DRR Trophy |
What I’d like to see is racers being more tolerant to not having perfect track prep for their over powered and under performing chassis. Not saying we need to race on dirt and gravel tracks but from what tracks were 20 years ago prep wise, it’s crazy how perfect most expect the prep to be. Sure would help some tracks out not having to prep like everyone is a fuel car, nevermind the time it adds to a program. I’m not the best to speak on this though because I choose to run a combo that can race anywhere. Yes, I realize this isn’t going to happen. Chris Walters | |||

I agree with this statement, like started above, it doesn’t have to be an every week deal but let someone in who WOULDN'T attend otherwise because they don’t know what it’s about or worth the initial visit payment. Then it’s up to the track/promoter to give them a show that interests them to want to come back and PAY each week or at each event afterwards. Throw in a food voucher or something to go along with it, if the program doesn’t lure them back maybe the concession stand will or a combination of both. If a track or promoter can’t afford to take a $20 chance with someone like that then they’re in a bad spot to begin with. | |||

There is a giant untapped market of potential racers at Friday night test n tunes. New generation muscle cars and trucks have an incredible amount of following. These guys n girls show up to race Index Classes when events like the Street Car Takeover come to town. Incorporate 11.50 and 13.50 index classes (1/4 mile) to the Saturday bracket program. Bracket race starts at 9am and are usually winding down by 5-6pm. Start the index class time trials in the late rounds. Promote this to the Friday night racers and contact the local shops in the area who do tunes and transmission work. Rules should be Insured late model vehicles only. 10 gate fee and 30 dollars to race. Don't have a top heavy purse. Most of these cars run mid 11s now with typical bolt ons. The single cab trucks with a cam and converter run in the 13s and the supercharged full size trucks are right there with them. | |||

How right you are man! As long as it is consistent, and not a no prep surface, at least I know as does everyone else. They have to spend a fortune on glue to make every tired mis managed combination go down the track to .01. Foxtrot Juliet Bravo | |||

NHRA and many tracks keep looking for ways to run Racers, Spectators and Sponsors OFF. Nasty food, dirty restrooms, rude management, changing the rules or payout and on and on. Look, I know it is hard, hot work for those guys at the track and I am always nice to them. But we have all been to a track where a guy was a real d!ck. Or a track that did not pay out as advertised. Sure makes you not want to go back there. There is one track we raced at twice and both times they could not run more that 10 or 15 races an hour. Nobody wants to sit around in the heat like that to watch grass grow for 10 minutes then a 8 second race? WTF? It was crazy. So the point is maybe instead of bringing new racers why dont we start with quitting trying so hard to run off those we have? https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/ "Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge. Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue. 4X NE2 CHAMPION. 2020 TDRA NE2 Champion | |||
