Hood Scoops to Comp

Don Kennedy · 12-08-2009, 10:54 AM

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 .

Jason said "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?

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

Aint gonna happen, so it doesn't matter what anybody here says.

Hood scoop cars don't bother me, and we have plenty of them around here.

Comp is crazy expensive, not all that far off of Pro Stock if your going to be really fast, with less pay back. It would just hurt our car counts. I don't see the upside.

Don,

I realize that this may not be the typical scenario, but in Seattle this year, there were 22 cars in SS, 6 of which were hood scoop cars and Sonoma had 38 cars, 7 or which were hood scoop cars.

Memphis had 56 SS, 15 of which were hood scoop cars and Virginia had 52 cars, 16 of which were hood scoop cars.

I'm really not sure we can say that there is an abundance of Super Stockers...
