How about severely limiting "Super" class entries?

Excellent idea Ron. I would think they could still stumble along at idle but it wouldn't be for several seconds. Cuts the annoyance. Also lessens the risk of 1200hp cars getting loose launching again far from the starting line.

If that was the solution to more people being able to compete Personally I would not have a problem with that. I like 1/8th mile racing.

Take away all of the electronic devises and it would make a much better spectator event. Same people would win most of the time but it would be a lot better to watch and add a couple of new skills.

If the electronics are the reason that no spectators watch the Super classes, what are the reasons they don't watch Comp, Super Stock, and Stock?

It might, but there are a lot of companies that sell the stuff needed for this type of racing. What do they do if all this stuff is outlawed........

Anyway, for the spectators going to a National Event, do you think most of them care too much about the Sportsman Racing? Face it, no one is going to sit still for 10-14 hours a day and never leave their seats. I know when I go, when my friends running the .90 Classes come out, I go find food! I get to watch them most weekends at our local tracks, and the Divisional Races. I certainly don't need to sit and watch them until the late rounds if I still have some friends in.

What we don't get to see a lot is the Stock and Super Stock racers. They rarely Bracket Race due to the cost of wear and tear on their stuff. They aren't built for that type of racing. So when they are running at a National my butt is parked in the stands watching them! I have a lot of friends in those two classes and used to drive a Stocker myself.
