Floyd I also want to clarify that my intent isn't to "change" class racing, but to offer another style of racing that has proven successful in attracting new fans. I never mentioned "replacing" class racing with arm drop racing. It will be a welcome change from the grind having to wait all day for 1 or 2 runs, empty stands, the ridiculous entry and participation fees, grade points, wondering if bad weather will force you (us) to come back some other weekend so the pros can complete their program. This is an event we're we'll be treated not only like humans, but respected for all our hard work, money, and perseverance deserves. Rich Christensen is the star, and will make us the main attraction, not John Force or the Don Schumacher monopoly. And contrary to pessimistic opinions as I receive info , WILL ATTRACT NEW BLOOD!!!!!

Floyd what if POA was a all run S/SS combo, no crossing fingers and hoping for that guarantee chance? Now you have the chance with one adjustment to the program. The tree still stages the cars and the timing is still activated and just the arm drop makes the vehicles leave. People would get educated on how class racing works during the show as you could be the one explaining how it works on TV. This alone would be worth the price of admission to get spectators to become educated and maybe then they would come to the next Div race to watch class racers. Use the POA score boards and start with index and then CIC race with determined amount of under agreed upon to change next round index. Just like No Problems CIC race that appears to be quite an audience catcher. Im sure some of the big parts warehouses and other parts makers for the sport would like to have a commercial during the telecast on SPEED. Then talk about contigency program with decals on cars that can give that kind of exposure on TV. What would the decal people say about that.
