Year End Power For S/SS

Don't think so, back in the beginning it was all handicap racing, flagman, you got car lengths, unless you ran against your own brand. Most on here remember that I hope. Stock eliminator was not about heads up racing. Your index was the national record, No dial, but the little guy had no chance with that.
You wanna run heads up, go pro stock.
I know brackets are not the answer but something has to change.
NHRA is almost fed up with stock-super stock.

Mr. Coley, I was racing in the era you reference and we had to win class in order to run the eliminator. I ran a 53 Olds in J/SA in the early sixties and there might be six or eight cars in my class every week. Yes, the car length spots were bad but running heads up for class was enjoyable.
