I believe it's important for NSS to maintain that uniqueness and be seen as more than regular bracket racing, to have something of that old-time class structure. |
I agree -- and I also feel like it is more difficult to run Class than it is to Bracket Race -- making it a more interesting race, and often rewarding the driver who has acquired that skill. I have worked hard to learn how to race in a NSS car, making Class Racing an advantage for me and Bracket Racing a disadvantage for me personally. So I guess it is both NSS tradition (which I generally resist changes to) and advantage, which makes me prefer Class Racing. Again, it most likely won't ever be a deal breaker for me -- but it certainly isn't my preference.
My guess is that those who have the preference with Bracket Racing -- have done or do more Bracket Racing than Class Racing -- and the reverse being so for the drivers who mainly run NSS.
