Clay your right. I have no idea why gateway added a pro 1/8 class in to the normal Saturday points in 2012 when the track reopened. Pro has never had a good turnout for any special or bonus classes . If it's not points pro won't pony up? Very strange. I say go back to the old way for 2016 and have a superpro 1/4 mile class with no points and no time brakes . Anything goes . That way if someone wants to test on a Saturday make them buy the 1/4 mile tech card and they will get two time runs and at least 1st round in . Pro gets one class end of story! Just for clarification Pro has been along with sportsman classes the best class they have always had the largest amount of cars hands down ! A lot time it was hard to imagine keeping a s pro class But that's the same attidude we exspect pro been beat up on for years. So nothing new

Dennis before pro rated payouts s/p was always the largest class. I57 has more in footbrake than pro.

Doesnt matter to me if they kill it either way If they have a screwed up schedule like this year As it appears they all ready have in the works Won't run points again ! Either way I will get chance to refresh motor and other items

So nothing new In gateways hay day back from 1999 to about 2007 superpro was the largest class both 1/4 and especially the $2000 1/8 mile . It wasn't until 2013 and 2014 pro had superpro beat car count wise . Then in 2015 superpro had the most if my memory is correct. If you want to make a bet I will bet you whatever you want that at megabucks superpro will have 3 cars to every pro car ! And it wouldn't matter if it was 1/4 mile either !

Reason you don't See a big count in pro cars is because of payout vs entry on mega bucks pro class And the fact it was added in most cases after the fact I haven't ran mega bucks since way back after they pretty much kill it

First off it was 1/8 Mile you s pro guys like that. But us pro guys don't The pro guys are set to run 1/4 and most like the advantage of 1/4 racing I have beat that dead horse do death It is what it is now ! If they kill it fine with me. While they are at kill bike class to. ! Bonus class was 1/4 not 1/8. Where were all the pro guys if they like 1/4

So much bad out of the gate with this so called bonus It really heated to the super pro guys. Had I not known I would say a super pro guy is the guy who wisphered in the ear said here let's give those pro guys a 1/4 mile race Haha lets throw them a curve tho here run a super pro car to win your money lol Yeah that go over with him if they want to run 1/4 because we really don't want to run 1/4. Lol Then let's change say well we will run if we have time Or better yet. Now we will change it up you have Tim 3 round to enter. Lol Then when the pro boys don't run it we can say SEE WE WE WAS RIGHT Seams to me like they really had a success Get less than half of pro ,, More than half s pro guys In reality it's less than that. Because most or cars where s pro cars double entered they ended up with close to 50 in it so that's a win win for the racers More than likely we are headed to just a foot brake class anyways Idono how they can make it that because everyone has brakes n shifters an such so foot brake wouldn't be the name lol Just open class I guess because we are already there now

Even if you never win the runoff you still get as much money as you did for second class last year.

I did that to get some exsperance in s pro And the fact that hey at least I m not scared of the dreaded box Lol Had the schedule been different this year I may have ran point both classes this year I m sure I could win a few rounds it been fun I'm one of those guys who love a challenge

I broke the trans but why did they pull the no buybacks that have been a normal practice for this year ? Without the bonus race they save time if needed . I would bet this will be the same for the Oct31 king of track race also . Congrats to the winners the wallys might be smaller and payouts smaller doubt if they controlled the car count .

They did away with buybacks because of the afternoon delay. Between starting late and the little mist delay something had to change. They needed to eliminate either the 2nd time run or buybacks and they decided buybacks I guess, not sure the rime or reason on how they decide that.
