SUGGESTIONS (serious ones)

X-TECH MAN · 12-11-2010, 07:52 PM

For disscusion purpose If a different place to race was avaliable in the future that paid very well what would you REALLY consider to be important rules to race by in your program and style of racing? ET's, electronics, weight, body styles, chassis types. Forget what you race under now in NHRA and IHRA and start with a clean sheet of paper. Would the chance to run for better pay outs sway you into by passing an NHRA event to run with another scantioning body or race venue or is the "WALLY" the most important thing to you. Is a "Points Championship" such as you have now spread out over a season more important than the chance to race for a much larger purse?
Id like to see some SERIOUS answers instead of just complaints about the big MPH vs the slower MPH cars or the T-Stop issues.
Thanks.

i pass up nhra races to go to high dollar bracket races,yea the wally is great,but its not everything! for divisionl events,you spend 3 to 4 days there make what 1 and maybe 2 runs a day,i rather spend 300 bucks for a bracket race,where you get alot of runs! with 3 seperate days of racing,also golf cart races,and other things..the doorslammer open at trails was fun also...i would like to see some bracket races where they pair dragsters on one side of the ladder and cars on the other then have a draw in the semis to either pit dragster vs dragster or car vs dragster semi final matches....
now i loved the way trails ran unleashed,i love the format and they gave us a bonus time trial since no one dirtied up the track,and fridays test and tune was only 25 bucks...my dad refuses to run anything other than nhra races cause he knows no different,but i rather bracket race...but thats my 2 cents!

Personally, if I had the choice between a Unleashed race and a divisional race in super gas, I would go to the Unleashed race. I am at a disadvantage at the NHRA super gas class, even though that is typically what I race all the time. The Unleashed levels the competition.
