Re: Carolina Class Racers Association
All of these ideas have merit. From a points keeping standpoint we have been using the Roxboro points system where you get 3 entry points and 1 point for each round won. That way if there is a large field you get more points if you win. If you win when there is a small field you don't get the same number of points as a larger field would. Whatever we do we need to keep it simple as most people involved with this will be on the track and not in the tower.
I really like the trophy idea and feel like $5 off the top of the entry to go towards the trophy cost would be the easiest way to raise enough money to pay for them. Does anyone have any idea what they cost?
A gold card is an easy way to reward the champion, it would just reduce the payout by $75 but that's really not an issue if we are drawing in 25-30 cars per event.
I'm not sure about seperating stock and super stock, I guess we need to discuss this w/ track operators to see how much of an inconvenience it would be. The approach we have taken at Roxboro is that we don't want to be a burden on the track, we are there to help them make money not cost them money and time. There are a lot of good ideas regarding pairing on a ladder, another option would be to draw numbers in the lanes prior to the last time run for your qualifying spot.
I'm not sure if we can weigh cars for heads up runs because very few tracks have permanent scales and we don't have temporary ones to use. That may be something that could happen either down the road if this grew to the point where we could buy scales or if someone donated them. There are a few tech people in the area that we could possibly hire but there again all of this costs money.
