Overall had a great time.
To bad they ruined the unlimited class by putting 2 shop cars in it. Everyone one knows it was BS even the people at LUCAS. Any car with a billboard on the car obviously is a shop car. If it is your car you should drive it. The 2 of them should not have even been aloud to run being they did not qualify. They refused a guy in the modified class from running because he did not qualify. Then the way they lined them up with the 2 FASTEST UNLIMITED NON SHOP cars was also BS. Muddfinger and The Baron should have had a chance to win. That would have made for a great show. I totally lost interest when the IPS and LMR car were in this class. OWNERS SHOULD DRIVE. I drove my car 9 hours and raced then drove home(no shop car here). Something has to change.

A Vendors biggest mistake is to Race and compete with it's customers.
What a bad decision. Hopefully the members know how to handle that choice a couple vendors made. Hard to believe a member would go to that length to win a race that is supposed to be fun for all members. Why did the folks in charge of the event allow this to happen? Is someone getting there pockets stuffed? Is Speedster still involved in running this event? I'm sure he would not stand for this kind of behavior. Hopefully it won't hurt next years attendance to much. Good luck getting it resolved, hope next year things are done on a more fair and even playing field.

Bad experience for me
Yep, I had it until they added those 2 shop cars that did not belong in the class (LMR and IPS)that did not even participate in Qualifying. It screwed not only me but everyone that did participate in Qualifying. Quote:
You are completely right to be upset about this. The biggest points of how wrong this was and how bad it ruined the race are: 1. Those cars did not belong in an amateur, trophy only class. If you have a full paid race team, advertisement all over the car and can’t even drive your own car and have to hire a professional driver to complete in an amateur class. That itself is pitifully wrong. And I hope they feel a real accomplishment with the $10 trophy they practically paid for. 2. Those cars did not even participate in Qualifying, and if they they would have, they would have been the fastest qualifiers. That would of adjusted the ladder In a position that would of had me as third place qualifier running against the 7th place qualifier instead of running against an almost 8 second car that did not even participate in qualifying. This affected not only me but The Barron got beat up over this too. 3. If they had qualified and the ladder was put together properly The Barron and I would have had a chance to make to either semi-finals or finals. There is also the chance that those two could not avoid running against each other, and would open a spot for a legitimate (street)car to make it to finals. 4. Politics have no place in drag racing in my opinion. Other than the completely screwed up drag race which was bull, I had a great time during the event, but now wish I did not even participate in the drag race at all. I have never seen anyone get away with this at any other racing event. If you did not properly qualify you should not be allowed in the class.

The lmr car shouldn't have been allowed on the track. Just a quick look showed countless tech problems: 1: It went 9.1 at 155. Had a 6 point cage and no chute. 2. Driver, not the owner, was racing in a t shirt. 3. No crotch belt. 4. Battery sitting on the floor of the passenger side. Just sitting there. |
