Z-MAX car count

KEN BUGAJ · 09-17-2009, 06:03 PM

Bruton builds a Palace and no cars.
NHRA needs to try Crate Motor cars !
The car count would be 100 or more, not 67.
I know of 30 or 40 cars in the area.
Some really nice cars!

OK, beat me up ,,,,,

Ken
not having super stock elim prob hurt and
all the talk about the police harassing racers can't be helping the situation.
A four day race at a facility that large shouldn't need to drop a class
just my opinion

In North Carolina races dump Stock an put in Super Pro .........:-)

Hi Angelo,
Yeah, No Super Stok was a bad move.
As far as the police harassing, I have never had a problem in NC. Just one time that I caused. lol
It's a super facility, I hate to see it not used.

I don't understand not having Super Stock in the heart of Super Stock. I agree with the comments about not having problems with the security personnel. When we were there we stay three days and two nights inside the track. It was a party all three days. Cook-outs every where. Cool night to stroll through the pits and every security person you met was very cordial.

I guess in North Carolina some people just don't get it.

Not sure what you mean by that...explain?

As I have mentioned before, there are no NHRA races w/in a reasonable tow to get grade points. There are 6 IHRA division races and 2 national events (no grade points required) in the state so everyone pretty much races locally. If Zmax had a national open and a division race it would surely help their car count as the locals would be able to get a couple of grade points and then we could run the national events. There are usually 300 cars at the division 9 race at Mooresville which is only 30 miles from Zmax (if that far) and I'll bet maybe 20% of those racers are there this weekend. That means there are a couple of hundred sitting at home watching on the computer like me.
It's a shame we, the locals, can't support Bruton...I enjoyed it last year when they included super stock in the fun!

If the event does not reach the quota, you do not need even one grade point to enter.

Alan,
I was told you have to have 1 grade point regardless. If it was 0 I would've went.

I've been told you have to have a minimum of 1 also. Most guys/girls don't even have NHRA licenses anymore for this reason.
