Isn't that what the Stock, Super/Stock combo races are about. There is no teardown at those events, It's no heads-up and a dial-in. Now the car counts are becoming about the same, but the swing is toward the combos. There must be something folks like about it, maybe it's just aggravation mitigation! LOL

Wade, our combo races are NOT "no heads up" races. We do have scales and heads up races. If we took the heads up races out we'd lose a lot of our car count. No, we don't have tear downs. But I don't think anyone would be happy about what would likely happen if they showed up at our races and tried to get away with cheating. because the racers would know.

It is not the lack of heads up races and the lack of tear down that make the combo races popular. It's the way the racers are treated.
