It's a great time to race - part one

Jack Matyas · 06-09-2011, 05:12 PM

With only one week to go before Bristol there 27 Stock entries and 28 SuperStockers - those are five round races - not like before the Great Recession when even 7 looked good - and yes , its for a little less money ............but I'd like to get me a silver Wally ! ! !

The Turismo loses about half a second at Bristol. No factor, no can do.

You don't want me unleashing her on the world! 1st round of eliminations of her entire life (Rockingham, Saturday of Memorial weekend last year), she had Dunn-Benson's track champ. Had a better package than his light. LOL Monday morning, go in with no time shots, she ROLLLLS through that 3rd amber... and it comes up green. Chris Plott was watching and said "I almost threw up on my steering wheel." (.005) Be glad she has no grading points and no vacation time!

Jack,

Only 2 (soon to be 3) cars in the 'stock auto' class. If you enter as E/SA you can join up: G/SA, R/SA, BF/S.

Oh, are they 'silver' or 'pewter'?

Mike - It would be much more fun to jump into B/SA where there are already five entries - or A/SA as there are four - totals have jumped to a whopping 32 in Stock and 33 in SuperStock .Call it anything you want but from a racers standpoint its a few rounds short ....................BTW - Those single car class eliminators gained a bunch of popularity in Englishtown .Real racing for sure - and they had fun - just ask 'em .

PS- Pewter does sound better .

I hope no one else enters B/FS in Bristol, I kinda want to race in the combo. Can't go to enough races for 'class' points and I really think racing on the index/handicap all out would be kinda cool. Course I have been running well, Bristol may ne another story because of altitude.

Here's the final tally - 51 Stockers and 59 S/S ers - looks like the fast cars will be out in big numbers in Stock as there are 5 AA/SA's - 7 A/SA 's - 6 B/SA's - 4 C/SA's and 3 D/SA's ...........................half the field in 5 classes ! ! !

To bad it's not like the old, old, old days-only class winners in elims!
