If you have a fast car it makes sense to try to run a class that has the largest amount of cars in it for a higher chance of getting a heads up. When I started racing, I would say I was around the middle of the pack in my class. I obviously didn't look for heads up runs, but heads up runs keep Stock exciting. There's nothing like seeing two cars prep for a heads up run, and they both leave on the back bumper. It's always a shocker when somebody thinks they have somebody covered and lays back on the tree then the opponent picks up .30 and wins on a hole shot. I have received and had a scenario like that happen to me. It seems there are fewer and fewer people who build their own cars , but I think the ones that do (myself included) take great pride in doing so and enjoy competing and sometimes outrunning some of the cars that were professionally built.

To add to what Cooter said, last year at the Charlotte fall race there were 2 heads up runs in the same round. The 2 guys that won those rounds didn't have a chance in hell if you would've asked anyone there including them! That's what makes these races exciting and fun to watch.
