Thats counts for both types of racing no one in the stands.

no one wants to watch slow heads up stuff either!

[woodhauler]

So ... What are you trying to get at?

[mouthracer]

There has never been enough cars in the heads up class's to pay anything more than 250 bucks.
maybe 20 to a class 1100 1200 class
We can ask those on here what they won on there winning heads up class .
You know who won almost all the time 10,11,12 class's a :oBRACKET RACER.

Ill play dumber than normal .
If I run 10.50 what class do I run ?Do I run 11.00class lift and drive the strip? If I give up 50 or find 50 i'm screwed on either end .
The class's were so small the 3to 4 time runs ,became 6 to7 time runs .
Even when the program could have finished earlier after the proper time runs they stretch the program out to make it finish about the time projected to finish .
Watch the you tube vids and then look in the stands it says it all.

Bingo! We had a lot of fun in the 11.0 class. I'd like to see a bracket class for the cars that don't fit the index classes.

Dennis you sure like the heads up class's for a car they don't let race it for the past 3 years .
Have you ever said this outloud LOL
I understand being with dad and family having fun.
Tell us what Dad and Dusty won on the events .

Dennis P
Paul H
Aaron H
Jason P
Janie P
I know if they won the 8 races series they won tires.
John that being great also ,but does it pay the overhead for GIR ,I doubt it .

just read the posts ^^^^^ not really too much different then just bracket racing....boring in the eyes of a spectator.

as much fun as it is for us racers...it isnt gonna pay the bills. as a spectator i wanna see something fast, wheels up, close drag races. the big events ADRL, super chevy, fun ford, nhra, will draw the big crowds.

I ran the 12.0 class and if I remember correctly the entry fee was $25 (cheap) and $20 went to the track and $5 went into a pot that was split between the winner and runner up 70%/30%. I think the most cars we had in the class at any event was 22. The class champion did get a pair of tires from Mickey Thompson.

Then what they need is a 7.00, 7.50, and a 8.0 heads up no throttle stop classes. 7.0 Pro is getting to be a big thing with IHRA, cars running near 200 mph at the stripe.
