Drive up to the gate, plunk down $500 clams, and they hand you a wally. Turn around and go home. No teardown, no AHFS, no wear and tear on your car, no lodging expenses. Track makes money and everyone goes home happy...

Ah yes, the ever elusive Wally. I like it .
Go on Friday, pick up your trophy, then haul yer butt to an association combo race..Visit friends , race for cash, and be home for Monday. Best of both worlds.

Yeah, hear Elizabeth Warren is advocating this policy.

It`s even less expensive to buy one off of eBay. Usually about $250.....

Most people that think this way usually can’t win one ..

There's actually a pretty good market on the small Wally's from people that don't even race.

Seems like I remember a couple of racers that helped finance their racing by Wally sales? I guess they get dusty after a while and it is better to turn them to green.

[QUOTE=SDT1DYI;602923]Interesting idea to add 5 to all indexes.


Make them half a second SLOWER?? Did I understand correctly?
Everybody runs under now, so we are simply bracket racing like it is.

I was thinking they need to be half a second faster.
Who can not run over half a second under now? If there are people who can not, maybe they need to work on their stuff harder?
