We could reward who wins, and who goes fast; and if you win and go fast you get more points. Easy to do. Have a separate category for cars that run in the 12's or 11's or 10's (or each of the above) with a graduated points structure for the faster categores. The 10 second category wouldn't have very many cars. That would mean less waiting... You either win and get some big points or lose and go home. Then every team would want to get thier cars to go quicker..

Somthing like:

10 second cars: 4 points per win

11 second cars 3 points per win

12 second cars 2 points per win

There could be a 10 and 11 second category or 10-11 and 12-13. The details could be worked out later, its the concept that is important.

To get the points, your car would not only need to win the race but run under the specified limit. The additional categories could make organization more complicated but that is not an insurmountable problem. Just have separate lanes/ call different categores up in a progressive way/ there are several ways to manage it.

personally I dont like it, Yes CCCA is a fun event, but start pushing that kind of stuff it doesnt become fun anymore.

I mean Alot of the time I will drive my slow truck or my husbands car. both run a typical slower than 13s lol

I think it's a terrible idea, and that you're in the wrong series. Like I said in the other thread, not everyone wants a 10 second car, and you can't expect people with classic / rare cars to want to mod them. It's almost like you want to change the rules so you specifically score more points.

I don't see any reason why I should score less points just because I have a slower car. I have no plans to make it any faster than low 12's N/A.. don't wanna put a cage in it... why should I get less points because of that?

I agree Zeke, Once My roc is done I dont want to mod it anyfarther that it already is, Its also going to be my dd during the summer & spring months.

What about the 9 sec cars that are coming and likely will be so inconsistant that they never win, they should get sympathy points?

I thought this was 10secs or slower?

What if we just give me all the points and we all go home early?

They won't be racing in the series, the bracket is 10.00 seconds & up.

Why dont you just race in one of the E.T bracket series that both tracks offer.

Pro , Super Pro, Sportsman... They even have index classes

krazzycowgirl

I think it's a dumb idea. Doesn't matter how fast your car is. I can run my 11 sec car or my 16 sec truck. I really don't see what the problem is here. Run what you brung and have fun, or just don't run at all.

And that is why there is index classes - if you want to run 11's to singles then do it for a different reason (by that time your in too deep anyway so go figure). The CCCA was set up for everyone to have fun - all classes and all drivers. It would be a killjoy if points were separated out differently than they are.

Well... you should work on actually showing up for the races first, mods or no mods. If you're living life 1/4 mile at a time, it must be going pretty slow for you.

No beating around the bush. You just come out and say it.

So, 9 second cars can't run in CCC?

krazzycowgirl

right now I dont even have gas money to put in my cars to get back & forth to work. let alone any extra to the track.

I am hoping sometime in June we can show up Me in Dans car & Dan racing his vette.

My rocs engine is still on the engine stand & I was told last weekend that that we have to put it together ourselves (which we dont know how to do) & then the person that said he will help will come over to set things.
So at the point in time until Dan & I have a weekend to spare or some time at home together to figure out how to put the engine back together & then wait until that other person to come over to help us set everything. Maybe a year to 2yrs down the line unless Dan gets reactivated.

For now I dont see the roc getting on the road anytime soon 3yrs & counting since its been off the road.

How fast they go isn't in dispute. Giving out more points for that, is.
