Re: What Happened To Competition Eliminator Car Counts?
Look at the stands and starting line area in this video.
Whether you like to admit it or not, "class racing" (in it's current form) will never put fans in the stands. It's just boring and confusing for normal people to watch. http://youtu.be/4O2cCR_ROMs?list=UUg...lW2KEyhhAgIQjA |

My personal take on Comp is the 'Diversity' NHRA tries to sell for comp has no buyers. Good guys, work hard, and the group is getting smaller each year. Really too bad, but such is life.

Re: What Happened To Competition Eliminator Car Counts?
I hurt my motor, so I came home to see if I can fix it for eliminations tomorrow
Here is the live feed:.http://new.livestream.com/MotorManiaTV/2014-NoMercyV I haven't been to a divisional there but today the cars started at the front entry gate and went all the way around to the back gate for the roundy round track. There were another twenty rigs parked on the circle track. The place was packed. I was up there a couple of years ago and they had over 70 cars trying to qualify for 32 slots. A couple of weeks before Gainesville div had 34 dragster trying for 32 slots in Top dragster. NHRA sent the two dragsters home even though I heard three qualified dragsters broke.They said it would screw up the div points. . At Ducks race, he added a "B" main with a $1500 pot for the non qualifiers to run for. That is why the place is packed, he takes care of his racers. |

Re: What Happened To Competition Eliminator Car Counts?
Thanks for the video of Modified eliminator. It did bring back memories, I used to attend the races at Atco raceway in the 70's and it got me to thinking, x275 is the modified eliminator of Today. What the old highlight video does not show is the clutch blowing out of the car when the driver hit 4th gear and scattering parts all over the track for at least a 1/2 hour cleanup. Or the axle breaking just off the starting line and the car going into the grass (no gaurdrails at edge of asphalt in those days) and jumping the cables and almost going into the parked tow cars. Did you know that a car actually hit the scoreboard at the end of the track after it jumped the guardrail in the 70"s at Atco.
Thanks for making me think, so hopefully this friday, I will be at maple grove nationals for the sportsman and Saturday at Cecil for the x275 cars. I will let you know which ones I like better. |
