More classes added to Div 2 LODRS events

Joe Pinkston · 01-15-2011, 08:18 PM

The guy that posted it on another site is the manager at Bradenton, so I assume it is true. I just don't see them doing this without cutting time runs and qualifying passes for all classes and who knows, some unfortunate class or 2 may see their first round on Friday?

I just don't see it working on a Fri-Sat-Sun schedule, but then my opinion may not be worth much since I sat out last year and will probably do the same this year. It should be interesting though.

Hey Dan Moore, you're #1.

Opposed to this on many points. If any issues (like Bradenton last year) it just puts them that much further behind on getting time trials and eliminations complete. They specifically have events just for those racers, why mix it with racers who have a whole different mindset and objectives. D2 racers pay $160 while Unleashed racers pay entries considerably less at the Unleashed events, will they do the same at D2 races while running for essentially the same purse? I really want to see more info on this but it seems to be like they are saying "hey, we are going to run a big bracket race in the middle of your points race". I have bracket raced for 30 years but they are completely different deals and deserve different venues to suit everyone.

The .90 guys will have a fit with this one...

I think it is stupid. Unless they do this on Saturday evening afer TT are done.
Pic this
Friday
TT
Friday night Unleash TT
Saturday TT
Saturday night Unleash final eliminations
with some Pro Mod/10.5/jet car or something to bring in som fans
Sunday
Finish race

They would'nt do this because it makes sense.

Some else posted it will cut back on TT How many do you need?
I went to commerce in sept and they did 6.
