Yeah Deb that will be cool when a 50cc YSR runs in the APS UF (Altered Partial Streamlined UNLIMITED Fuel) class and sets a record at 55mph..I am sure the holder will be real proud..
Make it like real racing..
Awe never mind. just get the money...
I think this is Bob and Co's show and he can run it the best way he sees fit.
There's is something cool about throwing your own party, everyone has to play by your rules!
I support being able to run different classes and run up displacement classes. This does two things, first it brings in extra income that will ensure the LTA will continue to operate and prosper.
Having a 1.5 mile paved race is going to put up some huge numbers and be a great shot in the arm for the sport.
Secondly, It fills the record book with many records and gives others a target to shoot for.
We have all looked through the SCTA records and have seen
"Soft" records that we know we can beat.
What's the difference?
How about a SCTA "C" motor record that is faster than a "AA" motor? Is that ok just because the "AA" was running in his class?
Is that
real racing?
Should the "AA" record be wiped from the book?
Did the "AA" racer show up race his car and pay the same entry as the "C" racer? Yes he did.
Is it a record? Yes it is.
Is it a soft record? Maybe.
If it bothers someone that much they can build a "AA" and bring it out and show us how soft it is!
How about running on
SOFT El Mirage minimums and setting records and getting points?
"Real racers" in classes that had records set by racing not by committee could never achieve the amount points that the minimum racers can.
Is that
real racing or just taking advantage of poorly set minimums? You be the judge.
How about running just over the class record on GPS to get the record points but not fast enough to prevent the racer from breaking the same record the next event.
Is that
real racing?
Are we Landspeed racers or bracket racers?
I will leave it up to you to decide!
