New D1 Rule for Stock/SS

david ring · 03-07-2013, 05:46 PM

Does anyone know of anyone in D1 who might be both at the bottom of the ladder and also always one of the last people to show up to race? In others words, do you think this is aimed at getting certain people to show up to race on time?

No more sleeping in if your at the bottom of the pack. I think it's a good move and it should apply to all

Anything that gets people in the lanes quicker is good by me. I waited fro 15 minutes at one race from the first call before going up, and was still one of the first cars in the lanes. Ridiculous.

Here in Div 4 they have drawn numbers for the first pairs.

One problem with first round is that you can't start your engine until first call. So if you start your car as soon as possible, you can't do a morning warm up before you must be at the lanes. If they want the morning to get going, start with classes like the Super Classes that don't have that problem. This proposed method only "fixes" first round, and the old class car chasing will be back in full swing. Almost like buying a first round win.

Sounds good to me. I go up first anyway!!!

In My opinon Super Stock should be ran after super comp any way as they would kinda of prepp the track with their burn out across the line and and our wheel will never be in their wheel base
