Re: How would you SAVE CLASS RACING ???
Lower the contingency sponsor fee to $250 for the administration fee. Only have sponsors pay for what is won for class and or the eliminator.
Have the product registered with the sponsor in their data base.
Verify that product decals are displayed.
View falsification of product use as a serious rules infraction carrying a penalty of 90 day suspension for first offense.
Enforce the rules as written. When rules infraction are noticed ,competitors should have a choice on fixing the infraction. Fix it now and race or go home and fix it before the next race. This should eliminate discussion on east coast, west cost rule books.
It is the racers responsiblity to comply with the rules.
Remove and or correct mistakes made by tech. department that gives a combo a distinct advantage. IE. Reduction in stock crank pin size from 2.437 dia. to 2.200 dia.
Class winners first, then the remainer of 128 car field filled by higher qualifers. This will help us keep our diversity in the eliminator. People in the stands enjoy seeing new, old and differant.
Get the Hp. correct on all the new cars. Yes tech. missed it the first time. You know how bad it is when Dan Fletcher changes combos mid year so he can try to provide for his famliy. Dan qualifed 129 at Indy this year.
Bottom line: treat the sponsors fairly and thank them for there financial support they give to the class racer.
