[QUOTE=Todd Hoven;298636]Do you mean the original post of the author of the thread, or when Chip made his statement? When the sugestion was made about "RUN WHAT YOU BRUNG " and "ALL DIAL" thats when the conversation took the turn.[quote]

Sorry, I didn't see that in this thread.

Jeff is dead right, Most bracket guys that want an dial, dont want to race our sport like it was intended to be for the most part. I'm all for good offseason enjoyment. Happy Holidays!
I'm a bracket guy, and for years I've advocated adjustments that would lead to more heads-up racing, yet the majority runs for cover whenever it's brought up.

Can't remember what my heads-up record is... probably around even. Been #1 Qualifer in my own car once, and in a rent-a-ride once. Got several class wins. In the Eliminator, I've had 3 heads-up wins and 4 losses that I can remember off the top of my head. My first loss was against Rusty Canfield in EF/SA. He had me covered .80 in qualifying, but only beat me by .20. Most fun I've ever had losing! Pulled a rabbit out of the hat to beat Craig Marshall once in G/CM (one of my most exhilerating round wins of my career! ...'course we ran heads-up again the following week and he positively trounced me. LOL)
