Jeff and all others,
You still can't explain to me how this will educate any spectator the formula for running S/SS. Everyone has said that Rich and PINKS have no desire to run any type of bracket style race. We don't run class at every event and as far as national events that number is getting even smaller. Like it or not the system set by the HRA's is a handicap start dial in race. It gives any competitor a chance at winning because it evens the playing field. The excitement is watching another car try to run you down or vice versa at the stripe without going too fast. If you want to educate the average person on what we do' you have to show them how we do it. You can't tell them that "oh come to a divisional or national event but expect everything to be totally different". As I said before PINKS is fun if you don't mind going out and spending 60 bucks to make a few time trials. But don't expect to get picked and race for the money because there is less than a 10% chance you do.
