Steve Polhill, "slow *** class winners?" I imagine some guys who race a car factored tightly by AHFS or really made in Detroit not on paper or without superceded parts could take offense a that statement. Are you against slow classes or ? just people who win with less that 1.0 under cars?
I believe Class Racing in S and SS is the true meaning of Sportsman racing. If you want to talk about Bye run winners or less than .5 under winners or classes created and only one car exists then thats different. Remember it is not a "fault" of the racer for being alone in class at an event. It is caused by the Vast number of classes created. The intent on one hand was to give people latitude but also attract entry paying racers to events to support the purse. Now with time that has shown to be a weakness and diluting Class racing. That should be corrected.Cut the numbers of classes to 1/4 or less. Then ALL classes should have competition and be even more entitled to be in the Eliminator.
Class Winners earn the right to be in Eliminator. If there are no races in too many classes then COMBINE classes. Fix the problem , dont create a way around it that removes the reward for class racing. Not everyone who enters can win Eliminator but with Class, many can gain recognition for their wins.
