Talking to some people at the stl fan club banquet and it sounds as if s/p points will definitely be 1/8 mile. ..pro still undecided leaning towards 1/8th....with the bonus race (all run) on the 1/4
Bonus race will split box/ no box until final...this race should pay decent money!

I think it's probably time to make 1/8 mile the premiere classes also . If it doesn't help things you can always go back in 2016.

I don't think Pro is changing to the 1/8, but we will see. It would make since for it to change if they decide to have a bonus class and it is ran on the 1/4 mile. It doesn't really matter to me, I feel like in the pro class I have a much bigger advantage on the 1/4 than I do on the 1/8, but would rather have points on the 1/8, so I will go with either one.

Im still voting for 1/4 mile in Pro. I can run 1/8 mile points anywhere. But mainly I wish they would just put out a schedule and tell us what the classes will be for this year so I can make a decision on what to do this year. I bought ticket for the banquet hoping they will tell us something there.

I have no preference as to what length the pro class runs but, wouldn't it make sense to have super pro and pro run 1/8 and the bonus race run 1/4.....if we are going to increase participation , this is the obvious choice imo
A combination box/no box bonus race on the tier payout system should pay big money, I can see having 75-100 cars in this race weekly...just my thoughts
Trying to keep a positive outlook

Like Tim said wouldn't it make more sence for pro to go to 1/8 mile to get even more cars from out of town like Scotty Vaugn and javon androff and " THE JIMMY " ? Or do we want to keep them away .lol

Or do we want to keep them away .lol Why would that keep them away they both have raced at GMP qtr miles races ? I think S/Pro has the issues last year drawing the cars not Pro . Im for the 8th mile pts race in pro .But really want a 2nd class still qtr mile . Not sure if the box no box class and combine in the final would work .Still dont see sportsman guys coming into that class . But wait in see . |

Don don't know why sportsman wouldn't jump in 1/4 race they run 1/4 all day long. They could run three classes. I would hate to wait 6-7 seconds or more to a sportsman car.
