Marvin, I agree 100% This really doesn't make sense to me though I've seen a few posts from people stating that a racer may "borrow a fast car" to race forcing a heads up run. This is easily prevented by IHRA, I'm not sure of this but I would guess that there aren't a lot of the same class cars in the normal top of points. Sure a racer could at the "run off" borrow a car to run heads up however he would have to know the pairings in advance correct? how would he know what class car to borrow? And last but not least this is Class Racing, which unless the meaning has changed means two cars in the same class run "HEADS UP" sure it would be upsetting to be beat in a championship run off in a heads up run, but just think how the winner would feel, if he indeed did it the right way, WOW I raced good and now my hard work on my CLASS CAR paid off. Just my opinion and I know it's not widely accepted. Joe. By the way what the heck does SCOOTER know about class racing? I thought he ran the Rod classes.
