More to my point, the cars are not "stock". further you bitch and moan about the rules you don't like while turning a blind eye to the rampant cheating that has been going on for decades. Last like Frank, you think you have some superior knowledge and skill set because you are prepared to pull a head and/or a piston/rod.
The issue is not rather Stock eliminator is the pinnacle of drag racing. Rather, why does a .90 D-Bag such as yourself feel compelled to live on the Stock/Superstock Forum?

Seems as though the "Truth" and "Facts" suggest you are one hell of an attention starved loser

My original comment is that bracket racing is the only real beginners class, be it trophy, street, jrs what have you. But that it is not an nhra class.

A fact is indisputable. Facts can be objectively verified and proven through evidence. Facts are not decided by how many people believe in them. They are concrete realities that don’t change. Facts are determined by objective, not subjective, measurement. As evidence mounts, facts become irrefutable. Over time, we acknowledge facts. We don’t create them.

Opinions, on the hand, are value judgments that expresses a feeling or view. They may or may not be supported by facts. Opinions rely on assumptions and are exceedingly dependent on the perspective of those holding them. They are also highly temporal and can change quickly when new information or facts become available. A deep commitment to an opinion doesn’t make it any more or less accurate.

Truth is created by people to describe how things really are. They are best described as a state of belief that is thought to represent a universal reality. We decide what truths we are willing to believe in. Truths don’t have to be logical or verifiable. They simply have to be shared. They can arise from faith, commitment, or experience. When like-minded people agree as to a given reality of how things are, then a truth emerges.

Really? Considering you and I haven't had an in person conversation in at least 10 years,, so your claim is just that. I and I alone decided we would try super comp in 2017 and with the help of my friends Scotty Albrecht and Shawn Fricke, we've done very well!

Pay no attention to me I don't care, simply ignore my posts or block & press on. But you can't, you have to reply to make yourself feel better.

A clown is much better than being a 1320racer forum(s) Idiot. That has to hide behind alias screen names on different forums.

Spring Fling Million race(s), I've done pretty well the 3 years entered. While you can only sit back & keyboard race about it. You could enter the same as I, but you & your Firechicken are scared.

You could have found me out West or even in the Mid-West & East coast, I didn't hide that I was coming. Again, you were busy being a keyboard loser/warrior.

Get with the program & stop being a loser/buffoon in the compete seat of your chicken little car.

You haven't won Pro ET at the Vegas Fling ever, you are just an also ran!

Further, you've only competed at the LVMS Fling because it's in your backyard and your home track. You have never competed at any other Fling race...this side of the Mississippi Bristol, Galot or National Trails nor any other notable big $ race hosted by any of the known promotors.

Again, you're a nobody and a clown!

Thank you for trying to talk about the subject at hand. I think sportsman, pro, s/pro is the real beginner classes that spring board you into the NHRA sportsman ranks should you choose to. To go .90 or S/SS racing is a big jump from running your local bracket track. Not necessarily competition wise but money spent, travel, time off work, nicer/faster/upgraded car, better tow rig for long trips and camping. I'd say there isn't a beginner NHRA sportsman class but if I had to choose I'd still say SST because of I reasons I've already stated like low cost of building a competitive car etc.

How about we expound on this, which is ,in fact, the subject of this thread.

That's essentially what I said a bit ago. I agree with the statement.
