Which Eliminators contain Class Racers?

[Paul Merolla]

The terms, "Class" and "Category" get mixed up and misused all the time, which leads to a lot of this confusion on what a Class racer is.
Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, Pro Stock Motorcycle, Top Alcohol, Top Dragster, Top Sportsman, Comp Eliminator, Super Stock, Stock, Super Comp, Super Gas, Super Street are all Categories. Not Classes.
A/S, G/SA, SS/D, GT/HA, A/SM, D/ED etc., are Classes within their Category. If you race in a Class, you are a Class racer. Period, end of story.

Sounds good to me, hadn't thought of it that way.

This is the best explanation I've heard so far!

Seeing you forgot/left out Bracket Racing. I would find it interesting to hear your take on that category. It does have different classes.

I assume that we don't count because we don't bracket race at the Divisional/National level. Although one bracket class does race at the Divisional level.

Nothing but quibbling over semantics

Classes, in the sense we're discussing, are the way vehicles are grouped in order to handicap or set a standard for performance....as in Stock and SS are pounds per horsepower, and Comp is pounds per cubic inch.
Or even in Land Speed Racing, which is mainly displacement-based.
So no, bracket racing doesn't have class racers.
