Big $$$ S/SS Races as a Business Model..Viable?

[Dave Muller]

How about this for an event-within-the-event to get more spectator interest. Have a no breakout race where everyone races off of their index. Make the entry a separate deal so it's just those who feel they have a shot at it.

While I agree the bracket format is confusing to spectators I think it's only the dial-in/breakout combination that confuses them. They can easily understand that the guy with the little engine gets to leave first and the guy with the bigger engine chases. In fact it adds excitement in many cases. People always seems to like it when a 9 second car chases a 14 or 15 second FWD car. So basically just run it like one big combo race.

Seems to me that's just about how it was done way back when.

Dave, that was the idea behind the CIC race like they had at The Class Racer Revival. It was very cool and fun to watch. U lost any index under a second under. So like comp just with a faster under the index competition control trigger, very fun and exciting
