S/S cars.There are way to many singles and handicap start races because of this and thats why some are calling it just another bracket race. Remenber when class usually took around 4 or 5 rounds to win class and you had to win class to run the eliminator ! Its bracket racing pure and simple as it is today. No wonder there are no spectators in the stands and interest from the manufacturers and TV people. Some will never get it. Your to interested in a "Cash Cow" to pay for your entry and travel expense. You might as well build a bracket 1 car and save the travel expense. Your bottom line will thank you for it.
