Stock Class at Mile High
 

Can someone explain to me how the first round of Stock for class was going to the car that came in 2nd under their index? It is a staggered start by index and the first one to the finish line is not the winner. Please explain what I am missing.

Never mind. It was something goofed in the NHRA timing system. They had it completely backwards as evidenced by the C/SA heads up and the second round that was posted on DRC.

I'm glad you saw that two. I thought I'd lost my mind!

Re: Stock Class at Mile High
 

Seems they are set on breakout racing. I didn't think that was possible..til now.

Re: Stock Class at Mile High
 

Same thing happened in the AA/SA race. They had the correct winners show up for the 2nd round it showed, but I am surprised the announcer didn't pay any attention to what was happening.

NHRA has to re-think running class at Denver,only 27 cars this year why even bother. gsa612

Run class at divisional events and ”Alla / kazam” no more need for a Low car quota at National Events.. and a good reason to go to divisional events besides “GRADE POINTS “. I don't know but it looks like an idea.. ?

Re: Stock Class at Mile High
 

I've said it before: What is the sense of running class with such low quotas and/or car count. Was it meant to be an 'insentive' for entries or just misplaced priorities and $$$?

The numbers posted on the FS1 broadcast yesterday showed a Density Altitude of over 9000 feet! Are numbers like that why folks don't go there?

Re: Stock Class at Mile High
 

Not everyone wants to install oxygen systems in their cars. You can not fly an airplane above 10,000 feet legally without an oxygen system.

Re: Stock Class at Mile High
 

No, 9000 isn’t as bad as it can get, fairly easy tow, picturesque settings,lots to do in area, great eating places near track, wonderful owners, linear pits although tight, same for many years, sloped staging

You accept the altitude

My guess and for me, after racing at many tracks, Bandimere’s dirt/asphalt shavings pits so far from the action is just too much to endure as one ages

I’ve had 2 wins and 2 ru there, you’d think it would be a priority race....no

Was looking for the ladder and see they are getting a fourth Q this morning. Winning combo just how many runs does Bagley get to make? LOL. Seven runs before eliminations, has to be a record for non-Indy National event.

When Topeka first opened we had 5 time sessions, one on Sunday morning (race day)

My PerformAire read 10,350' yesterday. Today will be at least 10 degrees cooler.

Re: Stock Class at Mile High
 

Coming from the West I 70 sucks for towing over the hill, but with limited tracks, we don't have much of a choice..

Re: Stock Class at Mile High
 

Agreed 100%,a good place to start would be Brainerd seeing the points meet is a week before the National.NHRA would still get 60 cars at the National regardless.I see your trying to get in,hope you can. gsa612

Re: Stock Class at Mile High
 

I can’t fathom why you would ever want less races with class. Let alone put that suggestion on a forum that nhra reads. You don’t speak for me, nor would I hope, the vast majority of class racers.
For crying out loud, we should be universally advocating more races with class.
I really don’t get some of you guys.

Re: Stock Class at Mile High
 

Congrats to Bill Bagley for winning that 10 car auto combo class! Car and driver doing great in that thin air.

Re: Stock Class at Mile High
 

I don’t see any downside to having class elims? Even if the car count is low.
In fact I would advocate for class elims at Division races even if there was a charge to participate.

Re: Stock Class at Mile High
 

Just a slightly different mix of classes and it could have been one massive combo. That would have been kind of a cool race.

You would have a throwback race where you raced off indexes for class then the regular race. Almost two races in one.

Re: Stock Class at Mile High
 

^^^I agree with this guy^^^ I'm real wet behind the ears with this stuff but if anything we need more class at national events AND they need to be added to divisionals. As mentioned, even if it were an extra tech card.
