Just an idea to combine classes.

Billy Nees · 01-04-2010, 10:04 AM

I've been reading some recent post about Top Stock and got started thinking (usually bad thing). Maybe it's time to "shake the cage" a bit and think about going to 2 pound class breaks. Leave AA alone at the top and go to 8.00 to 9.99, 10.00 to 11.99 etc. Keep sticks and autos seperate. Also, no class adjustments up or down just top of natural class.
That should make things interesting! I know it would hurt everything I own but WTF.

Billy -- Good morning and Happy New Year -- as soon as I'm done typing this I'll be sure to call Sunny and bitch her out as there is no doubt she forgot to remind you to take your meds this morning ..................

I think that the first step should be to combine sticks and autos.

I absolutely DISagree with that! Keep things as diverse as possible.

Bill how about going to 1lbs weight breaks first....? I'm not sure why we have 1/2lb breaks anyway. The FI classes were 1bl breaks.

Billy As you can plainly see there is no way of changing this without severly hurting someone.
Why do some people think if the number of classes are cut that payout will go up?

PS I have a bridge for sale. Only Slightly Used.

Why do you say that?
I race an automatic trans equipped car,but I still shift manually.

Does that mean I would get to run twice as many drivers heads-up in the eliminator with my three under car? I know..... work on it, spend more money etc. I don't see more folks comming into the sport with less chance of winning. It takes a while to learn how to go fast, unless your falling in behind daddy. I think this would be a good thing for the old guys that have paid their dues, and learned how to go fast. It sounds like your trying to thicken the classes up a little. Making it harder for a guy to navigate the eliminator, because of the fast car heads-up advantage, will discourage and cause them to leave. And your back to the same thing again, only worse. Bring more people into the sport to reduce the singles for class win. What fun is it being fast, if there is no one to race? I say bring more folks into the sport, by making it a little easier, not harded! The fast guys can still beat up on the new boys and girls for class LOL.
