How about buy-backs in stock and super stock

[cicero819]

Before anyone cries out sacrilege or let's burn him at a stake, I have to say with the dwindling of cars at events this might be worth while looking into this type of multiplying cars at the events. All first round runner up would have to run the same, I personally think that this might help.Now think about it… mmmmmm a second chance to rectify that last run. Something to think about.Claude

One of the local tracks has buy backs. I don't mind but I think it should be for a losers bracket. I said that. Losers bracket. A chance to be the best runner up.

No way; if you lose, you go home.

How about first and second round buybacks and you can buy a Mulligan too and use it only if you need it....and you can double enter the same car...


Like down in N.C. at some of their 1/8th mile tracks.....takes about nine-ten rounds to finish a race that had 30-40 cars to start.

You beat the same guy 3 times and lose but he wins anyway...LOL

Makes perfect sense to me.....about like World Cup Soccer......dumbest thing I ever seen....lose but by just a little so you still move on....

In the interest of fair reporting, 40 cars with 1st AND 2nd Round buybacks plus a mulligan is still an 8-round race. Not many tracks offer mulligans (thankfully), and most tracks use either 1st "or" 2nd round buybacks or 1st round only.

Bracket events that utilize the Re-Entry style of buybacks (1st Rnd only), where buybacks race each other in a separate round, with only winners advancing to Round 2, make it so everyone has to win the same amount of rounds to win the race. Generally speaking, with this format, there has to be around 190+ cars to make it a 9-round race.

All that being said, I agree: No buybacks for S/SS racing.

It was just an exaggeration Michael to show how ludicrous a race can become with this type of format....

I totally understand why races are run this way and for those that are happy running a race like this I say have at it....

Promoting your races on here has nothing to do with this thread.....

Pay Ken if you want to advertise.....instead of sliding it in a thread that has nothing to do with your races....

[Rich Biebel]

I sure hope you are wearing some sort of fire proof suit because dude you are going to get burned here....LOL

Stocker racers don't buy into things like buybacks.....and car counts in Stock are usually the highest of all categories so your way off base here....

and although SS has lower car counts I would predict they are even more opposed to buybacks.......

Not a chance in hell!

If you asked the super class index racers, most would be in favor of buy backs. Stock and SS racers, a very different breed, and in my opinion, very much against buy backs. That being said, I am sure the responses here will be very interesting to say the least...........................

[Mike Carr]

No to buybacks. If it were a 'second chance' race, for all first round and/or second losers for an extra shot at money in their own race, I would be OK with it. But, not putting them back into the next round of the main race. Leave that for local bracket racing.
