D2 races to include 3 Unleashed classes

pbaileyrp · 01-19-2011, 03:10 PM

I think this is a way that Rich S down in D2 is trying to think outside the box. Index racing is growing throughout the country. The NHRA has a division that needs some progressive thinking. I think the idea here is to bolster D2 car counts while helping the Unleashed series grow at the same time. There are already 2 races in D2 for the Unleashed series.Try it you might like it. Give it a chance....all the cliche's. Go to a few races with this format before you kill it. His job is to make D2 grow with more tracks,programs,etc.

how about this. Instead of going after different racers, why not try to mend the relationships you have with existing racers who are sick and tired of the way Division 2 has been run for the last decade or so.

I'm not targeting anyone,didn't mean to do that-sorry............didn't everyone want a new guy in D2. Give him some time to make things happen.He's been at it for only 4 months.All i'm saying is give it all a chance to work. By the end of 2011.... maybe you'll feel differently.

If all he's going to bring is "new classes", and "thinking outside the box"

I'm going to feel a lot different about him. It won't be positive, either.

We need to fix the problems we've had for years, and we need to do it now, before we add classes, before we add tracks, before we add anything. "New additions" are simply window dressing to mask underlying problems. It's like putting a set of wheels and tires and a coat of paint and bondo on a rustbucket with a rod knocking. Fix the rust, and build the engine first, the new wheels and tires and fresh paint are a waste if you don't.

I just hope people give him and any new ideas a chance. Give him a call or send him an e-mail an tell him your issues,ideas,etc One on One, instead of a internet forum is always best. Best of luck to all in 2011.

How about we fix the problems with the Division as it stands, first? More classes with the same problems is not the answer.

Sure, we'd like to see a couple more tracks. But I don't really think "Unleashed" is going to get Division 2 a couple of LODRS races at Charlotte and Bristol.

We need sustainable growth in car count and spectator attendance. That comes from solving the problems we already have, not adding 3 more classes from the latest "flash in the pan" fad.
