Whos the "new" track manager?

Wayne Delmonte, use to race in motorcycle and super and was also assistant manager a couple years ago.

Would racers in Top Dragster and Top Sportsman be interested in racing in the same class? Since i don't participate in either class i can't speak for u guys but i would think looking at it from a spectators perspective it would be more interesting to watch. They just started a Quick 32 Sportsman Series up in Canada last season, maybe something like that would work here? I'm sure Wayne would like to know everyone's opinion on something that we know will work and has a chance to succeed for years to come. For those interested here is a link to the rules, fees and points system that they used for the Quick 32 series up in Canada here it is:

I posted something similar on facebook but I know some people dont see that

I think the td/ts combo is kind of a cool concept. However, just a thought. I know the idea of a quick 32 was tossed around at the end of last year. I dont know if this should be ruled out.

Why not try fastest 32 cars no minimum. If #32 is an 8.50 thats what it is. If enough fast cars show up and its a 7.00 thats what it is. In my opinion this would almost guaruntee filling the field. It would also add some excitement to qualifying for the simple fact that an entry fee doesnt guaruntee you the right to race you have to earn that spot.

Only issue I see with this is I dont know if it could be called top dragster or top sportsman. Technically if the class is called top dragster. Everyone regardless of ET would need -15 suits, top dragster license, diaper, pressure tested and certified lines, etc. If its called quick 32 then only the cars who run the et quick enough to need these things would need them.

Technically wouldn't the class just be an advanced ET Super class?

Re: 2010 Top Dragster/Top Sportsman at Lebanon Valley

Any rules, max ET (7.90 or 8.50 or ??), schedule????

I think this is the way to go for you guys, I speak from experience, my local track on L.I. (closed now) used to run a Q16, no minimum. You can try 32, but you may not get full fields,(if you do, you may have alot of slower cars) we used to have about 25-30 trying for the 16spots with bonus pts for the top 10 qualifiers. The cars that didnt get in got free entry into Super ET. Making it 16 will keep the field fast, the slow cars were 9.0's and 8.90's usually. The program was simply called Quick 16.
