Ron Good points about where to post etc. Thanks
Seems you do agree about the value of a bye run. I agree not fair to tell someone who works hard, shows up and has spent his cash you cant run because you are a single car class.
I am confused about the combining lower classes though. If you allow cars to remove wt to hit the class minimum and his hp is the same not sure why you think the ets will be that off. Maybe because of factoring problems to begin with?
Bottom line everyone is important to our S and SS racing. Tune up the AHFS ?
We would love to include GT in TOP/SS but with no light class its too big a stretch for the GT/AA cars to get that light or competitive. New Mustangs, New Camaros and Challengers would help the "show" value.
I would really like to have a Mid SS class heads up with Gt, and SS cars all running. Tough part is the hard part dealing with the factoring based on body style, trans, car color etc which has happened. Might be interesting but we had to start somewhere and hoped to attract the AH LARGE number of cars to join sooner rather than later.
Mid or Jr Stk will hit the bigger numbers of cars like Div1.
Final Question is would you like to have the opportunity to run your fellow class racers more often?
U/SA shoot out idea was awesome for Belle Rose two years ago.That kind of fun is what would be great in more classes.
