Consolidating Classes

[Michael Beard]

Didn't see consolidating fwd with rwd?

Didn't think it was worth getting that detailed in a general poll. NHRA FWD classes have already been consolidated amongst themselves with both wider weight breaks and combining sticks and autos. I wouldn't have a problem with combining FWD and RWD classes if there were enough lower classes and there was a way to give them a weight break that put them with an index that made sense. I don't know of a simple way to do that though.

Enough with the pushing for changes. Hasn't there been enough done to Stock over the past few years? Seems like some won't be satisfied until S and SS become strictly Bracket 1 and Bracket 2.

1) Nobody's "pushing" anything. It's a question.
2) I would agree there's been *too* many changes, many of which have generated unintended problems themselves.
3) How would having less classes (presumably ending up with more heads up runs) make it more like bracket racing? It's exactly the opposite.

How about "both of the above" and stopping at 16lbs/FHP?

Why? (Just curious as to your reasoning)

Hey Michael,this poll is for IHRA correct?You do most of your racing for that organization.

No, it's not. It's for benchracing, where you do most of your racing. Sorry, that one was hanging over the plate. Still love ya, Ed!

The topic gets brought up for time to time in various forms. I just don't remember seeing a poll covering it. It is the silly season, after all. We need something else to b*tch about.
