Another low car count?

[Ed Wright]

If you think races are won with lights like that you have not been paying attention. All bracket racers seem to think they cut better lights than S/SS racers. Not at any bracket races I've been to. Why do you think we are interested in your opinions?

You simply do not understand. Not in the least. You do not get it, and you never will. It has been explained to you by several people, in several ways. It ain't gettin through.

And I'll put my jockey up against most anyone, he drives both ends of the track pretty well. We don't have the fastest cars in our classes, we're mid pack at best. Most of our heads up races have been very close.

You fellas are so right.... Yall are like my dad two ways to do things his way and the wrong way. GOOD LUCK w the car counts peace out

By the way I only said 150 lights pertaining to guys in heads up races that have their opponent covered by 3 or 4 tenths. Does anyone really think that a little guy who takes a week off of work spends over 1000 bucks to go to a nat event w his b c or dsa car for example and makes it 4 or 5 rds and then gets outrun by 3 or 4 tenths just before the money rd by a 150000 drag pak car says oh that's drag racing? No you've just created a bracket racer and made your CAR COUNT lower.

Whatever.

More than a couple of fast guys with traditional cars have been beaten heads up by the new cars, they haven't quit. The new cars are not a major reason for the car counts being low, regardless of what baseless theories are wandering about in your head.

Most of the guys who have to worry about the new cars run AA through C, and they're not the only ones staying home. they're not the reason we have not been out yet, either. I don't like them, but they will not be what keeps us from racing, if anything does.

Because stock and super/stock are a performance based class.

Well I'll tell you this. The bracket racing crowd had better pray class racing don't go away. If the stock and super stock racers all shifted to brackets their would be a lot of you going home early. Some class racers are deadly in bracket mode. Even I win a bracket race once in a while and I wouldn't be a threat to most of the hitters in class racing. It's good to be lucky once in a while.

No offense but I aint gonna lose any sleep over that people who are in bracket mode every time they race are pretty deadly too. We invite all comers the more the merrier.
