Performance Based Stk/SS Racing

There are several racers on this forum who are always talking about Stock and S/S losing its performance based status. Well here’s an idea where you can prove you still have performance based classes.

At the LODRS events across the country the tracks are prepped and the racers are there. Talk to your Division Director and see if he would allow you to have a combo race on Friday or Saturday night of the event. Make it a no breakout combo race that proves just how fast you can go, not who’s the best driver with a bottle of shoe polish. Either get your own sponsors or make it a gamblers race to pay the purse. Don’t expect NHRA to put up any money, do it all yourself.

My suggestion would be handicapped off the indexes with no breakout. Of course the AHFS would NOT be in effect. There would still be a need to be fuel checked and weighed just to keep everyone honest. And no ringers would be allowed. The car must be entered into and qualified at the regular LODRS event.

This would not be a TOP Stock or Top S/S race since all classes of Stock and S/S would be invited to race, not just a select few. So how many of you performance oriented racers would be willing to put up your own money to race this way? Think about it and talk to your DD for next season.
