crank Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I don't think someone has thought this thru. I know people are there for the excitement not the boredom. I've been wondering what drag racing would be like. Well it has been nice racing with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 when are the 2010 rules for all classes be posted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratdaddy Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 C.C. WILL START A FRONT RUNNER CLASS THIS YEAR. RULES WILL BE POSTED LATER BUT WILL BE CLOSE TO THUNDER HILLS RULES. THIS CLASS WILL BE OPEN TO EVERYBODY. WE WILL BE HAVING OUR DRIVERS MEETINGS SOON. Â Instead of getting all riled up, why don't some of you settle down and wait to see what Dan has to say at the meeting. Some of you are kinda "jumping the gun a bit" I mean everyone wants more, more, more for themselves. Charlie, this is a yes or no question. Can you show me a consistant 18 car field right now? Everybody is looking for change, more purse money, more car count/drivers and more consistancy. I think that is coming, some will like it others may not. OK enough said, I am not good with these long winded topics....NEXT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderWife Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) how long does everbody thing this class is going to last Thunder hill started the same class and alot of the cars have all ready being sold the first year I dont know if they are building new cars or not I37 started the same type of class and a lot of them cars are being sold to so is there a lot of hope in this type of class making it Edited December 8, 2009 by ThunderWife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cRt racing Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 well a lot of things are going to depend on what happens in the drivers meeting but im putting stuff on hold till then im just not going to sink money into a couple of cars that could be cancelled in a year but some rules need to be changed to keep this class close or the cars wont be there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poorboy Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I would be willing to bet that some of those cars that are being sold is because they are moving up a class. I beleive those tracks beleived that would be a class to get people started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, there are people at both tracks who build these cars to sell to get the class growing quickly. Not for profit. Not as a business. Just to get the class started and in good shape.  I'm not sure about the I-37 Front Runner deal but I suspect it is growing too.  Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderWife Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I got my information from speedzones on classified part . I never said they were not building new ones trying to help the class just that they were trying to sale them. and i never said anything about HMP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Just trying to fill in the missing gaps about the THR and HMP clases which are based on the same concept that Dan is implementing. Sorry if I made it sound anything other than that. Â Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiTech Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) well we can all agree doing nothing wont help ...never has ...im sure dan wont kill a class that has enough cars and will put on a show ...... i am for growth .and if this gets growth then do it ..this goes for any class .just at this time in point dan is looking at starting up a cheap class .with cost so high now . this gives an option... wether it works here .only time will tell ... it will only fell if noone is interested and dont take the oppertunity... will i build one .dont know .but with my pocket book .this maybe the only way i could go out and have some fun ..i was looking at bomber and still am .they arent very fast .hence speed isnt always the best part in racen ..close racen turning 17 seconds lap time is more fun with ten cars .than 16 second and three cars .... dan has a track to run .he is looking at what it will take to bring in more teams .more fans . .walla more money .... thunder hill has done a great service for starting a stock class for young drivers .it will only help the other classes ..... dan is taking it alittle futher by letiing anyone race ..is that good .time will tell . i know one thing .i have already been looking for a car for this class .and surprise i have had a call from another local car owner and racer .they are looking aswell ... so i say good luck to dan on this .and good luck to the thunders .....

BJ34 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 after all the talk about change and Dan makes a completely new class you the one that was pushing going back to stock I thought you would jump at it and have the first new one built to give everyone else inspiration and show them how to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvfd_gordo Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I am speaking from a fans point of view. I watched the Thunders last race this year which I thought was very boring. The race start i think 6 cars after about 10 laps 1st place was in the middle of turn 3-4, 2nd was coming out of turn 2 and 3rd was just crossing the start finish line. The rest of the cars had already been lapped and were sitting in the in field. Â If you can get a class where are cars are pretty close to being equal with 10 or more cars where you never know who was going to win that would be an interesting race. even if they are only turning a 17 second lap time or slower.
