What Changes In Super Classes Would You Like To See

[cal]

Hello All
Thanks for your imput, it was very interesting. It really appears that leaving everything the way it is, is the best thing to do.

I am looking forward to this season. I just hope I can at least go a few rounds here and there. I hear there is a big learning curve in all 3 of these classes.

By the way for anyone wanting to know.

Hey Terry
Hows the weather down there.
I'll be there during the christmas holidays, sure hope its warmer then its is here.
BBRRRRRRRR in the 20s at night and only the mid 30s during the day.

I guess I'll be running S/ST & H/R plus Brackets of course, at the famous MIR.

For all of you that want to eliminate timers, how do you propose we slow our cars down then? Run the stop the entire length of the track or use a high gear stop? Sounds like a huge step backwards to me.

I will admit that I agree the class is terrible for the spectators. But I honestly don't care. Our classes support themselves. We pay for everything with our entry fees. I race for me, not for the spectators (all 10 of them). I will also admit that I enjoyed racing T/S much more than the super classes. But we soon found out that after the class was contested for a few years it got fast enough that it took more money than I was willing to spend and more crew help than I had available. It was very fun going fast and having spectators interested in your class. But that all comes with a price. So far I have not heard any ideas on changes that I think will make any difference on spectators. Unless we do a 5' wheel stand or run in the 6's, most people wont care to watch us.

Just my opinion.

I can go 170 in S/G and I would still like to see throttle stops gone. Why spend $25000 on a motor when you can run 9.90 with a sub $10000 motor. Same pay out less expense, makes sense to me.

I do see your point. But for those of us that already have the equipment to go 170 what are we supposed to do with it? Sell it for .50 on the dollar and by a smaller motor? I also think there are a number of racers (myself included) that like to go fast and don't want to slow down. I don't think it is near as exciting to go 140 as it is to go 170+. If I wanted to go slow I would be racing stock.

Ouch! You better hope Ed or a host of others don't accidentally wander into the the .90 section of the forum. Course it could be entertaining...Class Wars XXX

I respect your opinion,but to me , going 140 in my super stocker or 170 in my super gas car dosent feel much different after about the third run of the year. I guess this is unfortunate for me! lol
