Re: Super Comp getting to be rediculous
All the super classes are getting this way. What I think would be fun and put some back into the drivers hands is to change the index every round. For example let first round be a X.90, then the winners would get the new index for next round on their time slip. Lets say next round is X.83 and this could go on and vary 2 tenths from slow to fast for the entire duration of the event. This not only puts it in the drivers hand but also the tuners hand as well. Too many people have found the .90 number and do not change the stop numbers.
Just my thoughts |

I can guarantee it's not as easy as finding the .90 number and leaving it. Lol |

Re: Super Comp getting to be rediculous
This is nothing new and yes has gotten much worse. I have won rounds by .001 and lost by the same amount or less.....going back over 10 years. Lost in rd 1 at a Lucas race by .0006 and had a ..010 RT and ran a 8.903....2004 That one hurt but the opponent was one of the best drivers there is....
The only advantage is MPH and everyone knows it and most have moved up but as everyone moved up nothing changed....except we are going faster and using the brakes can get you in trouble a lot easier... I am also one who thinks the indexes should have been sped up and now 7.90 is not too fast for S/C. It won't change the tight racing but at least it wouldn't look as bad with less stop time.... If you win today it is as much luck as skill to me..... The latest-greatest devices sure seem to be making it even tighter... At a recent MASCA race in June....I think about 7 cars cars went 8.90x during time runs for qualifying......there was maybe 32-34 cars

Re: Super Comp getting to be rediculous
How about full tree, (get rid of pro light) and no delay boxes. Just throttle stops. Lets see how well you hit the bottom with a 6sec car

Says the bottom bulb racer. Index racing is the future, just a matter of when.

Re: Super Comp getting to be rediculous
I run S/G not S/C, but I feel, that on average the cars are 20 mph faster than I run. Some are almost 30 mph. I say go to instant green, and only the stage light to stage, no pre stage lite.
