Kip,
I understand and appreciate the original intent of the TSA class. How much further do you see a stock appearing car going?
With only 4-5 cars competing is this a class that will survive?
We had 4 cars this year and unfortunately, Dale broke. We need more participation to keep this class alive.
Kip, I see your point. I like the class the way it exists today. Yes, I'm not interested in starting a new class. But, we need to explore ways to get more people involved.
There are stock or nearly stock car running in the brackets. I think it might be advantageous to get them back to "stock appearing" and participate. If we could just double our numbers to 8 cars, then we have a decent ladder to race.
Dave,
I would like to see this thread open to comments from anyone that would be willing to participate if the tree was changed to a Sportsman .500 tree.
Dale,
Are you thinking that a change to a sportsman tree will help with car count?
I think that Dave has a valid point, A sportsman tree puts everyone on the same level during eliminations without having to change the class. This would also eliminate most of the reasons people are using for not participating . I believe that once people are participating their desire to go faster will kick in. Then reward the fastest qualifier to keep the faster cars pushing the ET down.
Just my opinion Dale,
So you are not just saying go to a sportsman tree but rather change it to bracket racing with a sportsman tree?
I really do like the TSA rules and I would be 100% OK with leaving all of them alone for 2016, except we NEED more cars in the class!
It would be nice to have a solid 8 car ladder. Can we find 4 more guys/gals to build and race TSA cars in a heads-up race?
