Stock by class

Dick Butler · 08-07-2007, 07:28 AM

I guess I have to respond "Great way to mis interpret a post John." I will watch any class which has 2 or more cars. Its not correct to try to BRAND me because I didnt have time to print every 2 car class coming to INDY.
As for Dick Butler " mentality". Thanks. I assume that includes the fact that I not only see things which could be improved about S and SS but I am making an effort to DO something not just discuss it on the computer. Many people who do not play computer personally support our efforts for TOP/SS and TOP/STK as a "starting point". Trying to show an interest in more class racing at more places than just INDY.
Quotes from racers are "most fun had in YEARS". (for one)
People should just pick an issue you discuss as a problem and make an effort to change it and with as many racers as exist in these classes maybe we can make a difference people care about.
Thanks Dick Butler

Dick will fix this sport...As long as you have 200,000 to put in the car, and like running heads-up!

Stockracer, We can work together to "fix" some of the issues if we try. Do you agree no heads up in eliminations would be a shame? Do you agree more class racing would be great? If so get involved and realize I want this also.
I was supporting the Super Mod of NSCA with middle sized motors and wt cars. I support TOP/Stk because it is supported by the racers in Div 1 and now 3. I support TOP/SS because it is close wt to AH cars and I felt other brands deserve to be in the "SHOW" also if we could merge them fairly.
If possible I see 3-5 heads up classes possible in the Open events where multiple classes could combine to create a BIG field in each. Jr stock in Div 1 is very successful already.
This method of combining can give more opportunity to run heads up for the true Class Racers.
I would support spec motor any body class at fixed wt if it gave racers a chance to race heads up.
I loved the U/SA shoot out idea at the Southern Sports . Heads up racing with trash talking to go with it. ha ha.
Thanks Dick

i did beat it once in 2004 but it just pissed bullet bob off

Stockracer, Tony Depillo tried 10 lb in NSCA and it failed. Maybe because it was at another meet. I feel trying to work in NHRA events is best as everyone is "trained " to come to them anyway. I agree with the lower wt class also. Had to start somewhere. I would like to see 10 lb area Heads up too. Many cars and many combinations. The one issue is there are some tightly factored cars running one class and loosely factored ones which could bump in and make it tough. Hope for the future though. Thanks
