same here i would much rather follow after a racecar, because i know the track has been prepped for such high HP automobiles, it sure beats following a 15,14,13, second mustangGT!!!!!

As for the prepay issue, Scott will have to chime in on as he's the one that's handled it before.. On top of everything else that he does to get the event going, I don't think handling money is an item that he wants to add to his list of responsibilities. How's this, the race cars will stick to wrecking on Thursday or Saturday TnT if you stick to running 1320.. fair?
-here's another tissue...

Yes the pre-pay is a big pain in my ass, I did it on about 5-6 of the other events. But when people have to pre-pay they get their shit in order and show instead of throwing there name of the list and hoping for the best. Pre-pay events have about a 5% no show vs. the current system of no pre pay (which was the tracks idea to drop it) and we get about 25% no show on average. This time we had 40% no shows on the pre=paid list, that is unfair to others that want to race and could not get on the list in time, unfair to me on many fronts, and unfair to the spectators that are looking for a lot of cars right away vs. people tricling in since they have not paid already.
Bottom line, when the pre-pay is in effect people show early and we eliminate almost all of the other problems. Plus it keeps the shitbox cars to a minimum for some amazing reason.

I can understand if it's a pro-mod car. Even then, what is there 5-6 big cars out there?? How long could they possibly take to get down the track??
Other than the Nova having a fire, which didn't mess up the track at all...The only cars that did mess up the track were "street cars."

+1 Im agreeing 100 % with your reply to this stupid thread. I myself a honda owner enjoyed watching the 56 vette, the mustangs .....go down the track way more then 90% of the imports.which only about a handfull were worth watching anyways. I get more excited seeing fast times(fast cars) fly down the track, rather then the slow ones drive down the track!!!!

I dunno, I fully support shitboxes owned by enthusiastic people. I'm down for the guy with the 16-second piece of crap trying to test/tune it to get into the 15s as much as I am for the 13-second cars trying to make it into 12s.
I realize that's a tangent thought though with regards to the pre-pay topic and the comment you were making.

Shitboxes doesn't necessarily mean slow cars. There are shitbox 11 second cars too.

Fine drop the entire "no more dragsters" stuff ( even though I doubt everyone is going to "let it go" ).
I definately agree that the "street car" arguement could go on forever.
What happened with making everyone drive through the water box ? (again ).
