The other V8 class was for manual cars only, so obviously an auto can't run there. With so many cars involved it's difficult to create too many categories, and no matter where you end up, there can always be faster cars. This is where bracket racing comes in. You could've run in that category, but it was cancelled due to the weather. |

Yeah we were wondering what happened to the awards as well. We won overall in the V-6 class and have not seen any prize money or the leader board. Keep us posted.
Thanks, Jesse! |

Thanks for explaining the classes so everyone can see I'm not just whining. I may just be the only one speaking up? I know there were 4 other cars/drivers on Saturday morning after the drivers meeting who also said they were left out in the cold because they didn't have the fastest and had an automatic. Maybe next year we can have the quick 16 and then index the rest so everyone gets the opportunity to run heads-up against similar capable cars regardless of power adders, bolt-ons or transmission choice. |

OMG...hahaha Why did they have a manual only class? skeered of those slow automatics. That doesn't look good for those all-powerful m6 cars...just saying.

Next years suggestions
Exhibition- ARH, LPE, JRE, RPM and such V8 unlimited - anything with a TC or SC V8 NA- pretty obvious anything goes minus power adders V8 stock- duh lol V6 unlimited V6 stock Bracket racing Or just throw all the classes out except exhibition and V8 unlimited and make us all bracket race The m6 street was kinda cool but if you didn't have a blower you weren't gonna get out of the top 8. |

Missing a shift isn't an issue for autos; so it does become more of an equalizer for less powerful M6s who have better RTs, and smoother 60fts... not sure the same would apply to the 'point and shoot' community.

highly recommend retaining the street tire class....get out there with how you actually run it on the street. Bracket racing is the ultimate equalizer (if the weather allows)....keep the brackets.
