Default Re: Super Classes Future

I can recall a few years when S/C was almost always over 100 cars and as high as 140 cars at E-Town one year as it went 8 rds to win. S/G car counts have been down as was S/S for quite a few years. Stock was about the only category that was up a fair amount the last few years. There were events where Stock had over 128 cars and one that was over 150...MG just a few years ago.....A S/G car became very expensive to build so many people opted for a dragster for it's ability to win at both S/C and bracket racing. I think the Super classes have become stagnant and boring even to those that have raced it a lot....ME included. Speed up the indexes.......maybe it would help.......Makes no sense to run the same indexes for 20+ years and the HP levels are up by almost double in some cars....In the '80's a S/G car went 140.....That is not even a good speed for a S/ST car today.....'Stopping a 1000+hp motor down to run 8.90 9.90 or even10.90 is a rediculous way of racing.......thats just my opinion.....and me and my opinion are running brackets here and there......and running what I got for HP wide open.......When I get more "motor" and HP in my car,maybe next year, I will run T/D at a few races......
