I for one have advocated changes that would potentially increase heads-up runs. The ones that fight the notion are class racers with their own agenda.

Saying that bracket racers are trying to get rid of heads-up runs in S/SS racing is like saying bracket racing is too complicated to explain to spectators. It's a popular argument, but one that doesn't hold water upon closer inspection.

Just my $.02,

You know the reality. These guys just don't like getting beat by people who take the driving part of the equation as seriously or more seriously than the tuning part of the equation.

It's always the same people making this claim.

On the flip side, it could be made into a purely heads up eliminator. Than about half of the car count will disappear and the same group of grouchy old dudes that have been doing the same thing for the last 40 years can all run against each other until either they or the class die off first.
