Hood Scoops to Comp

Don Kennedy · 12-08-2009, 12:05 AM

Since NHRA Competiton Eliminator car count is down what about moving any car in Super Stock that has an after market Hood scoop on it to Comp eliminator . this would be a good move on NHRA part to help save Comp Eliminator to help increase the car count in that eliminator would be a wise move or a bad move ??.

let it rip boys and girls

ps The post has absolutely nothing to do with anyone personally Just a simple post so Please no one read into this other than what was posted .Just maybe a way to save comp if it is in trouble with car count , just a simple statement nothing more everyone wheww

I guess Don doesn't have an agenda with this idea.If someone has the patience to list all the so called Pro Sportsman Racers I think you'll see quite a number run hood scoop cars. That means he has a better chance to go a round or two.Wadda ya say Don?
I don't have to deal with them so it's just an "opinion" on my part.

Once again, you have to think long term and consider all of the ramifications. The faulty premise here is presuming that all hood scoop cars would 1) continue to race and 2) would race in Comp eliminator. In all likelihood, all this would accomplish would be some "hood scoop" racers quit, and other build a different combination. This would be like telling certain Stock & Super Stock cars, "Oh, you run 9's... you can just run Super Gas." And how many have done that? Exactly 1, I believe. So, you end up not only NOT increasing car counts in Comp, but decreasing the car count in Super Stock, while simultaneously devaluing the equipment owned by a large number of racers.

As a conservative, you should know that you cannot successfully legislate an outcome. Don't "abandon free market principles to save the free market." The sanctioning body does not *create* participation. It creates an environment where participation may exist, if the customers like that environment and its incentives.

i run a hoodscoop car and would have no problem going to comp, but better yet, bring back modified. it is not that i will be competetive in comp, but i understand where legitimate ss cars are coming from. we did not ask to get dumped in there, that is where they told us to go. again, i know where ss cars are coming from, and take no offense.

Ok Don I will bite. I see your point on trying to keep the class more stock appearing. So lets go one step further any and all GT cars that were produced front wheel drive must stay front wheel drive or else move up to comp also? How does this sound?

The real problem it seems to me is the lack of cars in comp eliminator and Plenty of cars in Super stock eliminator ,me personally if comp goes away it will hurt everyone even stock and Super Stock ,some of you all don't remember when NHRA did away with Modified it was not good so if you want comp to stay around I would be pro active in getting the car count up . If you think comp is not being looked with ways to increse car count then think again it is .

Don responded by "cool" I would not mind that > I like comp they get the good pit spaces and actually have a set time to run .

Michael said This :"Once again, you have to think long term and consider all of the ramifications"

don says I agree

Michael said "This would be like telling certain Stock & Super Stock cars, "Oh, you run 9's... you can just run Super Gas." And how many have done that?

Is this going to be another post as Super Stock has plenty of car count this post is about looking in the future and seeing if comp may be in trouble and solving the issue of no car count before comp goes away because lack of car count in my opinion
