    The index thing would be fun, but what determines who wins in the 15 and slower category, just for example. Some people will be able to hit the 15.00 and some won't. Or did I miss something and you dial in like say 15.5 and try to hit that consistently like bracket racing.

      Everyone who is in the 15.00 and slower races by random pairings. The winner is the first to the line, while running 15.00 or slower. If you win the race, but run 14.99, and your opponent runs 15.00 or slower, you lose.

      This is the same for all of the index classes.

        So if your car cant get run a 15.00 you are at a severe disadvantage to a car that can.

            Any car with simple mods should be capable of 15.0s.... it gives the younger kids something to strive for not a lot of money and should actually provide for the largest class. It will also probably be a huge amount of fun for most of the people who race it. Well, as much fun as going down the track in 15 seconds can be I guess.

              No its not i'm not saying that, but lets be honest there are some cars that run out there that cant even get close to a 15.00.

                      just might be if some of the evo drivers are hitting 15's like jail bait.

                          I'll throw my 2 cents into the index class idea.....although it does "include" more cars, and you don't have to be very quick to win something.....it turns into a "sandbagging-fest" instantly....which sucks.

                          This happens every time at bike day and is bs to participate in as well as spectate.

                            Sounds like bracket racing to me.

                                Here are 6 classes that I've been asking people about...

                                Quickest RWD street tire

                                Quickest FWD street tire

                                Quickest AWD street tire

                                Quickest RWD slick tire

                                Quickest FWD slick tire

                                Quickest AWD slick tire

                                One problem I see with this is the lack of AWD cars on slicks.
