Re: Interesting Thoughts-- Future of Stk/SS
Since everybody seems to be dissecting Stock, let me throw in my 2 cents....
You want more HEADS-UP racing just listen to my plan....
No quotas in Stock and Super Stock at any National Event..
If you think that you can qualify enter the race and if not that's OK you can still race LODRS until you are.
32, 64, 128 car fields because Competition will sort it out....
Class winners only (OK if you need more cars to fill the fields add fastest qualifiers to the bottom..
The more popular national events will need larger fields..
It's hard to head-up races at a national event with Class Eliminations when the quota is capped at 60 cars...
I believe that there are someplace around 80 different classes within Stock Eliminator..
If Stock and Super Stock are to continue to survive, heads-up racing with cars in the same class is needed..
The FS are OK but they should have to race their way into the eliminator by winning class or being a low qualifier to fill the open spots.
In 1985 at INDY we pitted alongside of a team that had raced at INDY for the last 4 years and this was the first time they qualified for Super Stock Eliminator. To them qualifying at INDY was the same as being World Champion.
It's got to mean something, or it means nothing..
Or am I just tilting at windmills??????
