Re: 2008 Mid Year Stock, Super Stock Horsepower Adjustments Announced
I gave up on Stock Eliminator. Well maybe for 2 more years. I checked out a 10K S/SS race in Div. 1.There were a few heavy hitters that were pedaling before the 1000' mark. That's nuts. Her's a solution to the problem. Since we don't get enough qualifying passes how about this. Everyone makes two passes within a 2-3 hour period. You don't get your time. Just like Pinks All Out. Then you get another 2 passes on the clock. Then after tech, eliminations begin. You run faster than your mystery time... your out. Will the supermen of our class be able to defeat this system? Maybe yes. Maybe no.There are two recent winners in S/SS , Mosbeck and Beard that bring home the dream of every S/SS racer that you don't need to run in the top of the class to make it to the finals and win. Every racer that I have spoken to wants to run all out. They do fear refactoring. Refactoring should be done on a yearly basis like before the new season. S/SS is not like Pro Stock. Not everyone is shooting for a 6.67. A 15.80 W/S is pitted against a 9.90 A/SA. The W/S car and driver must be on the money. The combo affords no wiggle room. The A/SA has power advantages but then again his/her budget is much higher. Do the higher class cars always wins? NO. Do the number of cars under "G" at a divisional event out number the higher class cars? Usually YES. How many events no longer pay for a class win. So break the class record. Get your name in ND. Be pround that you picked the right combo or your talented enough to find the extra HP or you died and went to heaven and have all the $ in the world to build a 50K P/SA. Run all out! No pedal racing! No fender racing! Just racing!
