How are the new cars remaining in Stock classes going to affect your racing this year

[Larry Hill]

My car is off of Santa's list, I'm just not going to spend any more money on my "Dead Horse".

We will have "Live From" reports from very different places.

For those keeping score we drove 2386 miles one way to lose to Cour heads up fourth round in Seattle. On the way back we stoped at Denver to lose to Hagburg's "Paper Car" Nascar Hemi in the class final.

Yes I have an old dog in the hunt!!!!

I guess I have had it wrong for all these years. I always thought that the goal in this sport was to win on Sunday, collect the big trophy, the big purse and the decal money at $300 a copy. Getting a Rienhart interview appears to be fun also. Don't get me wrong, I can certainly respect the class win and the bragging rights........................... BUT............................... I think the BIG picture gets very lost on some of these threads.

He claimed a "heads up " lose and a "class final" lose. Whatever, this is not about Larry, never my intention. Bottom line, lots of talk about how the "new" cars have tons over the old school carbed stuff, and tons left to go. How about just race them on Sunday with your shoe polish for the BIG prize.

Any time people like Larry or us face the new cars, it's a lot more likely to be heads up than it is to be a shoe polish race.

I have asked it before -

Just how many races in the entire year during the eliminator are "heads up"?

I guess I will have to figure it out myself by going through all of the DRC stuff and figuring it out the hard way - by seeing who ended up in later rounds and looking at ladders

I know I can do it but I do not think it will make any difference to those that want it to be a big percentage of the time

My guess is less than 5% of the time is that to much?

In a round of 75 - 2 would be 2.6%

If I total all of the pairs from all of the rounds and divide by the number of heads up - would that be of any interest to anyone?

I doubt it but it will keep me from being bored again for a while

Since I am a computer genius - I will try to scan and OCR the information and import it into a spreadsheet.

Otherwise I will just sit and hand enter it - may not end up being perfect but it will be very dam close

Ron less than 10%. That is something I was keeping track of in 2010
