NHRA/NMCA heads up vs bracket

Lynn A McCarty · 07-17-2013, 01:53 PM

I was at Joliet last weekend watching all the heads up racing. There was enthusiasm in the air.

Beginning of this year, I tried to sponsor a SStock/Stock combo where we ran practice Friday, heads up on Saturday, usual bracket on Sunday? I was consummately turned down.

Why is it they want 2 or 3 days of boring practice? NMCA has stolen the limelight that used to be in NHRA. There is absolutely no good reason for it. We could run one practice run and the rest is still practice only you are running heads up. If you don't want that just use it as a practice run, then resume the regular bracket race on Sunday.

I for one probably need the practice more than anyone, but 2-3 days boring. Girly men need to man up ;-)
