One point I question is your belief that the more cars in a combo, the more heads up runs. I don't think thats true. Its the total class population that dictates the number of heads up runs not a combo population. A B/SA Camaro has no more chance of a heads up run than a B/SA Cuda but there are a lot more Camaros than Cudas.

But since there are a lot more B/SA Camaros, there's a far greater chance a B/SA Camaro will be in a heads up than a B/SA 'Cuda. It's pretty simple really. It's hard to find a field WITHOUT a B/SA Camaro, or for that matter, two of them. If you have a field of say 80 cars or so, and there are 3 B/SA Camaros, and the normal 1 or less B/SA Cuda's, which is more likely to get a heads up, A Camaro or THE 'Cuda? Or maybe I've got that figured wrong.
