Great idea!

Re: Making Stock and Super / Stock Sellable
 

if you allow dial ins, then should be index or quicker, same as elims.

Re: Making Stock and Super / Stock Sellable
 

No need for dial-ins.. Needs to be an automated process.
Tower just enters the number, as they do now . Simple software change, I would think.
Trying to do it for combos, etc., not a good idea .Most of those folks aren't used to how we run S/SS. Hard enough to get a Q sheet sometimes.

Mark, I accept your kind offer, and you won't have to pay me $770,000 per year.

I like it. Much more fun for everyone. But "selling" Stock and Super Stock to fans is easy. Getting those fans to the track and through the gate is the hard part.

Re: Making Stock and Super / Stock Sellable
 

Watch a natl event on TV, often times when they are going to break, they show a stocker or s/stocker in slo mo pulling the wheels at the starting line. (Because it's so cool ) I don't think I have ever seen them go to break showing a s/gas car going on the stop. Now I'm not knocking the super class cars but they are purely a participants class. So...they should always bring out stock and s/stk just ahead of the pro's when fans are working their way to their seats, and super classes should follow right after the pro's when fan's are headed for the pits.

Re: Making Stock and Super / Stock Sellable
 

The OP has a great idea, and after that, the class S/SS should be run off national records..no more dial ins....I know this has been beat to death before but its my 2 cents on the subject.

You would not believe how many people see my junk going together and scratching there heads wonder and ask why I spend so much time, effort and money to bracket race?....they have a valid point

Re: Making Stock and Super / Stock Sellable
 

This Idea will probably not go over well with front drive or slow car people. But my idea for selling Stock and super/stock we need to have a rule limiting wheelie bars to be a minimum 8 inches or more off the ground basically they should be a safety devise to keep cars from going over. All cars must leave with the front tires a minimum of 12 inches off the ground (more the better) for stock and 24 inches (or more) for Super/Stock. The wheel stands are what I always have loved about these classes it gives them spectator appeal. Nothing like an old station wagon pulling up and launching with the bumper dang near dragging the ground. I loved having a new spectator around and the look on their face when a wagon would do that.

Great Idea! Another great idea would be to combine sticks and autos and use 1lb classes so theres more heads up which is what fans and racers both WANT!!!

Re: Making Stock and Super / Stock Sellable
 

It would be good practice for the tower workers. Then maybe they wont get dial ins wrong during eliminations. Great idea
