Just an idea. Don't shoot me Ed

Mr. Fazio - What you are proposing doesn't make any sense .If there are fifty cars in your eliminator you must be prepared to race any of the other 49 to win .It realy doesn't matter who you race in round one or the final - you must get past all of them at some time . And if you feel you can't win before round one even starts you probably won't . If ladder games are so important you may join in also - if you can't beat 'em - join 'em .From where I sit the big advantage comes from getting or not getting heads-up runs .That stuff about looking for a duck first round - sometimes those quakkers will bite you in the butte .And there are very few that can't run the index today unlike 30 years ago .

As for those who think that racing a modified / non-traditional 160mph S/S 'er is so cheap - jump in and find out for yourself .If its easy you'll be glad ..........

One last thing - if you took all of the Modified / GT type cars out of SuperStock it would be gone ........and quickly .Remember - drag racing is still based on two basic principles - get a light and run the number !

Jack it seems you misinterpreted the point of my post. I don't know where I said racing a modified/non-traditional 160mph S/S'er is cheap? Also, I separated modified and GT so your last sentence doesn't reflect anything I said. Ladder games - they don't bother me but they seemed to upset a lot of other people so I just showed how it would get rid of them altogether.

If you read my first post I was aiming at increasing parity among the cars in later rounds and make for an exciting first round from a fan standpoint.
