Track is making up rules - Page 4

And I fully agree with that. However, if you would of slowed down enough not to raise eyebrows and be able to dial inside the class, there would be no issue.
In other words, if your running a 10 sec car and slow it to 13:00 and dial it 13:00 there is no issue. And if your running 13:00 at 110mph..well your the same as a new stock 5.0 mustang with a good top end charge. (and no I don't agree with a 13:00 170mph car running 13:00 97mph cars)

DON i get it i just dont think you should be able to go faster than 12.00 in sportsman PERIOD

I am confused about the rule they claim to be following. In the Super classes you are not DQ'ed for going under the .90 are they saying if a 9.90 car runs under 8.90 it is DQ'ed?

Dave Jung · 07-12-2011, 04:23 PM

No, they are confused. They are saying if you run 10.899 in s/st you are out.(wrong) Obviously if the other guy runs 10.895 the guy running 10.899 wins a double breakout race. This is a silly rule and should be changed back.

Larry,
Putting personal feelings aside can you come up with a reason this rule should be followed based on the rulebook we all have to follow?
The problem I have with the track making this rule is the tech guy quoting a rule from another class of cars.
It would be like saying all stockers have to use an engine diaper because super comp has to.

Phil larry will never get it he doesnt run in sportsman and has no car that will run 12.00 .And if he gets one bring it out and line up next to me and phil and see how easy it is to run in sportsman. DON THE WORM ELGIN

Hmmm,
I see a grudge match forming, Maybe I'll have to come down to Seattle this weekend. LOL

I guess the next time you race there Phil,shut the car off at the 1000` in time trials and dial 12.20 for elims. No "offensive" breakouts will occur and you should be good to go. Just be ready for the slow car that disappears just before the stripe that`s on to you.

That's all well and fine,but let's put it into perspective of S/SS racing.I don't think guys should click it at 1000'.I don't see anybody looking to change that sceneario.Just saying.

Toby Lang · 07-12-2011, 09:52 PM

If they will let you dial 12.00 they have to give you some allowance to breakout.

I have an idea. Why don't they change the rule to say if you run faster than 11.90 you are DQ'd after one warning? Or if they are so concerned about cars running in the 11s, make the minimum dial 12.10 and a DQ for anything under 12.00.

What do you think about that, Phil?
