2015 Rules

Larry Hill · 10-31-2014, 03:06 PM

On the Factory Showdown cars a .6 second reduction would be a real number on the indexes. I did go back and look at Indy, Maple Grove, and Gainesville , most of the cars in the finals were about 1.50 to 1.60 under. A .6 second reduction will bring the under number to close to 1.00 second under the index. The cars that can run 1.00 + under at Indy are all good cars.

Every once in a while some odd combo comes out and runs a little further under, but not that often.

The indexes of the new FS class cars will say a lot!

I am sure they will have the same effect as the changes 12 years ago did to pickup trucks. Haven't seen a new race truck since. Newest is a 97 model. Probably have the same effect. I'm sure a lot of new 69 Camaro's will appear. I know multiple people have complained that they won't race because of the new cars, so 200 or so returning racers should be ready for next year. Anybody got a better number? Maybe 400? The numbers of the new cars will go down, and the old cars will go through the roof. They had some old truck ran 2.42 under at Indy. That thing needs a 2 second hit for the truck shootout, but wait, almost all the trucks went home. But I got a new method. When you pull in the gate and pass tech, you get a Wally. Then the fuel check, scale, tech folks are off for the rest of the weekend. You only have to state your class when you tech. After that, it's a bracket race even for identical vehicles. Everyone wins. No more haveing to race for Class. You win and get a wally. Nobody is paying anyway. Ken will quit Class Racer because it's boring. Paring will be with a deck of cards. It don't matter who wins the race anyway, you already got your Wally. Maybe just get your Wally and go home, or even better just pay the$310 entry and they will mail your Wally. Save the fuel cost. Ed won't have to thrash any more, Bruce will be happy all the time, Larry Hill won't have to analize the times and classes and won't have to spend time getting his hp reduced while the rest of us squak so he can run to the front. But wait; there is no front. Hummmmmm I got to work on that one. I know. Best reaction is the ladder. Now we got it. What is the next thing we need to solve?
