Super class survey - Page 2

Leave the index alone. If you put a cap on the MPH in each class there is no need for large engines. Just changing the index will not fix anything. Slower cars will have to backup a class and then they will be the fast car in the slower index.

OK, how would the "cap on the MPH" work?

This is coming from a guy that's within a 2 hour drive of 5 of the 6 LODRS races in Division 1, and 2 National Events. Try driving 4 hours to your CLOSEST race and see what you think about spending more money...

Well I may regret it, but I voted. As I said my junk won't run 7.90s and I choose not to spend the $ to run it! However, change should benefit the majority not the minority so I chose to compromise, I voted 8.50 in S/C.
Not having a crystal ball to see the big picture, I feel this may level the playing field somewhat. or at least make it closer racing.
Besides, my neck hurts .....I'm not Linda Blair!

Simple, just like a breakout. You go faster than the set speed limit for the class, you lose. If both competitors go faster, the one that went faster loses. I would give this priority over E.T. breakouts (i.e. if one competitor goes 9.89 at 134 mph, and the other goes 9.91 at 136 mph, the one that went 136 mph loses - with electronics legal, there's no reason to push the mph that close to the edge).

Does this make it more confusing for the spectator? Probably, but if we're not going to outlaw electronics, we don't have any spectators anyway, so who cares if the 1 spectator in the stands understands what is going on...

You're right, it's so simple.

And are you going to change all the software in all the computers at every track in the country to now understand this? How about at those tracks still running software from the early mesozoic era? You know, that track owner that has their first dime and can't be talked out of it?

This is just silly.

I think part of the problem is SG has changed from a door slammer class into a class full of roadsters. Maybe a 9.90 door slammer and a 8.90 roadster class. I would be willing to bet some of the SST guys would move into SG if they are not competing with 160+ roadsters all the time.
