Super class survey

Leave the index alone. If you put a cap on the MPH in each class there is no need for large engines. Just changing the index will not fix anything. Slower cars will have to backup a class and then they will be the fast car in the slower index.

OK, how would the "cap on the MPH" work?

This is coming from a guy that's within a 2 hour drive of 5 of the 6 LODRS races in Division 1, and 2 National Events. Try driving 4 hours to your CLOSEST race and see what you think about spending more money...

Well I may regret it, but I voted. As I said my junk won't run 7.90s and I choose not to spend the $ to run it! However, change should benefit the majority not the minority so I chose to compromise, I voted 8.50 in S/C.
Not having a crystal ball to see the big picture, I feel this may level the playing field somewhat. or at least make it closer racing.

Maybe not the right Rick but here is my answer to the question.

I have not run it all out but it should run about 8.00 at sea level, however when I certified it last year they put a 8.50 or slower cert. sticker on it.
I was told it did not have the proper bars for a quicker ET.
I am not sure why but I was told it was an issue with the bars under the drivers seat and most all the roadsters are built that way. Mine has a single angle bar under the seat and not the X bracing required is what I was told.
I am no expert in the SFI requirements for the frames.
I have not voted and will just run what I can for as long as I can. I love the sport but age is beginning to catch up with me. I will continue until I can no longer climb in and get back out of the car. That is one reason I went to roadster several years ago. They are easier to get in and out of for me.
Lets Just Have Fun with whatever the rules are as long as the rules are the same for all of us.
Just My 2 Cents

You have to be a certain age to get that one, but that's funny right there...

Simple, just like a breakout. You go faster than the set speed limit for the class, you lose. If both competitors go faster, the one that went faster loses. I would give this priority over E.T. breakouts (i.e. if one competitor goes 9.89 at 134 mph, and the other goes 9.91 at 136 mph, the one that went 136 mph loses - with electronics legal, there's no reason to push the mph that close to the edge).

Does this make it more confusing for the spectator? Probably, but if we're not going to outlaw electronics, we don't have any spectators anyway, so who cares if the 1 spectator in the stands understands what is going on...
