<![CDATA[Drag classes for the cars?]]>K, so....I've had more than a few people ask about having classes for the cars at the track.....kinda like what we do for the bikes.

The biggest hang up for this is how to class the cars effectively.

So, I'm looking for suggestions. I'll start...

-Quickest "slick tire" car

-Quickest "street tire" car

-Quickest "forced induction" 4-cylinder

-Quickest "forced induction" 8-cylinder

-Quickest "N/A" 4-cylinder

-Quickest "N/A" 8-cylinder

I'm looking for a list of no more than 6 awards.

Run indexes, if you get bumped switch the lettering on your car to T/T and go up. They run test and tune between every class of indexed cars.

Or any. You could put AWD in its own class, the only one around there on slicks (that i know of) is jeremys talon.

but then again you gotta race to win points :icon_jokercolor:

But that isn't how that indexing works. The racer picks their index. The LAST thing I want to have to do is babysit a bunch of racers.

True.....and it ruins the racing.

One problem in my mind Nick is that the TM days were created to give the area racers what they had been asking for.......a full day of open lanes to run their vehicles......not structured racing. If people want to bracket race, there are plenty of days to do that at IDrags and have a chance to win money.
Agree with Ethan.

Or even going out to the races not the bench racers.

Exactly.....NO answer is going to make everyone happy....but, believe me, wait till the bitching about "all that guy's doing is sandbagging" starts.

The reason the bike comp is successful is that it rewards progress. Sandbagging is not progress.

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