Re: SRAC Meeting in Gainsville
Maybe more of the tracks need to take lessons from the Bader's. I went to my first race at Norwalk last year for the divisional. I was absolutely amazed on the number of spectators there. Even though it was raining, and with a forcast of rain for the remainder of the evening, there was a line of cars trying to get into the track, just to watch. Hundreds of them. The Bader's know how to put on a show.
And eliminating the super classes, and throttle stops. That'll make a lot of Don Davis roadsters worth nothing. It's way too hard to keep the front end down on one of them running flat out, unless you are running a low hp motor. Had a 937hp 632 in it, had to move the instant center in the rear forward, drop the wheelie bars way down, plus launch at only 3200 rpms when running flat out to keep the car under control. Any higher launch rpm and it would carry the wheels 100ft, and by that time, who knows which direction you were pointed. On the stop though, I could launch off the converter if I needed to. Personally, I like the super classes, probably because I know how difficult it is to run them and be competitive. At US Nationals, I might watch the pros once the whole weekend, but watch 10 times the amount of sportsman rounds.
