ADRL SuperCar Showdown Norwalk Racers...

So with all the racers that wanted this and begged for it just SIX cars all Fords, why bother a slow painful death?

Re: ADRL SuperCar Showdown Norwalk Racers...
 

All things take time. It takes years of hard work to become "an overnight success".

Re: ADRL SuperCar Showdown Norwalk Racers...
 

The question is, why are the racers that begged (just had to have Heads Up) not supporting it?

Re: ADRL SuperCar Showdown Norwalk Racers...
 

We actually had seven cars and we're extremely happy. Of the nine drivers who attended Indy, only three were at Norwalk; in other words, we drew a lot of new racers. The fans loved it and the racers had a great time. The only place in the world which doesn't seem happy with the SuperCar Showdown program is ClassRacer.com! LOL!

Re: ADRL SuperCar Showdown Norwalk Racers...
 

My question still has not been answered by the races, why are they not supporting this?

Re: ADRL SuperCar Showdown Norwalk Racers...
 

Ralph, maybe you should quit being such a contrarian and freakin build a car....any car. It seems clear that despite your Bruce Wayne like avatar; you are capable and connected. The only thing it seems you lack is a positive attitude and the stones to stand up with your identity.
You ask for a lot of answers for a person that gives none. Come on man! Or woman or....nevermind.....

Bret, I don't think that's true, sure there are a couple of people that might think whatever of the series, and that's their right or opinion...as far as the racers that support the Super Car Series and show up to these events, I guess they're happy too competing against whoever else that shows up...but I have to question, so how long can this really go on. If everything is fine and dandy and everyone is happy, does this mean ADRL is content with just a hand full of competitors showing up? If so that means the series is just 'filler material' for them, I mean they are just putting on this series with no pay outs of any kind, so was this the purpose from the get go? Maybe I'm wrong, and they were hoping for a bigger turnout, or maybe we were...Maybe next year ADRL can put up some money for the racers so they can at lease cover their expenses, and I bet you'd get a lot more support next year if they do decide to change it from the way it is currently run...It sure did sound good at the beginning with all of those Super Car Series advertisements with several manufactures going head to head against each other...can't keep running with no return of some sort, it just ain't going to work out no matter what everyone else says...So the ball is ADRL's court, and I really hope they come up with a better solution...whats that old saying, Go West young man...and it wouldn't hurt to run a few races out that way either...ahh the politics of racing, don't you just love it.

Ummm...what exactly is keeping it from going on?

Re: ADRL SuperCar Showdown Norwalk Racers...
 

On topic or not, Bret, I wanted you to know some of us love the class both in person and via the Live Streaming coverage! Including when your microphone was left on / open between runs! Hint, hint!

Re: ADRL SuperCar Showdown Norwalk Racers...
 

Nothing I guess...that is until you only have a few racers that show up for an event? Again I'm not trying to start anything, but come on, didn't you really expect more support yourself...and I don't want to hear that everyone is having fun, we get that...honestly didn't you expect more. Where's all those exotic super cars that were supposed to show up...it didn't happen. ADRL will have make some changes if this thing is going to be as big as it was supposed to be or talked about at the beginning...or maybe they are just content the way things are.

Re: ADRL SuperCar Showdown Norwalk Racers...
 

Maybe because I only got my COPO a couple of weeks ago and have not been home since!


Bret,

Please post the ADRL plan for next year as soon as you can. It would be nice if you had some kind of points series. I am sure that would attract a few more racers too.

Good Luck,

Daren

I have to laugh.. Everybody squeals for a "heads up" eliminator and then when somebody has the gonads to create one it just devolves into whining and sniveling about how "it ain't fair" because “so and so has bla bla bla” until it dissolves.. sort of reminds me of Top Stock..

Brett, keep up the good work, it is nice to see someone trying to do something for the sport even if the racers end up not supporting it. If you keep trying you will eventually get it right. Personally I think the Super Car Series is pretty cool!

I think it is a neat series that they are putting on. Wish that more cars would join the fun, however it seems that these things start off a little slow at times.

I think an eliminator that all stock/super stock cars can fit in....like how Pat runs the CIC race at the SportsNationals... now that is just the next step!! :D:D

Love the different camera angles...could use a bit less music, but, still awesome! Thanks, Bret / ADRL!

May as well just modify the name.

Not SuperCar Showdown.... it is SuperCharged ShowDown
