hello gentleman
good to see some great posts. i have no problem with placing stock and pro stock together, it makes for good racing i think. i think the problem that certain drivers have is when you are racing with newbies they are not sure when to get out of the way. but we can educate them on how procedures work!! i say lets give it a try? let me know what others think and we can bring it up at our annual general meeting

Even if there's no handicap system, after the first resort faster guys will race faster guys. So I don't think that's will be a big deal. I know when I first started racing I like racing the fast guys it made me faster.
How many people are going to show up on Sunday? I'll like to be able to race. I will be there at 9:00 AM.
As for tires I would run sorex 28 in the morning. But by main times I'll use sorex 32, and maybe 36's if the temp is above 30C. If it hot out I think the 28's will burn up in 1 or 2 heats.

One thing mentioned to me today about having 2 stock classes is that there was going to have end of season prizes for all classes and if we go to only have one stock class some people will lose the chance for a end of season prize. Just something to remember.
So who's coming out to the track on sunday?

prizes at the end of the season are a small price to pay when you consider how much easyier it will be to run the races, and running only 1 stock class will turn the 2 boring 4 car mains into and exicting 8 car main on days when turnout is low. alos I agree that running with the faster car helps people to get faster.
anyone going out tomorow?

Keep the classes split so someone can win a prize?!?!? Now that would be pure catering to one or two guys. Ask the top 5 racers in the club if they really care about a prize at the end of the year. If the only reason someone is racing is to try and win a prize at the end of the year, they are missing the point of the hobby. Your supposed to be having fun and enjoying yourself. Club racing is just that, club racing. If your after prizes, hit the big races and try your mettle. I don't think that someones ability to win a club prize should have any bearing on if we run one stock class and one mod class.

Gary, would you be happy racing in the C or D main all the time? I know people that are just happy to race and if they inprove thier time it's a great weekend. I'm the same way. I would like to here from all the members to here what they think. I'm for having one of each class. I think it would get resolved at the agm in September.

i hate to say this but gary is right!!!!! yes gary i'm choking right now. prizes don't mean a thing we just like to go out and have good clean racing.. what we can do is go on points series. for each quarter of racing 3 or 4 months. lets show an example!!!
lets use a 3 month process, there are potentially 12 races in 3 months. not everyone can make all 12 races, unless you have no life like ian. just joking!!! so out of those 12 weeks lets make 10 of the races count for points. using the f1 point system we used last year it gives people still a chance to climb the standings and still have the flexability to miss a few weekends. at the end of the quarter we can have prizes for the top 8 and tropies for the top 3 positions. as the club membership changes sometimes we needs to adapt to the new ways of thinking!!!! we can always go back to the old way if people dont like it.
