Roadsters in TS or TD

TS310C · 12-09-2011, 05:18 PM

Rock and others,

Do you think we could get roadsters included in TS or TD? It would be nice to have some options other that SG and SC. I am sure there are a few others that could run in these classes off the stop. Sure I wouldn't be able to qualify everywhere, but it would be a nice change of pace for some of the slower races. I don't have doors and a roof to qualify for TS and I am left hand steer so I don't qualify for TD. What do you all think?

Rampy's A/EA car roadster has run deep in the sevens so don't think cert is the issue...

Rampy drives an Altered, not a Roadster.

Just clearin' things up bro, because alterds are allowed in TD. Im sure there are plenty of Roadsters going faster than 7.50.

Not sure why you felt the need to be sarcastic. No one said anything about selling tickets. It's about the racers and giving us options. I don't know about you, but I don't race for my adoring fans, I race for me!

If you can get your roadster (TS) or altered (TD) to meet the certification requirements, why not as long as there is a minimum weight rule in place. Or are the guys in TS going to complain about the potential aero advantage of a roadster over a car with a full windshield?

I think roadsters should be allowed to run in TD. You would avoid any issues with weight and aero advantages. All open cockpit vehicles in one class. I doubt it will happen any time soon.
