Thats the way it used to be and we had LOTS of cars for class. No...I never won class but I did get runner up a couple of times and Im proud of that. I should have worked harder.....LOL.
P.S. This is one reason the AHFS dosent work the way it should. If it was class winners only the HP factors woud be corrected in just a few months.

Terry,

I was under the impression that most guys did work pretty hard on their combos. Look at the car counts now. They're not so great. If stock and super stock ever went back to the old structure the participation would be even worse. You prob had more guys show up for class back then, because it was cheaper to race. Alot of people have a hard enough time anymore more being able to afford putting gas in their tow vehicles to get to the races. Maybe you should start your own sanctioning body. Then class winners could run the eliminator, you could run off the record, you could be a tech guy again, and race the way it used to back in the 70's.
