How about buy-backs in stock and super stock

[Bob Don]

No to buy backs but yes to some sort of consolation race for first and maybe second round losers.

[Lou Jeffery]

Not a fan of buybacks. However IF THERE IS SHOE POLISH INVOLVED IT IS A BRACKET RACE No matter what!
There is nothing cooler than Stock or Superstock but with the exception of heads up runs IT IS A BRACKET RACE!

[Karl Owens]

NO BUYBACKS!!!!! EVER!!!!!

Thats why the call it eliminations!! You lose, go home, go away, I don't want to see you again

Buybacks turns racing into gambling and should be illegal

[Mike Taylor 3601]

No buybacks in my opinion.

No buybacks ... leave things alone !

Lets think about this in a rational and beneficial way.

No buy backs, it is eliminations, you lose, your out, end of conversation.

All first and second round losers are eligible for a consolation race, at a reasonable price, for a reasonable purse for the winner only, as it is now considered double elimination.

Everybody wins, the track, racers, sponsors (exposure), losers.

This way no egos are hurt, there is still an all out winner, and the early round losers have a second chance to race. What would be the problem?

Why not give everyone a "Participation Wally."

This is stupid...

Even T-ball kids know the score, and who won or lost when the score is not kept.

If you don't like the rules take your stocker or superstocker and go to your local bracket race. The bonus is they don't weigh, have fuel check, or heads up runs! And then if there is something you don't like you can change their rules, not ours!

I agree with Lundholm's Son-in Law!

Ron, You got the holeshot on me this time.

Something to try for the Divisional tracks.

Take the round losers..put them back on a Sportsman ladder in the order they were in qualifying...Five minutes or less you've got a ladder..
$20 from the racer, $20 from the track..Pay W and R/U.
Who's gonna complain? The people in the stands? They're just family and crew anyway.
Might pick up a few more cars for the main event with this..
