I think its fine to include all the various classes in the combo races - I believe it makes for a more fun experience for all participants, it draws more cars in total, can raise payouts etc... As Bobby F said earlier (BTW congrats on the win) - it agree it gets a little hazy when you have different rules, like trans-brake SS'rs vs. foot-brake stockers. I will say though - that having participated in Dave Ley's East Coast S/SS series for many years - I have seen Stockers win at least as often as SS cars, if not more often - but without looking more deeply into it - like specific number of rounds won by the different cars - its not easy to say which type/class of car is more successful overall, or be able to conclude one has any actual advantage over the other.
OK - so all that being said - since I have been bracket racing with a dragster, I noticed that specialty bracket races (not the weekly points series races) often have buy-backs for those who do not win 1st round. (I try to be positive all the time - which is why I did not use "1st round losers" LOL). I personally feel having the opportunity for a second chance makes attending the race a little more appealing. I think what's being described here is an "all inclusive" class race which I would define as being very similar to a specialty bracket race.
My question is.... would having a 1st round buy-back be a possibility? Would it change how anyone feels?

Just my opinion but I will not race where there are buybacks. This is Drag racing 2 cars go down one comes back. I have raced at tracks that hold a second eliminator later in the day for first and second round non winners small entry winner takes all. I like those but not buying back into the main race.

I like it where it is run as a separate race as well.

Heck, if there was a credit card reader at the rear of staging, some people might keep swiping until they get to the final!

We had a S/SS Combo race at Union County, SC a number of years ago. Every Super Stock car lost first round, and the final round consisted of my Turismo and Harry Morgan's Escort. Obviously those FWD cars have an advantage... :p

When I was running Super Stock, I was footbraking and shifting by hand. It's not a big deal, IMO.

Dave s Eastcoat Stock Super Stock. Program is the best deal in drag racing.
First of all combo mean both classes together you know the rules if you have a trans break Use it. The no heads up brings for participation No Danger No ego Its a bracket race If you And the pay is usually more than any divisional will pay. No stickers
It's fun and very competitive

Re: Just when I thought I've seen it all ........

CCRA is top notch, great racers and awesome racing. East Coast Stock/Super Stock was equally as impressive from what we saw at ATCO. Never heard any gripes about the differences in cars being ran. Crate motors and pure stockers fit in just fine with the NHRA and IHRA legal super stockers and wheel standing stockers.

Last weekend Jason Line brought his C/SA Buick out and raced with the boys in the Carolina Class Racers Association. Which I thought was pretty classy in itself.

Re: Just when I thought I've seen it all ........

This is one of the reasons that I like Jason Line over Greg Anderson. Jason is willing to jump in and mix it up with the stocker guys and have fun doing it.

Jason has a stocker. You want Greg to bring his pro stocker ?

I'm pretty sure that if he wanted to go to a S/SS race, he could bum a ride.

Jack, did the car you saw have injectors out the hood or was it the car that Doug posted in post 4?
