And BTW there were no quickest loser qualifiers. You won class or you went home.[/QUOTE]

Thats when drag racing was real racing......not the over price bracket crap going on today and YES I towed a long distance to places like Gainesville and Bowling Green Ky. along with a few others and lost in the class run offs or a class final and had to watch or head home to improve my performance. I admired the class winners and NHRA did a good job at tear downs back in the day. Not this 1000 foot shut off s$$t thats being done today. Class winners only in the eliminator style of racing would make the AHFS work a lot better and faster.(Blown Fords anyone?). Wont happen though......Its all about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ from entries. My 2 1/2 cents.

I guess you were stationed at Fort Hood. I have to agree Little River is one of the Neatest tracks in Tx. Who would have thought the pecan sap from the trees would make such good traction compound. And yes Jerry they still race there every weekend.

Sorry to jack the thread a little bit. But out of all the divisionals and national event I have been at with friends running stock or super stock, there are a few things I have never bothered to figure out. Do you or did you used to get points or money for qualifying 1 at a div or nat event? Are class run offs just at national events? Are Class run offs related to the actual eliminator at each race, or separate from? Are class run offs ran at every national? What do you get for winning class run offs? Wally? Money? Also are you able to switch classes thru out the season, like go up or down a weight class? Do you just specify which class you are running when you feel out your tech card at each race?
