Footbrake racing

Unfortunately I started this thread. I didn't mean to start this debate. I don't Footbrake the AMX because it's so cramped.
Lots of big dollar Footbrake racing here in the southeast. I mean real Footbrake racing. Footbrake racing down here is with no transbrake's and no staging or starting line in hancer's.
The main reason I race what we call super pro , that it pays more.
At our local tracks on a weekly basis super pro will have 60 to 75 cars and it pays $2000. Pro " Footbrake " will have 40 to 50 cars and pays $1000.
I have lots of friends that only run Footbrake and their cars run mid 5's in the 8th.
I will probably Footbrake and Box race my Dakota when it's finished. But people should run whichever they prefer. But don't knock the other class.
