ADRL SuperCar Showdown Norwalk Racers...

All things take time. It takes years of hard work to become "an overnight success".

The question is, why are the racers that begged (just had to have Heads Up) not supporting it?

Bret Kepner · 10-03-2012, 02:27 PM

We actually had seven cars and we're extremely happy. Of the nine drivers who attended Indy, only three were at Norwalk; in other words, we drew a lot of new racers. The fans loved it and the racers had a great time. The only place in the world which doesn't seem happy with the SuperCar Showdown program is ClassRacer.com! LOL!

My question still has not been answered by the races, why are they not supporting this?

Ralph, maybe you should quit being such a contrarian and freakin build a car....any car. It seems clear that despite your Bruce Wayne like avatar; you are capable and connected. The only thing it seems you lack is a positive attitude and the stones to stand up with your identity.
You ask for a lot of answers for a person that gives none. Come on man! Or woman or....nevermind.....

Maybe because I only got my COPO a couple of weeks ago and have not been home since!

Bret,

Please post the ADRL plan for next year as soon as you can. It would be nice if you had some kind of points series. I am sure that would attract a few more racers too.

Good Luck,

Daren

I have to laugh.. Everybody squeals for a "heads up" eliminator and then when somebody has the gonads to create one it just devolves into whining and sniveling about how "it ain't fair" because “so and so has bla bla bla” until it dissolves.. sort of reminds me of Top Stock..

Brett, keep up the good work, it is nice to see someone trying to do something for the sport even if the racers end up not supporting it. If you keep trying you will eventually get it right. Personally I think the Super Car Series is pretty cool!

I think it is a neat series that they are putting on. Wish that more cars would join the fun, however it seems that these things start off a little slow at times.

I think an eliminator that all stock/super stock cars can fit in....like how Pat runs the CIC race at the SportsNationals... now that is just the next step!!

Bret, I don't think that's true, sure there are a couple of people that might think whatever of the series, and that's their right or opinion...as far as the racers that support the Super Car Series and show up to these events, I guess they're happy too competing against whoever else that shows up...but I have to question, so how long can this really go on. If everything is fine and dandy and everyone is happy, does this mean ADRL is content with just a hand full of competitors showing up? If so that means the series is just 'filler material' for them, I mean they are just putting on this series with no pay outs of any kind, so was this the purpose from the get go? Maybe I'm wrong, and they were hoping for a bigger turnout, or maybe we were...Maybe next year ADRL can put up some money for the racers so they can at lease cover their expenses, and I bet you'd get a lot more support next year if they do decide to change it from the way it is currently run...It sure did sound good at the beginning with all of those Super Car Series advertisements with several manufactures going head to head against each other...can't keep running with no return of some sort, it just ain't going to work out no matter what everyone else says...So the ball is ADRL's court, and I really hope they come up with a better solution...whats that old saying, Go West young man...and it wouldn't hurt to run a few races out that way either...ahh the politics of racing, don't you just love it.
