Default Re: Performance Based Stk/SS Racing

Travis,
I think it is a great idea - but I don't see it happening in D-1 because there's already too much on the schedule. A while back (like late 90's early 00's) D-1 used to have a gamblers type race race early Friday evenings at some of the points meets. They took the top 8 in reaction time from each class S/SS and the .90 classes (if you signed up prior to the time trials). It really was a lot of fun. Some guys did have a problem with it being based on RT. It did not last long though. And now, with Top Sportsman, Top Dragster, Snow Mobiles on the schedule - I'm sure it will never happen.

You have to remember that the now defunct NSCA did something similar... (Around '03-'05) with a CIC type system in place...a generous payout too.... and guess what? Hardly anyone showed for these races. I was able to make to 2 of them (You were at one of em, I remember) - but again, due to lack of support it was gone relatively quickly.
