Re: 1975 Index System
Goin, I believe there is room for all racing just remember SS and S at a points meet is a sunday of Bracket racing our expensive complex Class cars. Even often refered to when Tech is questioned as "dial in anyway so what matters"
My only concern is that with time it has become the ONLY way to race these cars at many events.
No, only one class wont work BUT where are we now? I forget 120 classes? A place for everyone. (so far, now it is Snow mobiles in Div 3)
Is there a reason why the segment who wish to beat someone for a class trophy and pride of being the fastest of one combination should be given less and less opportunity to do so? In honesty why would people really build a "legal" short block to run points meets? should they have one for dial in and save the good stuff for INDY?
It would not stop them from letting off at 1000 ft or driving with you to win.
I think many of you or us spend too much money NOW on cars that only play the dial in. Sure its 1.00 under the index but .....
Again No to one class, No to expensive cars. No to only heads up, but examine why you buy .020 Dykes rings and small journal cranks to be on the qualifying sheet when you only run against the clock you dial and it can be slower for a cheaper short block, or heads or you name it. If you spend the money to be a rocket why not SHOW it against a person who has the same car THAT day, not a different car
I actually support a LIMITED motor car like it all started which can race both ways but with MORE chances to compete heads up too.
