We can add them in too, no problem. But did you get the idea that I was trying to come up with ??

Just trying to lessen the classes. Run Class run offs with less classes, like Jeff Lee said.

How 'bout the entry fee, say it's $160. for arguements sake, take $100. a car & put it towards Class Elim.
Money, the other $60. goes towards the Handicap Elim. Money.
Say your running the A & B Class and 22 cars show up, take the 22 cars times $100. = $2200.
I don't know if you want to pay winner & runner up or what.??? we need help in this area.

The other $60. goes towards the "Handicap Elim". money pay out. if you had 32 total classes x $60.
that comes out to $1920.

Just trying to come up with ideas on a payout system.

What'dya think Terry

Pete,

I get your premse, regarding the lessening of the classes. I agree. I'd blend what both you and Dick Butler propose. Look at the combination of both weight breaks and indexes. Lump the various classes together using those. Go to full pound breaks, then even things out using the indexes. Like Dick Butler said, get people used to larger classes. I remember the large events in the 70's, you'd have a boatload of cars contesting class. I remember local events in the early 70's that it wasn't unusual to have run 3-4 rounds just to get into the eliminator.

It would be a little complicated but just need some homework. The guys doing the initial entry inspections would have a sheet in front of them. As the cars are teched, you'd be assigned a class based on that factoring. That way we'd keep out #HRA designation, just shoe polish your determined time. If we're allowd to dial under for the eliminator. For me that may not be a problem, early on, LOL!

Need to go earn some money today,
