Class Elim.'s

The "Eliminator" pairs all qualified cars of different classes (up to the limit of how many cars are allowed to run the Eliminator) to race "for the money," the purse that is awarded for a "Stock Eliminator win." There are handicapped starts based on each car's "dial-in" to allow for different cars' performance potential. The majority of NHRA national events will have 7 rounds of this type of racing, to determine who is the "Stock Eliminator" champ for that event.

Class Eliminations are different in that it is contested by only pairing cars that are in the same class, and running them "heads-up/no breakout" (first car to the finish line wins, period) to determine who has the quickest car/driver combination in that class. No handicaps are used for Class racing. It might be the last vestige of pure drag racing left in NHRA Sportsman racing.

Hope this clears up the difference in "Class Racing" and racing in "The Eliminator.
