Re: S/SS combo @ BIR 2011
 

If you guys want a 2 day race you better drag your lazy -sses out there for a race or two to show this isn't a bunch of jaw-jackin. Why the heck should Jed and Kristi do anything different until we prove to them we are serious. Then, if we can do that, we can see about having two day races! As it stands right now, we had better thank our lucky stars we still have a place to race S/SS. If anyone has a problem with this please contact me and I'll give you a short lesson in Economics 101. Thank you, Joe Demers
THE BOX RULES!!!!

Re: S/SS combo @ BIR 2011
 

At TVD many have givin money to sweeten the pot, just because we what to keep a good thing going. If half the racers you have up there throw in 50 bucks for a points fund you have a couple of grand to give out at the end of the year. It is up to the class racers to keep a good thing going up there, remember a winner will say it may be difficult but I can do it, a loser will say its not my job. Tom

Hi all, in hopes of helping things runs more efficient for both BIR and those of you who will run our S/SS combo on Saturdays, hopefully join the Saturday Jackpot, race, and stay with us to run in our NEW and IMPROVED Bracket program here is some of what you all have been waiting to see in writing.
New Stock/Super Stock tech procedure 2011


Stock and Super Stock tech will be done from 9 to 10am Saturday morning at the scales.
- If you arrive after this tech period you will need to go through the standard tech process in the lanes and may miss qualifying pass/passes. –
- If you have been through the standard tech lanes for Fridays Test and Tune you are already teched for the entire event and can go to a tech official for your run sticker for your entry.
The line will move from east to west with cars passing over the scale as the final part of the tech process.
Tech will be done with the assistance of the racers and finished by a BIR tech official.
- This process has been created to allow the completion of the Saturday Stock Super Stock program efficiently and still allow the bracket program the full use of the racing surface for as much of the day as possible. -


We hope this change and the other improvements to our 2011 Drag Racing Program allow the S/SS class to grow and continue be a viable venue for all involved. Additional changes to the program will be posted shortly on the BIR website. http://brainerdraceway.com

Re: S/SS combo @ BIR 2011
 

Well here it is!!!
S/SS now has THERE OWN tech line!!!!!!
A ONE DAY RACE WITH 2 Q runs.
A $1200 pay out (with 33 cars)
There will be 2 people working to get you your tech. card & tickets
.
A run order will be in black and white with changes ONLY made as oil downs or weather cause them. (We will be notified by the P.A.)

The staging lanes will be run WAY FASTER THAN EVER.
(on the 3rd call the 1st pair Will be in the water) NO WAITING FOR 1 OR 2 PEOPLE ANY MORE!!! NO KIDDING!!!!
So PLEASE be ready!!!!!!!!!

We are going to pair ourselves for eliminations.
Q-sheets will be posted!
ladder will be posted!


I don't think that, this is that bad of a deal (for a track that had every reason in the world to drop our class) to give us!

On another note; the super classes have been dropped for the 2011 season at BIR.
The only reason S/SS was not dropped
IS because of all the input and concern expressed by everyone that signed up for the BIR racer committee on behalf of the S/SS racers.

The dropping of the super classes will however, free up some time and make things run smoother for everyone.

Lets all keep a positive attitude and look at the positive side of this deal.
Please try to support this race program the best you can.
We need to average 30 cars at every event for the year OR this deal will be gone next year.
That's all there is to it...so let's get some cars at BIR and have some fun again!
Thanks for your support!!

Glen DeMenge

Glen, you have taken ownership of a sometimes seeming thankless adventure. I wish you all the success. With the efforts of yours and other like minds I remain confident that stock/super stock racing will be around for a long time. Well, hopefully long enough that when I finally get my *%$# together I'll have a place race and meet some of the people from here. Doug

Re: S/SS combo @ BIR 2011
 

BIR is looking at the details for year end points and prizes.
I will post more as soon as I know what the deal is.
!!!!THINK SPRING!!!!

I hope that damn woodchuck was right!
I've had all the winter I can take!

Re: S/SS combo @ BIR 2011
 

Without ticking off my 'Super' Class friends, this was a smart move. No other track around runs S/ST, S/G & S/C at a Bracket event. This for sure will help with the overall program. No going from Full tree, to Pro tree, to .500 Pro tree. No waiting for S/C cars to burn accross the starting line, back up, play games staging and run. I sat in the tower at the September bracket race and timed things. I was amazed!
As well, I have heard rumblings that there will be NO crosstalk in Bracket 1. All these "tree" changes are what help cause 'computer' issues.

The improved Tech for S/SS sounds fantastic! Even with a specified time!

Only suggestion I might add, for Rd pairings...like we do at a lot of Divisional events, I'd randomly pick the first 2 pairs....this helps speed things up believe it or not.

Any word on the prorated payout Glen?

Re: S/SS combo @ BIR 2011
 

It sounds like you guys have a lot of BS problems at BIR ???? Dave Leys stock and S/S shows at Atco and the ones in Fl. seem to never have all your issues. WTF ! Just asking????

Re: S/SS combo @ BIR 2011
 

Travis, we will be using cross talk in superpro as we are following the et finals model for the bracket program. We also discussed the random picking of the 1st pair to run with Glen.
