Get rid of 1k readings

[GTX JOHN]

Unfortunately we have not been attracting enough new young racers.

Let's try a Le Mans Start:

Stage Driver and park Race Car at 60' Line with engine off.

It seems most of good drivers are at least 30+........Heck a lot of the best ones are 50+. This system would let the kids be immediately competitive from first race and handicap everyone as they got older and more experienced.

If anyone is old enough to remember..... their was an Article in Car Craft in Early 70's about Los Angeles Street Racers that talked about me foot racing for a $1000. (I was 300 LB. + then)

Did you get a break of the Keds?Did you win?

[GTX JOHN]

Always won......Because I could figure out how exactly how many car lengths I needed. No help from Keds but got paid every time from "Fruit of Loom" due to positioning of trousers at Finish Like...... Contingency Sticker always in full View!

Sure Miss those Days.

OK.....Use cubic inch to factory shipping wts. If its blown or has a turbo just DOUBLE the cu. inches used to figure the class. Yeah.....the new Mustangs will run at 662 cu. inch factor and the V-10 DP can run at 512 per cube. Anything goes inside as long as it P&G's correctly so you dont have to tear down as long as it looks stock like in the F.A.S.T. Muscel car races. Stock is almost there already. Sounds about right to me....lol.

[Doug Blackley]

Flag starts and a guy at the finish line to call the winner......no et slips at all. Spots will be determined by class indexes. All current HP factors will be tossed aside and new factors will be decided by where the dart lands on the wallboard. With this system no one will know what class they're in until tech. Anyone seen dumping before the finish line will be granted an automatic 15 hp increase which will be added before their next run unless they can provide proof of breakage at the scales at the end of that run.
