Class Racing started out being HP and skill at getting it off the line and down the track in the quickest (by the rules) way possible. And that is the way it should still be. But I know,-----evolution. We are going to be extinct if we keep up with all this evolution. Nothing I admire more than a good driver and a fast car that can pass tech. I didn't start out Bracket Racing because there basically was none. Nothing wrong at all with Bracket Racing, but don't drag it over here into Class Racing. If you think that Class Racing is just Bracket Racing then why not just go to Bracket Races and save the time fussing about it. Quit trying to change probably one of the most challenging areas of drag racing. Well, it used to be challenging. But with all the aftermarket enhancements brought about by "evolution", its getting less and less challenging to me and alot of other racers apparantly.

Very good post. It is now way dumbed down so the bracket racers can compete. Put things back like they started out and a lot would have to go back to just bracket racing. How many today would drive to Pomona only to have somebody hand you your tail first round of class, and send you home with no chance of running eliminations, and ever go back again? Nobody anymore. We did it all the time.
