Class versus brackets winning a round

Chip,

As you know, I finally finished my SS modified car. I am still a bracket racer, but enjoy the rules that come with class racing. The one thing that I do not like is when one racer decides to have a big d@#$ contest and hammers an index in ss for .5 when no other racer is even close, what was accomplished.. nothing just spending more money. And the best part is after the racer kills the index, does not run the class anymore. Thats ok, I'll dance around the ladder. Chip, dont waste your time trying to get class racers to respect bracket racers, they just don't get it. P.S. I have more $ in my modified motor than my new mullis w/ 555. Somebody told me once "SS water is just fine come on in!" LOL

Jim Caughlin, Sorry to ruffle your feathers by discussing Class racing. I guess sitting on the sidelines and reading posts prompted me to be curious about active opinions and thanks for yours. At least without a car I have nothing to gain by asking questions I dont mean any disruption to active racing. Just curious. Im sure if NHRA doesnt respond with action to active racers, my questions are unlikely to affect judgements...Thanks again.
I have had my class eliminated when 56 chevys went to SS. We sat out while I saved the money to convert and then continued to work and learn.
