GREAT JOB JEFF, and friends
You are making history, and this will be the fist in a series of Super Stock diesel events.
The premise of this event is to make innovation, and driving the biggest factor in qualifying and winning this event. The rules need to evolve slowly, and become stable.
If the rules become stable, then people will invest in trucks, and equipment, with the reassurance that there rule changes wil not make their investment worthless.
This class appeal, is it’s restrictive formula , and not unlimited modifications resulting in uncontrollable hp and resultant part breakages. The limited modification selection makes the innovator out there wake up and look at building a competitive truck.
When I say that this class is about big money , that is really a misnomer , it is, for a person that’s only participation is a credit card , and I have been asked to build a truck, and I answered what a turn key competitive truck would cost to build.
This is not the case with a guy that gets his hands dirty , and can thank outside the box.
There will be a diverse group of trucks show up , a few will be heavily funded corporate shows cases. A few trucks will be credit card bought for gentleman drivers, and most will a few guys getting together and making a great attempt. This is very similar to the group you see in Competition Eliminator.
So I’m going to put out a few suggestion to make this class become all it can be .
1st a drive , maybe 25 to 50 miles , and then to the staging lanes for qualifying . you do this before each qualifying pass. This will also get the surrendering public aware of the event .
2nd more restrictive turbo rules. Several thoughts, a claimer rule on the turbo. Put a $1000 claimer on the turbo, after the race. You give them your turbo , and you get theirs for $1000 . you have to be in the top 16 .
