Jeff what Happens with all those lights if you're color blind?

Claude - You sir , are trying to re-invent the wheel and by now even you will have to admit the Stock / SuperStock crowd wants nothing to do with this idea .Lose and you go help a friend or maybe fire up the grille but buybacks are something that just won't happen here .Leave them for the weekly bracket programs or the Million dollar races ..............And yes , I was there for the flagman deal - and buybacks weren't even thought of yet ..........

PS- I have a tough enough time paying attention for seven rounds let alone more .

I've been racing a long, long time and all the entrants at all the races I've attended prepared their cars and their driving skills to compete the best they can, knowing that if they lose first round, or round seven, they are done. I say absolutely NO BUY BACKS!!! John Bender. 1969 E/SA. 1967 Plymouth GTX

No to buybacks in stock super stock!

Buy Backs were not brought into bracket racing for the benefit of the Racer. They were introduced to bolster the bottom line of the track or promoter.
Are you sure you want to introduce Buy Backs to NHRA ? I'm sure one of their bean counters will figure it out and put a spin on it so it benefits them. Soon it will be who has the deepest pockets, OH I forgot it already is......

Jack, I am done, take me out of the oven and put a fork in it. No Buy Back in the purest form of racing S.&S/S or should I say racing and forget the purest.lol (98.5 of racer said that the would tie me to the stake or was it that they would buy me a steak if I ever brought this up) Got the message.lol Claude Ruel p.s. where are Terry, Ed to save me from myself!
