Got an idea for CCC What do you think? 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 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.

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. TECH Fanatic
