Top/gt

With the greater numbers of GTA,B,C cars currently running would there be an interest in a Heads up TOP/GT race? Wt could be at B wt. to allow max numbers to join. Heads up Pro tree. NO BREAK OUT at an OPEN event? Thoughts?

I'd love to see someone put this together. I was bummed that I missed the CIC race in Belle Rose. That looked like so much fun.
The problem for me is it would have to be out west and I know most of your events tend to be on the east coast.

How about a Jr GT class for GT/D E F or G cars too?? A hell of alot of cars in those classes.

I agree with Stefan there are a lot of those mid class GT cars. You could count me in.

Can all the Top this and that....just combine the classes a,b,c, ...d,e, f, and run 'em at all races. That's where it is going anyway.

Rich, I hope you are right. Just look at the consolidation of the fuel injected cars in stock. Initially many people on this forum thought the carb cars would have this huge disadavantage, but the reality is they seem to be basically even.
IMO, Shaul winning stock at the Vegas race was the perfect example of what stock and ss should be. He won a couple of bracket rounds and I think 4 heads up rounds to bring home the trophy. S and ss should be a true mix of bracket and heads up races not 99% bracket and 1% heads up as it is with the current excessively classed system.
I love the idea of a Top GT race because it puts the class back in class racing. Really, I'd love to see a CIC race or some kind of GT/A-B-C and GT/D-E-F combo race at the Sportsnationals in Fontana. Mike Rice would never do it, but it sure would be fun.

Instead of running Class as we know it maybe a Sportsnationals run on consolidated ABC, DEF, GHI could run. Less class trophies and more sponsor money to win class. Back to More Heads up racing....but with Everyone having a chance to do it again not just TOP classes. Yes I think it would be good as I have said and as we see many people voice a definite interest in having a chance to do it too...
