You have a small percentage doing this compared to the car count that will show up for a door car only no box race

I just want to understand all these exclusivity rules in racing.

I mean you have your top bulb events, but all cars are welcome, top bulb, bottom bulb, dragster, roadster, door car etc. BUT, in those events, you have to split door cars from everyone else because some of the door car guys feel disadvantaged or whatever against dragsters/altereds.
Same theory of thinking with the no box race. Since the majority of no box cars are door cars, no dragsters allowed. The splittin of the cars in the top bulb race was to increase car counts in the dragster flooded races.

Now you have the bottom bulb events. No dragsters/altereds. Why? I see in this event the foot brake cars have to be split from the non foot brake cars, why? I am at such a loss to understand why there has to be such fragmentation but it seems to be a very one-sided arguement so to speak..... This is a bottom bulb thing. The purist believe you swap feet on the bottom bulb while others feel that no box and bottom bulb are the same thing.

If there is no delay box in the car, why not let them race? Doors or no doors, footbrake or trans brake, a racecar is a racecar is it not? Line up in the lanes and race.....

I say sell the dragsters and go back to door cars. So many more opportunities with a door car like box, no box, all the .90 classes, Renegade series, local index series and multiple class entries.
