Performance Based Stk/SS Racing

Maybe Gary Richard would be interested doing that at the Div 1 open races.

Sounds like a blast.

the only time i could see this happening in a d1 event is thursday ,although no one has qualified it might be a great way to get a one day race in before the divisonal race ,,this could also be a qualifier for the divisonal race thinking out loud gmonde

I really like the idea, but Thursday's are hard. Maybe if it was run every Thursday before a points race it would have a better chance of developing a following. I know on Thursday at every Cajun Sportsnationals has been a problem with anything other than a test-n-tune. If time could be found during the event would be the best, but that varies division to division.

Fri night if there isnt a curfew

I bet there are a few Mopars and Mustangs willing to help you put up your money to watch their performance. Maybe even one or two 305 injected cars. Good Luck. Without a CIC method the "fix" is in to help the poorly factored cars take home some extra money.
This would only work with a tight CIC to help the second round cars. First round is not a pretty sight.

Dick, Who said these races should be fair? Forget about any CIC. People want to prove how fast they can go. Okay, let 'em go fast. You want fair and equal racing where people have got a chance, we've got that at the races now. In this type race only the fartherest under their index will come out on top....unless they redlight. Cut a safe light then see if you can drive around your competition on the big end.

I understand now. The whole deal was a "joke" to show people how unfair the whole deal would be if heads up, no break out. You werent even trying to have fairness, just slaughter by the underfactored,new cars . I get it now. I suppose this would again point to the poor rules being used currently.

Dick, I'm shocked. I never thought I would ever hear you say heads up without a break out is unfair. My suggestion was not to run heads up. It was to handicap off the class index, just with no breakout. And my suggestion would let everyone in, not just a select few classes.

Here's a chance for performance oriented racers to prove just how fast they can go without being hit with horsepower. Call it a slaughter if you want but nobody would be forced to enter.
