I'm not fond of the weight to wheelbase deal. I like the NA class and the Power Adder class idea though.

And another thing if you get This going. Don't race in your own race. Just sit it out and run the show.

I think heads-up is more fun. We all build the best bikes we can. We do this to go as fast as we can. I think stock bikes are boring. If I were to run in a index class I would just get a stock bike and run in the slowest class (boring IMO).

With Heads up racing anything can happen and usualy does. Often ,when the bike set-ups are competitive, the underdog wins. The underdog wins because his riding skill are sharped due to racing guys with set-ups better than his. While the guys with the best set-ups are use to picking easy races and relying more on horse power than skill.

I agree about index racing because it does not really excite me either. I mean I find it hard to believe that people would spend thousands in a bike to actually dial in a time slower than what its capable of. I think that in some heads up classes like Realstreet the wheelbase rule needs to be looked at a little closer. IMO

I seen Ryan Schnitz run 7.24 or something to that effect on a HTP bike this weekend at Bristol . i didn't see you there running him heads-up ..

Ya I'll admit it's way more exciting to watch, but if you could just get the bikes to show up no one would ever have to race index racing.
Also another thing if there was a race and you showed up and I was gonna enter I'd save my money and just TnT, I can't run with a 7.90 bike and I'm sure many many others will do the same. That why heads up has such shitty turn outs, people don't want to lose before the race even starts..

1BAD, you always talk shit and dump useless comments in everyones threads but you raced Bristol this weekend along with the other 10 people so now you are an expert? Ryan is arguably one of the fastest guys in the world and rides for one hell of a team. So no...I did not run Ryan heads up but I have in the past and yes he did beat me back in the day in 600ss and yes he still holds the record in that class. Would I run him heads up? Yes! Would I win? Probably not. He won the last Mirock race with an 8 second pass because shit happens in heads up racing. I have entered many index races to support the sport but racing heads up is much more exciting in my opinion and will always draw a bigger crowd and that is a fact. NHRA races are all heads up and whats on TV? What fills the stands? I don't see huge crowds running towards the stands when index classes are running either. Why? Because its boring to watch some dick on 13 second bike race a 9 second bike and wins! Hey, when its all said and done if I was 250lbs I damn sure would not be racing heads up either. Opinions vary but should I get blasted because I personally think index racing is boring? I would hope that we can all agree that heads up racing is way more exciting to watch?
