Stock and Super Stock qualiying

Why, why would anyone even bring this up….

I just don’t know why some people insist on poking the bear. The bear that affords us the opportunity to race our special, pricy, labor intensive cars/classes, which aren’t contested in anything resembling the traditional format in any other sanctioning body in the country.

Will you folks finally be happy if they just pull the plug on our classes?

We require a lot of work on their part. Scales, fuel check, ladders, tech, hp indexes, pairing. And then you all just whine and beat up on them more. At what point do they say, enough with these primadonnas and all that extra work.

I know a lot of you cherish the old days. But the old days also had you going home for the eliminator if you didn’t win class. It had you working on your stuff in a hotel parking lot at night because you couldn’t stay at the track.

Can we please just enjoy what we have, and understand we aren’t the only racers paying the entry fees? And that the real revenue that keeps our sanctioning body alive is the spectator admission revenue at national events? It’s extremely simple math to confirm that.

When I raced in division one in the early 80s. It was random pairing first round. I surely can remember the game playing was part of first round planning. Qualifying is a race in itself. The double up events leave no chance to play during quaifying when the second race starts.One and go!
