The WHOLE issue is about how to grow the sport. You are already racing and are crying about the thought of possibly having to race someone faster. So what makes you think if the classes stay the same as they are that ANYONE with a 10.0-11.5 sec truck would even want to show up and race?
They won't and aren't in the numbers that are needed.
You can keep it status quo and the sport will die a slow death. Or, you can take one for the team, still race and be competitive and help the sport grow.
I fail to see how anyone with an 11.0 truck is better off under your rules. the 10.0 class will be like the 11.90, trucks will be running the dial in no time especially if the SS trucks are brought down. right now if you can't run 11.90 then you will lose in that class. And just like right now people who can't run 10.0 will start a thread about being to big of a gap and we need a 10.5 and an 11.0 and an 11.5 to fill the void.
also I am not the one crying about not having a fast enough truck trying to get an existing orginaztion to change there rules to fit my truck. I haven't started any of these threads. I am not worried about racing faster trucks than mine because right now most of SS is faster than me. I have been dreaming and designing hoping to change that, it is a blast.
You say that the sport will die a slow death if we don't adopt your rules. I say the sport dies an instant death if we follow your rules. what do I care who is in the lane next to me in an index class. I don't and you don't. You always post how you love racing your local tracks vs whatever shows up. why bother to travel to an event when you can get the same thing at home? it has been said by others you don't travel to nhrda races, I don't know if that is true or not but it seems that if you don't travel when nhrda is different than your local scene, why would you travel when it was the same?
If we want the sport to grow the best way to do that is to show up. times are tough and fuel is crazy expensive, I think that is the biggest reason the sport grows slowly, not the lack of index classes.
