Do away with the 1000' incremental times in Sportsman racing.

How about a year of no changes or "enhancements" so we can just enjoy racing?

Hemi Moose · 12-31-2012, 05:55 PM

Hmm, lets see...

More tracks built everywhere, but I know it won't happen...

New management, can they be bought out...

New rules in certain classes...

Cheaper entrance fees & more money for payouts...

I could go on...

It would not take anymore time, because if I run a SS/AM car they still have to wait for me to get off the track before they can run the next pair.

As long as fouls don't count in qualifying, the driver of the faster car can just leave any time he wants after the other green. For example, if I were trying to qualify the hypothetical SS/AM car, I wouldn't want to be sitting on the line for an extra five seconds for a meaningless 'race' with your SS/GS car, getting hotter and killing my ET.

To make qualifying more interesting, pair the cars closely by index, in reverse order, slowest to fastest. The spectators will know that the cars will keep getting faster as the session progresses and they will want to stay in their seats to the end so they don't miss the most exciting cars. Also, post a bounty for low ET of each session and track the best time on the scoreboard.

I doubt you will get people to line up according to their ET for qualifying. LOL

Art,
I've been saying that for years, would add a lot to the time runs.

I agree with you, it brings some excitement back.

I would like to see jeff Teuton live to be 106 and still be racing.For his seed to be used to birth another 100 like him.(artificially of course don't want to wear the old guy out) And for Bo Kenny to have his Amex card taken away from him.Me I would just like to race more and win something that would be a big change.
Finally however I would like to see IHRA bring back the Pros( and Top Stock) and the racing they had about 5 years ago when we had some of the most fun you could ever have at a track and the nationals were packed.
