heads- up runs

[THE LEGEND]

Jeff'
I don't know whether you are a dumb ***** or a smart ***** but that was not the intention of the post. In fact thats one thing I enjoyed about class racing. I enjoyed trying to make my car go faster so I could win heads up runs when I had them.
I wanted to learn something here was the point of the question.
Observations
1) NHRA has a lot more heads up than IHRA
2) Div 1 and div 3 have a lot more than any other according to the racers.
3) There have been a few times when a racer has had multiple heads up in the same race.
4) I doubt 442 has had 50 in 10 years unless you are counting class Your post about Tueton winning Indy is dead on though. I remember going to Norwalk one year Beard had me covered 3 tenths or so. I remembered every rd I won I knew I could'nt when as long as he was still in. I get beat at5 and he made the finals.
5) I would think that most of you have only had a small percentage in actual racing conditions.
6) It really does'nt matter if so and so would have won that round you would have gotten another.

I don't really know where I'm going with this. I mean the possibility is always there so be ready. I do think that is the biggest difference between bracket racing and class racing.
Just remember everytime you put a dial-in on your window you are doing the same thing that JOE BRACKET RACER is doing at the home track on Saturday night.

Chip,Are you getting pissed off enough to build another class car? If so build it for both sanctions.

Yeah, like a SS/IA, SS/JA, GT/EA, GT/DA, or if you can't swing an SS car try a B/SA or a C/SA. Should learn about heads ups there.

Then start your first post with what you mean to say. Since you are always thumping your chest that class racing is NOTHING more than a bracket race, it would seem fit you are trying to rationalize heads-up runs out of the class. To me, you're looking for ammo.
Now if I'm wrong, and you really DO want to keep the class alive as intended, my apologies. But my analysis is based on your many posts that seem to try to dumb down the class. Smart ***** or Dumb *****, that's the way I see it.
