    Default 2016 Shootout Rules and Date open discussion

    This is where we would like to see everyone voice their opinion on any rule/class changes they feel that are needed to continue to keep the event going as well as bring in more participants. Another issue that has been expressed is the heat on Labor Day weekend. If you think a different date would work better for you, please voice your opinion here. We are listening!

    Late fall or spring would be cool, literally.

    Also I still want to discuss why a carb penalty in modpa is 200lbs.

    The main reason the carb carries a penalty actually has nothing to do with the carb, so much as the fact that you're not using the opti and stock pcm. The rpm ceiling is higher on a conventional distributor setup vs an opti

    Perhaps early fall or a evening event would be nice.

    Drop the street part to extreme Street

    Oh and can I request a more scenic cruise next year for true Street? Lol

    I like night racing but I also like the post event parking lot party. Unfortunately we can't have both without a multi day event. If I had to choose I'd go with a different date for better weather over a night race. I don't have any specific date in mind. The earlier it is the more sketchy the weather and less time there is for cars to get assembled and tested. The later it is the hotter it is and more cars have broken and people are out of money from vacations, etc. I'll be there either way, any location! The event went as close to on time and can be (pretty much perfect) but maybe a little stricter policy on calls to the lanes. I heard the announcer call the same class several times and the cars in the lanes running after that class were sitting and waiting. Not a huge deal but when it's 90+ and your in in the lanes strapped in, helmet, neck brace, gloves, and multi-layer pants/jacket on it can get frustrating.

    We noticed the same thing on class callouts Josh and spoke about it. It will be addressed in the drivers meeting next year.

    As said, later in the year would be more comfortable for everyone. Perhaps sometime in late September or early October. Perhaps some classes should have ET thresholds. For example, if you run under 9.00, this would restrict you from certain classes to keep it competitive for others.

    Is this the time to also comment about a potential location change?

    I wasn't racing but the track prep looked to be pretty good compared to years past. Even in the heat the fast guys were making full runs for the most part. I love the BG location but I might be a bit biased since its in my home state
