What would not be fair to the people running modified style cars? The fact they wouldn't get to chase the class cars who can't afford to build 100k race cars? What is fair about the way it is now? Fletcher does run a modified car. But yes he and the others you've mentioned are great drivers without a doubt.

Fletcher has only been running the modified combo for a few years. Nothing will ever make ladder games go away unless it is all random pairing and I believe a few people posted on the problems that can occur with random pairing. What isn't fair about the way things are now? Are you going to penalize people that have the money to build more expensive cars than you? It seems you have your own agenda going on. When I race stock I chase alot of cars. When I bracket race I spend all day long looking over my shoulder. I don't cry about. I just deal with it and try to get better on the top end every time I do it. I think you need to find a way to race under the current rule structure that I'm sure isn't going to change just because you don't think it's fair.

Just don't show qualifying sheet til last qualifyer is done....
I know there will be racers with their own helpers in the stands writing the runs down ,but at least they had to work for it..


It is what it is !!!

also, do away with putting an ET on the scoreboards,2 sided timeslips and all progressive times (just RT, ET and MPH) during Sportsman qualifying.
Wouldn't it be fun to see all of the competitors "racing blind" going into eliminations?

Sounds good, Billy. While we're at it, eliminate the RT as well. Suddenly, it's 1963 all over again!

No one wants random pairing so I don't know why people keep bringing it up. Ladder games weren't my primary concern, just an added benefit because they would only help you for one round and you won't know where you will be in 2nd round.

You still haven't told me what is fair about a car with rules and stock components and a car with no rules and far superior aftermarket parts (and a hood scoop) racing each other. I don't know how I'm penalizing anyone? If anything, the class cars are getting penalized no?

What class car in SS has "no rules" as you put it? None. What are the Mod cars allowed in the engine that we are not. We all can have aftermarket cranks, rods, pistons, rings, valves, springs, retainers, rockers, pushrods, lifters, cams, timing chains/belts and maybe even blocks. What "stock components are we limited to that the Mod cars are not? Carbs and maybe head castings that we can port now. Some SS cars can even run Alum heads. And now we don't have to run the original carb number. There are also hood scoops in traditional SS.

You ask "what is fair" about running these cars. What is unfair about running them? As Jack said. it still comes down to running the number after cutting a light.
