Re: More classes added to Div 2 LODRS events
 

Im sure there would be a 7.50 class and/or an 8.00 class for those who dont want to run T/S or T/D. It would only make sense and be good business for the racing association.

Looks to me as though a clueless DD got roped into this with no conception of how all of the eliminations are going to be accomplished!
Without a doubt these classes will have designated run times while S/St, SG, SC, STK and SS are fill-ins as they are for TS and TD!

Enough of this BS,
I race out of Div 2 and I like that, and if someone has made the decision to bring these Guy's in I'm OK with that to. But this is our game and not our playground. Someone made the decision and we need to respect that untill it becomes a problem. Trust me, we can make it a problem if need be. What's a 100 more cars going to do- nothing ! If the schedules are relatively the same. I've raced at many divisional open events and they have integraded Et events too. All you guy's are assuming all these issues and half of you don't even race at these events. Lets look at the Big picture here, the tracks need more $$, and how are they going to do that = New programs! No Brainer to me. Trust me If this is trial program and it becomes an issue I'll be the 1st one to let NHRA to know.

Chuck why don't you say how you really feel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know what I like about you *&*#(*@( ?&#&.....See you @ Bradenton?

Re: More classes added to Div 2 LODRS events
 

Friends like you and I sure don't need any enemy's !
Got Cabin fever up here freezing my *** off and I'm over it.
On the other hand I was just defending NHRA a little, sometimes we are all to quick to jump on the negative ban wagon. Just wanna race and put Tommy D's fires out !

Re: More classes added to Div 2 LODRS events
 

i hope div 1 doesnt add any classes , its a pain in the *** to get a decent parking space now.

Re: More classes added to Div 2 LODRS events
 

The car count is low in Division 2(but high quality).....they certainly couldn't fit it in up here....Div 3 or Div 1

We can't finish what we have now.....lol

Maybe you should come to Bradenton and be the "live reporter", would add to already good car quality and you can see first hand how running 13 classes goes. Whoever does report from Bradenton (Ken?) will have a very active thread!

Re: More classes added to Div 2 LODRS events
 

From what I understand Div, 2 will only be running the 10.0, 11.0, and 12.0 classes. 3 total. The rest will be run at the UnLeashed events. So that adds about 100 to 150 cars to the total car count IF they get 50 cars per class. If the tracks cant make money from the raping that NHRA gives them on these events it wont be long and there will be no points races to race at. They could save a ton of money and time for the real race cars by getting rid of the Alky cars that NHRA shoves down the track owners throats (or up the other end). Its one reason that Orlando, Fl. dosent have a points race there anymore. Carl is a S/S car kind of guy and it cost way to much to re do the track just to satisfy NHRA so they can run the track oilers. Just my 2 1/2 cents.

Updated info on the new index stuff:
www.nhradiv2.com/apcm/templates/divnews.asp?articleid=44103&zoneid=14

Just an outsider's perspective, but the thing index racing has that most super series stuff doesn't is side-by-side racing. That is more fun to watch two cars battle door handle to door handle all the way down versus the launch hard, then sit on the throttle stop, then go again which can be hard to understand for a spectator. And since Division 2 is trying to bring fresh faces into the game, why not give it a shot? As mentioned, if it becomes an issue on time I'm sure they'll know/hear about it! I'd guess these will be the lower end classes and will get the hot lap since the powers that be might figure "mostly bracket and street cars will do this; they can hot lap like a Saturday night deal."

Just my $.02
