Bellingham is now a seasonal track and they will do one track change in the middle of the season. So that gives them 1 race date in December.

To be honest I'm a budget racer and it's way cheaper for someone to race 1 car in 2 classes. I did that the last 2 years of the ECT. Mod. buggy and Superstock. It's way to long of a day for one class. Also I'm trying to get some of the fast racers out of stock and with a 10.5 it will get them used to Mod. and should help Mod. buggy racing at local club races. It also allows mid. and lower pack Mod. racers to have double the track time on race day and help them get faster.

But if guys are going to just run a 10.5 in both classes (super and open), and boost it to the moon... it will literally be TWO separate mod buggy races. At least make it 10.5 blinky?

I understand your point of view , don't think I did not try to expand it futher .

Having the ability to race two class's is just the HD version of your view...


Its Cross Over TIME
>>>>hopefully some will race mod when they wouldn't of if there was no SS class....

No the top Mod. racers will not race in SuperStock. They can if they want to but they won't. It's more of a skill level that will separate the classes and help get drivers who do not have a shot to win open mod. out of the stock class and help them get faster and allow racers with less skill to have a chance to make the Stock A main.

When I read the list of classes, I assumed it would be 10.5 blinky. Marty, can we get some clarification?

I'm a fan of a SS buggy class, and it had traditionally been one of the most popular classes if not the most popular class. If you wanted to do 10.5 with boost, I think you might as well just make it sportsman mod and expert mod with no motor restriction. I've seen 10.5 boosted sedans pull 5.5 non-boosted sedans down the straight away and there is legend of Daniel Lea kicking butt in the Mod buggy class with a boosted 17.5 against 7.5 and 6.5s.

Marty, you put on a great series. Thanks for getting it going.

This topic is a sore one for me, starting to loose interest in the series.

I fought this battle years ago and looked foolish

Why not call the 10.5 class a mod class and have the mod class a invite only class so there is no people running that class that has no business there ruining everyone like last yr.

Marty dates look great . BRCR is in.
I also like Jeff's idea about the mod class as a invite class. I know there where a few mod guys at our track that should be in the 10.5 class not the mod class. This way no one will have there feelings hurt on the drivers stand.....
