[Mike Carr]

Class Eliminations are a race within a race, where all cars in the same class (all A/SA against each other, all B/SA, etc) race against each other to determine the Class Champion. Heads-up, .500 full tree, no breakouts. Some Classes get very good car counts. The last two years at Indy has seen 17 or more B/SA cars, making it five rounds to take home the B/SA trophy (as well as the SS/AH Hemi Challenge). Some classes may only have 2-6 cars. Some, like when I raced, only have one because no one will show up and race against them (too scared). It's one of the main atractions of Class Racing--who is the baddest of the bad, performance-wise? And, for those who are not, you still have the 'main event' to win.
