There are at least three groups, it seems. One group thinks anybody that qualifies top half of the ladder is a rich, d**k swinging show off dirt bag that has no life because they like to work on their stuff and see how fast they can make it run. The clowns actually like heads-up races. What's wrong with them?? They think the only good people are running flat out on the bottom half of the qualifying ladder, between beers and watching ball games on TV.

Another group likes to run heads up, take pride in making their cars run the best they can, and run it flat out, qualify as high as they can, think the indexes are too soft because you can make a decent combo run under with not a whole lot of effort (if you know what your doing) and don't think it should be dumbed down so just anybody can take just any (wrong) car and be competetive.

Third group has fast cars, are good drivers, sand bag during qualifying to pick their spot on the ladder, and like to chase those points.

All good guys with different points of view. I have good friends in all three groups. Everybody seems to get along well at the track. I have heard no bickering at the track like you see here.

It's just the internet. Get that car finished.

I have to admit, the guys that post on the Stock/Superstock area of the is forum can be a bit depressing....but it dawned on me that its because they love stock and superstock....at the track none of this occurs....I never really knew what they were talking about....until I started running a class car....now I see....And to see the look on the guys face that you race in class when you beat him....you start to understand why we do this....

I read the posts on this site to learn...(and to make sure that if its directed at me...its the truth)....But I don't have any interest in bracket racing at my local tracks.....I did it for years...now I want to race at divisionals and nationals....and certainly in class eliminations...

I wouldn't know what else I would do.....so finish the car

One more thing....the 2008 CJ is a horrible car...I don't think anybody should build one for

Super Stock.....lol

This is why racers would be incapable of running their own sanctioning body. The first time anyone mentions rules or money chaos would rein supreme.
Its just the way it is.
