This topic comes up often in association races, Heads-up or No heads-up. In the ASRA we run 6 races annualy and have for 31 years. Our car counts average over 60 . We have always had heads up in our events. We always have scales, we always weigh cars during time trials and we have spot check rounds where everyone weights. most importantly if there is a heads up, we always weigh that pair.

Yes we have dq'd because a racer is lite during the eliminator , but it is rare and probably has happened 3 times in the last 10 years. the 3 that come to mind, 2 were heads up and 1 was not.

Honestly we have not had any big controversies regarding weight and legality issues, we allow protests, but I know we have not had one in 20 years and maybe never.

Some of our most exciting and talked about events and rounds have involved heads up runs. And we have had votes at our meetings about heads up and each time the vote has resoundingly gone for heads up.

I will say that I believe you will get more cars if you have heads up runs.

That's just my take on the deal

Most importantly, anyone who organizes a stk/ss event is to be congratulated, it is like a civic duty to our sport and is a lot of work, but well worth it.

Good Luck
