Index Change Rumor

Mike Pearson · 11-22-2019, 02:41 PM

Cant see how that would help our classes. I know some that quit when the indexes were lowered last time. Probably raising the trigger would be a better idea. Not everyone in our class is a millionaire and it should not be a millionaire club.

Nor should it become so easy, it becomes like spec bracket racing...

To promote more heads up races we will be on 1 lb classes.

Is this cast in stone or just a rumor as well?

Believe me it is not particularly easy now. At Least not for me. The classes are already gray hair classes for the most part. I remember when I first started racing a class car many years ago. It took a while to figure it out and be able to run under the index. By making it even more difficult to compete will not help the growth of the class or its sustainability. We are already dropping like flys and not many new faces showing up. Rampy just retired stating that the risk is not worth the reward and he is the best of the best and one of the very few that had some sponsorship in Sportsman. Plus lots of others that are just too old or have health issues that bring them to retire. For sure we don't want it to turn in to Comp eliminator.

Mark Yacavone do even race anymore? I didn't see you on the Q sheet that you posted a few pages back.

Did I miss something? Has the forum title been changed to "Street Outlaw Forum"??
