Class versus brackets winning a round

[THE LEGEND]

My thoughts are:
Class racing is just a bracket race that cost way much more than a bracket race. Kinda like bracket racing for show cars.

Chip,
If you are talking about the cost of the actual race/event then you are partially correct. However, if you are talking about the cost of the entire racing operation then I strongly disagree, Class racing can be as cheap or expensive as you want it to be, just like bracket racing. Yes, if you go the inexpensive route, you will probably get whacked in a heads up run, unless you go the Bob Dennis / Bob Shaw route, and do your research to find an under factered car. In this case, you can do well, or even crush your opponents in a heads-up run. However, if you just have to run a Nova/Camaro/Mustang/Challenger/Duster of the 60s/70's vintage, then you better bring your "A" game...and your wallet to the race. Your choice. Ask Ed Fernandez or Daran Summerton about their cars. Daran has been pretty darn fast in his old U car. To each his/her own.

How much does a 4.60-5.50 bracket car cost?

The biggest difference is the rules. Personally I like working within a given set of rules and racing against others who hold my same values, to me that is the challenge.

I see Chip is wearing his Snell 2010 helmet and Kevlar firesuit today...

Wow, I couldn't have said it better. This is why I am building my car to race.

Wasn't until they dumbed it down with soft indexes.

Hit the indexes another .80 and you'll still be bracket racing, just with less cars. Yippee.

They aren't bracket racers. They are CLASS racers... Apparently there is a difference...

Bill,
Compare apples to apples here.
There are stockers for sale all day long and the majority are $20,000 up for a 9 inch tire no-electronics race car.
A 9 inch tire bracket car is half that price.

Yes a 4.50-5.50 bracket car will cost you much more than that. I will give you that point in the argument.

Let me ask you a question. When you converted over to a BBC how much did that motor cost you? In fact I think you have one for sale don't you. I will bet you 75% of the no electronics cars around here cost less than your motor!!!
