Re: Question Please
I'd be okay with heads-up runs and scales at Combo races. I know fuel check would be far more difficult to do on such a small level (equipment, knowledge, resources, time), and I really don't think someone's got a drum of 10% Nitro sitting in the trailer just for a heads-up run at a little Combo race. :rolleyes: I think people pretty well police themselves on that level.
While I bracket race my Volare and Turismo, I very much enjoy running S/SS races for something different. While bracket racing the Turismo, I deep stage and use a stripe taker. At Fayetteville's S/SS Combo on Saturday, I'll be shallow, the stripe taker comes off, and it will be dialed welllll below the index! :D (Thank God for 1/4-mile racing, in this instance!) |
Re: Question Please
It would be nice to have some in our part of the country because all the No box races don't allow transbrakes. I can't even enter to get seat time/testing time. All I can do is go with the Electronics classes and that means only 3 time trials, if lucky) and one round of real competition. In my book, You guys that have S/SS Associations are very fortunate.

Re: Question Please
The one nice thing about no heads-ups (aside from being easier on me/us to do the races) is that being a millionaire or having the advantage of an underfactored combo is nullified. Anyone can compete, as long as it's NHRA/IHRA-legal, and can run the Index. These races, the average Joe Stocker guy can have a chance. When I polled a few racers in my series, they preferred that I leave it as is (and yes, some were fast guys/girls that love heads-ups). And like was said earlier, you can test, gauge yourself (though not 100% accurately) against fellow competitors, race with your peers, win some good money, have a better entry/payout than a Divsional race, and only need to take one, at most two, days away from home, and it's a low pressure, fun way to race without all the costs, points and xHRA hassles. I guess if you prefer the heads-ups and all that, there is still National/Divisional events.
Terry, I could have paid your in water/diet Coke/Gatorade and a premade cold sandwich, had I known that. LOL |
Re: Question Please
Personally...I can't run a two-step at a bracket race unless I run with top et...some/most tracks i can't run top et unless i run quicker that 7.99.
i would love to run more bracket races but my car is very finicky and trying to foot break it is very difficult for me at this point. so....i say that we have a LEGEND bracket race all run and just follow safety rules...i'm in! Chad: I got some extra room as long as I can drive on the weeks you can't make it! |

Re: Question Please
Chip,
I think that most racers will attend that race because of the Warren's, who do a great job putting on this race .... I am sure it has to do with getting car counts up & keeping everyone happy ... But racers do like heads-up and would add to the car count ... Chip, when will the new stocker be done , in time for 2011 opening day ..... Ha, Ha, Ha,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, |

Study those Super Stock Cobalts, and late model Camaros in Stock, and see what's hitting the finish line, the nose or the tire? And is that answer the same if the driver hits the brakes? Just stuff to be aware of. |
