Default Re: How would you SAVE CLASS RACING ???

Thanks, Bernie.

Yes,I'll make a suggestion:
Don't use a stick of dynamite to kill a fly.

If the singles are a problem to the manufacturers, then just put them in the four groups and run them off for a lil' wally and the cash.
Easy enough, right?

Now what's with all the 4 races, eight races, 12 , points ,Nat'l champ, whatever?
That deal has a big imbalance built into it that just favors Dan and a few others that go to a lot of races. They should just try the singles combo at first.

It will do nothing else but discourage several more racers that just like to go out a few times a year to a race near them,win class, pay for their entry, and take a shot at the eliminator.
After they're gone ,NHRA will just raise the entries and fees some more on the ones who haven't gone wobbly yet.

This does nothing to save class racing, the way I see it. It just runs off a few more budget racers.
