Poll Question:
We are looking into the idea of having a race on friday for those who are wanting more racing action for the weekend. Here is the format. $100 entry fee, 3.20 - 5.50 e.t range, pro tree. $600 to the winner, $300 to the runner-up and $150 to the semi finalists. We would take a 24 car maximum field. Let us know if that is something you would be intrested in doing. We would need to get 24 cars to make this happen.

The test and tune will remain unchanged regardless of wether or not we run the gambler.

3.20 CARS SHOULD NEVER RUN 5.50 CARS FOR SAFTEY REASONS! THE 100MPH CAR MIGHT RUN OVER THE TOP OF A 60MPH CAR IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG!
JUST MY 2 PENNYS.
KEEP IT SAFE

| Mike, I understand what you are saying. If you think about it though, it is no different than a "super comp" race on asphalt. Say it's an 8.90 index but you have a car that's on the throttle stop for 1-3 seconds. The car that's not on the stop as long will be chased by the faster car. And at speeds much greater than 60 mph. |

As an asphalt racer, sandman makes a good point. One of the more common brackets on asphalt is known as super pro. It is 7.00 - 11.99 e.t. break. A 7.00 car runs about 190 mph, while an 11.99 car runs about 110 mph...80 mph difference. I am not siding either way on the speed difference, just stating some facts that occur at hundreds of racetracks weekly. I do understand the concerns of the speed differences and this is why we have this topic up for discussion.

Jody, A Friday gambler is a great idea. 3.20 to 5.20 is really a wide window. It would be better if the blinders were removed for that race.
