snowmobiles in D3 pts races

Charley Downing · 01-28-2010, 11:40 AM

No time for more qualifying passes. But we can add crap like snowmobiles(@ five PTS races) to a schedule they already can’t handle. I would not care if we all got four passes at each pts race. But when Jay keeps adding classes to the schedule and tells there is no time that is told BS.
Thanks JAY our D3 leader that doesn’t care about STK or SS. It is time for a new director in the land of the winners.

I have no idea why NHRA/IHRA feels the need to add all the "wierd" stuff. Charlie, remember the IHRA race at Pittsburgh in '06, when we were helping little Carl get his car fixed for the semifinals? They had jets, wheelstanders and snowmobiles that night. When the rain came, they were down to the semis or finals in all classes. Without all the BS, the race would have been completed that night, and not a month later. NHRA out west has had Super Eliminator, and/or Top Comp, Sportsman Motorcycle, etc for years. Now every Division has T/S and T/D added to it, and the rest of the classes sometimes suffer because of it. Not to mention less pit space overall. At least with T/Stk and Jr/Stk, it was run with cars already there and not bringing in additional cars to take up space. My personal feeling is run the "odd" stuff at the Opens. If it doesn't compete for a World Championship, it shouldn't be at LODRS and Pro-Am events.

They also added them at the D-1 Races this year.

Entry Money is the ONLY reason these classes are added. That and their family ticket prices...There is no regard for the time needed for others. That can be limited to only one run if needed. Get The Money in HAND!

This is why I have pretty much stop racing. I only go to a couple of races a year mainly to see all the racers. Indy is one that I like to go to but maybe I will skip this one too! Charley, maybe you can get a majoritty of the div 3 racers to move to another div and race until a new div director is appointed. Cut the particapation by 60 70%????
