Combo racing...
 

Is it coming back to Beech Bend next year? I love watching the Stockers and Super Stockers race! Oh by the way, new guy here. Just a lowly bracket racer. :)

Hey, we all started with bracket racing! Jim

Re: Combo racing...
 

Not all of us Jim......Brackets had not been invented on the east coast when I started drag racing.....LOL.

I think we should have at least as many races at Beech Bend as we had last year and hopefully more.

I started to say that. The slow guys ran the trophy eliminator. :-)

Cool thanks. I'm a youngster (23) and I try to explain Stock/Super Stock racing to some of my friends and they just look at me with a stupid look on their face. :confused: I guess they just haven't been raised around a dragstrip like I have.

What is the payout there? Is it one or two races?

Re: Combo racing...
 

There are one day races on Sunday, and "two day" races that are two races, one on Saturday night and one Sunday. It's $50 to enter, I think it pays $1500. We had 61 cars at the last two races. A big thank you to Comp Cams, TCI, and Beech Bend for the combo series this year.

Jason, I'm glad to see you enjoy stock/super stock, as for your friends you need educate them that you can go fast without opening up the jeg's catalog an saying I need a big cam, etc. to go fast. There's nothing wrong with bracket racing, until you get your car to run the index then your in the game. Remember a cam here a converter there an before you know it you there! Also ask question when at the B.G. combo race's and you might be surprised how fast you get to the index.

Jason,

Great to hear of your interest. Can you tell me if your friends that have that "look" on their faces understand the rules, or do they want to just look for an easier way to go go fast?

It sounds like you were raised around this so you understand. I did the same. I like the rules and working within that set of rules. I have felt that many young people I work with do not want to follow rules, and I only hope that it is where I work, not the norm.

I am just inquiring for my own thoughts
