Wait until you spend $50K and a couple hundred hours on a race car, only to get beaten with ease by a car with a bogus factor. Then see how your interest in the class fades.

If you happen to have a car that falls in their class I'm really sorry for you right now as far as class eliminations go. I'm very well aware of what goes into these cars as I have friends around here in it, but lets be realistic with class out of the equation your odds of running one in eliminations are slim. I can only think of 2 this year in stock, Kevin Helms' 3rd round win in Baytown and I believe Jeff Taylor over Robbie Shaw at the Gainesville LODRS. Could've missed one but that's all I can think of. Charlie Fitzsimmons and Jeff Teuton won nationals without the benefit of a heads up run just up on the wheel driving. I haven't followed the class eliminations closely so I know that's where your argument is at and can respect that.
