Eliminators with multiple classifications and performance indexes within the same category utilizing a handicap start system.

Here is my take.
Class racers have a specific set of rules that you have to follow. Body type, engine type, weight, tire size etc. no delay boxes. HC start. Set indexes and qualified order Bracket racers have mostly only safety rules to follow. Any body, engine and weight. TS and TD might have a min weight. delay boxes and power adders. Random pairing Index racers have weight and index rules that have to be followed. Any engine, body, specific weights, throttle stops delay boxes. Heads up start. Random pair round one. set indexes Pro and Semi Pro also have specific rules that have to be followed. engine size and chassis type, weight, fuel type, pro tree Stock, SS and Comp are class racers TS and TD are bracket racers SG,SC and S/St are index racers Pro Mod, TAD and TAFC are semi pro (technically Sportsman) TF,FC, Pro Stock, Pro stock MC are professional classes

The terms, "Class" and "Category" get mixed up and misused all the time, which leads to a lot of this confusion on what a Class racer is.
Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, Pro Stock Motorcycle, Top Alcohol, Top Dragster, Top Sportsman, Comp Eliminator, Super Stock, Stock, Super Comp, Super Gas, Super Street are all Categories. Not Classes. A/S, G/SA, SS/D, GT/HA, A/SM, D/ED etc., are Classes within their Category. If you race in a Class, you are a Class racer. Period, end of story. |

Seeing you forgot/left out Bracket Racing. I would find it interesting to hear your take on that category. It does have different classes. I assume that we don't count because we don't bracket race at the Divisional/National level. Although one bracket class does race at the Divisional level. 1700/STY/781L ![]()

Or even in Land Speed Racing, which is mainly displacement-based. So no, bracket racing doesn't have class racers. |
