Combo Question to racers.

Might as well. Jim

I would be open to allowing Super Mod Comp cars only. Not sure A) how many of them would want to shoe-polish race and B) not sure how many S/SS racers would be happy having them. The fastest A/SM-A/SMA cars run high 7's, not too much faster than the fastest SS/AM cars.

Heck i just wish we could get a Modified Eliminator deal going
B/A would be A/G
C/A = B/G
D/A =C/G

so on, lol

I like the way the Buckeye s/ss series does with adding in the nostalgia superstocks. That brings in alot of fans, nicely prepared cars, and brings the number of race cars to a good level. It makes for good racing in the low-mid 9's to low 12's. I don't think there is a need for a 7 second pro-stock type car in a stock/superstock combo race.
I personally don't want to see the comp cars in a combo race. There are already too many SS cars out there that need to move to comp anyway.They are really comp cars impersonating a super stocker.

I would say let them all in not just the door cars. I don't think you are going to get many anyways.

Bring on the fast cars!

I dont have a problem with it, i was just curious what the opinions are. Dragsters I would say NO as SSS is a door car thing. Besides its shoe polish racing anyway

Don't some guys race both classes. I would think they just change motors and rearends to fit the rules. I don't think they would want to leave the motor on "kill" for SS. They would probably just have a mild motor and comp motor, one for each class if they changed back and forth that is.
