Second Tex275 class

[582nova]

I'm not making any excuses for anything just saying what I think.

Do you not think if we just had one local track and all classes raced just once a month like Oklahoma or Houston car count wouldn't grow for every class? Not trying to start an argument just asking a simple question.

I agree also.

Also look at Houston has the biggest payout on local x275 race every month. Oklahoma has more cars than them and they have a way bigger payout. Don't hold me to the numbers but I think the last two races they had 16-18 cars only. Our class has 12-16 on average with only 1,200 to win. I can only think of about maybe 20 local cars that say they will run with us and out of that we normally only get about 12 if that. If the class keeps getting faster more will drop out. There is no perfect fix for the class all we can try to do it still have fun. That's what Oklahoma does they don't have a high entry fee, pays good and the guys just like having fun. Wish we could pick up sponsers and do the same but we never can get enough to pay out every month and it not a lack of us trying to get them.

Thats why I suggested a gamblers race for the Bigtimers LOL not give the money to the slow class............. Millionaires are that for a reason they are not givers...

Team up and sponsor each class.

IMO the class has gotten to fast and out of hand. From what i see at the track, There are a bunch of guys that run 5.3-5.7 ish but cannot afford or maybe do not have a desire to go faster. If you could create a class that the fastest guys runs .2 or maybe a teen like a couple years ago, car count could be much higher. There are a bunch of cars I would see in the class that no longer run. I remember a coulple old 60's camaros, couple random fox bodies, wanting to say a couple novas that I have not seen back in the past couple years. Those guys were 5.3-5.4 ish cars.

You could do that, but have you read this thread? Lol, it's a joke. The FAST cars are wanting to run the "sissy" class. Never mind the fact that the reason for the "sissy" class is for the slower cars to bring up the car count. Not for the people who have unlimited amounts of cash to run with and run away with the class.

Drag racing is in fact "He with the most money wins" game.

X2. a reason y I enjoy brackets. It can be more of a drivers race. But im way slow so I have no real dog in any of this anyways just my .02

What did I miss?

There better be a X275 next year...and what's wrong with a $200 buy in to get a $2000 payout to win?

Most of the working class simply can't afford to keep getting faster. I don't see 275 growing locally unless it slows down. But that won't ever happen.

The class didn't get out of hand. The class simply advanced more for some while others stayed at the same ET.
Those few guys who are in the 5.20-5.70 range will continue to stay away from the class. Slowing it down .15-.20 isn't going to change the car count. It only breaks it into two classes. One class will blossom while the other will fizzle out. Changing entry fee will keep those cars away.

People that use the word "afford" should not own a X275 car.

Yep!
People that use that word should just stay home.
