Sportsman Council phone conference Tonight! - Page 5

As far as .90 class indexes (indices?) I say leave them alone, for all of the reasons said so far. If you want to change .90 racing then do away with timer-based stops, but I suppose that won't have any benefit to the NHRA sponsors

Sponsors in Super class racing? Where?

Don't get too wound up on the index thing.....we just voted to put it up for a national Poll...I don't see it passing ( personally I don't care)....so you licensed racers make sure you vote when the time comes....SG and SC only SSt stays 10.90

How about the Scotty Rule.....you Super Street guys....sounds like most of you are against it.....I have only heard 1 that was for it....

Diapers are a good thing no matter what class....Its just a little difficult on some of the class cars to get one in there.....so they have to make sure it's doable....

How about some opinions on 1 double points meet per division....or a sportsnational coupled with a points meet.....

Bob Verwold · 09-08-2010, 01:32 PM

Diapers - If I can get one on my car there shouldn't be a problem for the several that complain!

Double points - If your chasing the points it would be to your advantage to run several out of Div races just for the points. Is that fair to the guys that race in their Div only ? Just an opinion.........

Sport national and div in one weekend - Boy, that doesn't leave much time to party.................

PS Was good to see you still in on Monday.

"How about the Scotty Rule.....you Super Street guys....sounds like most of you are against it.....I have only heard 1 that was for it...."

I race Super Street and I'm against it simply for the fact the I don't want to race against multi-car race teams driven by one driver. I know it's supposed to be an entry level class, but has gone a long ways from that. Maybe they should make a rule that after you dominate a division in Super Street AND proven you can run in S/G then you should have to move up...Big Dog...that's directed at you. J/K.

"Diapers are a good thing no matter what class....Its just a little difficult on some of the class cars to get one in there.....so they have to make sure it's doable...."

All cars that run down the track should be required to have diapers installed. I, currently, don't have one. But, will put one on if the rules dictate it. It would be difficult to install, but I will never complain about making the cars safer.

"How about some opinions on 1 double points meet per division....or a sportsnational coupled with a points meet..... "

Yes. A double points meet would be great. We can only go to a maximum of 6 races and it would be nice to have a double points meet. Also, what's a Sportsnational? Just kidding. We don't have a Sportsnational in Division 5, but would love to have one!

Thanks,

1) I like the two races idea

2) leave the indexes alone..

3) Get the helmets back inside the cages!!!!

That's my 3 cents!

how about 1 time run and go, 1 race sat. 1race sun.??

CBS · 09-08-2010, 07:59 PM

I didn't mean double points at one race.....I mean 2 races......

to save travel costs.....run 1 Thursday-Friday and 1 Saturday Sunday....maybe only 1 with alky cars....just a thought.....
