Ed, we run 1/4 mile at the Bowling Green combos. There is a regular qualifying sheet and ladder, as well as the chance to run heads up if the sheet works out that way. The racers pretty much police themselves, with help from the track. There are scales, and they are used. There are plenty of really fast cars, and racers who know if there's anything "hinky" about a run.
There's everything from a V/SA Chevy II to a SS/B Corvette. Plenty of Mopar and Ford racers, too, all with fast cars and good drivers. Record holders, as well as divisional and national champions are found in the pits regularly. Win a Bowling Green combo, and you're a serious contender anywhere.
The track is good, the entry fee is cheap, the staff and the racers are friendly, and the food is decent and fairly priced.
The Saturday races are run with qualifying in the afternoon and the eliminations evening, the Sunday races start earlier.
There is often a test and tune going on, as well as a bracket program. For 2011, a Super Gas program is almost certain to run with the combo as well.
