There was a lot of complaint when brackets became a mainstay of competition. I fully understand that the challenge became competing with the "clock", but I guess it was confusing since, to most people, the point of a race would be to determine which car is actually quicker?

How about the use of late model bodies in Gas classes? I know people like Skip Hess, Montgomery, Stone, Woods and Cook, and the Mallicoats were heros anyway, and everyone knew the cars were gassers, but I felt they started to look too much like a Funny Car.
