I just think that the fans that do come out are let down ....I think its become a limited area of entertainment ....what I mean by that is that grudge racing ....its a 2 - 4 man deal ....alway the same people ...the reason why the round d round track has so many in attendance is that the spectators are fans of a particular driver and they are all guaranteed to see their racer go head to head against a varied field of participants ....in drag racing there always has to be an underdog and always a david vs goliath ....thats what packs a house ....even up classes are great ,,,,,total indexing sucks ....but I still think that when you have a winner in one class .....lets say you have a few classes ....lets say a winner of the 6.0 class and then lets say a winner of a 5.0 class .....I say lets match em up at the end .....with an index ...ONLY so they can be even ..... and the winner of that class takes it all ....period ....I would come out to see that one ....so in the long run ....here is how it would be done .....
you have your regular classes .....whatever they are .....lets say for grits and grins you have a 5.0 a 5.50 and a 6.0 class...... you have $$$$ for the tech card ....entry fee whatever it is .....
you have a payout and trophy for the classes .....then you have a big dog shootout at the end .....with all the $$$$ that was the payout for all the the classes up for grabs ....
then you have the index at the end which makes all the cars even.......then whoever wins those races gets all the money ( which then takes care of your big money payout , because in actuality the winner walks with all the moneys vested in the first place for the original payout)
Doesnt cost the track any more money ....and then the winner walks with the big dog trophy and the dollars at the end of the day ....so its an all or nothing kinda thing .....so when you think about it ....it all comes down to the basics .....every one has a chance to win in their index classes ...then at the end all drivers and cars are tested at the end for the big pay off....
and of course the coveted big dog trophy ....another way to think about it is the drivers are no longer competing for their index trophy they are actually racing against everybody at the track .....that they were the best driver at the track that day and that they had the best machine for that day as well .....\
Obviously , there is a down side to all of this and that would be that those that chose to show up ....put in the costs of participating and didnt win ...then they walk away with nothing ....no 2nd place money ,,,nothing nada zip ....well in my opinion 2nd place is noted as you did good but you didnt win .....sorry ...better luck next time ....this program has everything a racer and spectator needs ..... Index classes running head to head ....then at the end ......all winners are matched indexed accordingly then the big final with the big payout ...
how many times do you think a winner of the 6.0 guys can then run against the winner of the 5.0 guys and then let alone have it mean something ....
I dont know what the payouts are any more ....but lets just say it was soemthing like this .....8 car fields 50 dollar entry ...each class payout is 400 and a trophy as not to forget the internet pictures
lets say you have 3 classes ....same entry for all classes .........then you have your three winners running for a total payout of 1200.00 and of course the coveted big dog trophy and major ....did I mention MAJOR bragging rights until the next one ......then as an added bonus at the end of the racing season ....you then could have a big dog run off ......with all the big dogs coming together to see who is really the best ,,,,,,this would of course be in hopes that there would be a multitude of particiapnts which in turn would then reflect a multitude of winners that would do battle at the end of the year .....
anyway ....just my point of view for something new and interesting .......
This may cause some stir .....some may say ...dude youre an idiot ......a dreamer and dont even know what drag racing is all about ....that your not even close to the action and have lost all touch with the current situation ....that may be true ,,,,,, but this I do know .....that change is necessary because this cow that you guys and gals are milking is running dry and that old news is just that ....old news ....that something has to change and flwexibility is key for the hard times ....so say whatever you need to say ....it is as they say what it is ,,,,,, have a nice holiday ...thanks
