:?: I think if you want to run a fairmont against a chevellr or a camaro against a dart. tube cars against tube cars - rails and altered against rails and altereds all heads up classes. build your motor, or buy one ,or use the one you have. you would have great raceing. some guys would be blowed away, but the competetors would go to the garage and come back and bust butt.

And this is why bracket racing was so successful........Simplicity, and everyone is equal!!! Mega-Bucks does not guarantee a winner....i started racing in the '60s, and got my butt kicked by 2-3 seconds every time I raced. i was just a high school kid racing a 55 chev in I/SA.....If bracket racing did not appear, I would have had distant memories of a lousy sport. As it is, I have done this my whole adult life, It feels great!! :lol:

:roll: Im not saying to get rid of bracket racing I think it should always be here. I would like to compete in a class 3000 or so lbs 550 ci 4 link heads up no breakout.( with rules to keep everybody competetive )

[quote=slowmotion] :idea: slomo you could head up the # 1 catigory looked like you already have 2 cars for that and did i see a tube car there.

:arrow: savoy bracket racing needs to stay just for all the reasons you said. but I was one of those persons who kicked butt by 2 or 3 seconds. I raced ss/c and held the record a couple of times and could run under the record slightly. we did not have lots of money but we spent every dime on our car and every second we had on the car and lover every second of it. im not doing this to make money. If I do win that will just make it that much sweeter.

:arrow: hey quater mile a pro tree (yes) if this could get started it would be successful. Im going to start a new post (heads up raceing)

claimer engines in drag racing? Yeah, that will work.

I know it wouldn't work. I was saying how the stock car guys try to even it up.

No way I would ever consider running a heads up class with the dragsters at our track. We've got guys capable of high 6's and alot of low 7 sec cars.

It would be just like it is now in the 10.5 classes...rules are open to interpretation and after awhile it would be ridiculous just like the 10.5 classes are. Where I race they run a Heads up class only a few times a year and it is on a 6.50 index no box. well pretty much every one of the cars that run that class are capable of much faster than 6.50

robsbird

:idea: well they race a ss/ah class its all hemis all heads up there is one guy who is usually the fastest, but he not always the winner. the 6.50 class has a breakout. what Im talking about doesn,t have a breakout. lets say that we on this sight try to make some guidlines to go by (rules). I will head up the catigory #3. Im going to make a new post subject catigory#3. some one on here with a rail head up catigory #1 someone with a tube cad head up catigory #2. make your post. no jumping up and down allowed. let see what we come up with. wright down your ideas before you post, keep everyone in mind that might want to compete.
