everyone leave bikes at home.... Club can buy about 10 Eaton 90's all the same color. Split classes up by rider weight. Pull a pill to find out what bike your on. Then the whining can only be over the luck of the pill draw and their own weight. Sounds fair to me..
But in all honesty. As far as your heads up fair races go... Make all your classes but the open, stock frame n no wheelie bar. Even the mini's... If a mini actually needs a wheelie bar then its too fast to be running against the others. This would stop all the bikes that are built to win a heads up race from showing up, ppl really dont come to fair races to watch full on drag bikes run anyways. I know I just show up for the funnel cake.

Actually I ment the whole thing to just be a good laugh. You can only make things so fair. But do think stock frames n no wheelie bars rule would stop some of it. It throws everything we own in open class. I actually like Scrow's idea of half n half, Et/headsup.
Where are all the whining, complaining ppl and all the ppl who love hiding behind guest names.. Heres your chance, they want your suggestions.

Okay my 2 cents...
I like splitting season up...heads up/ E.T. 1. Gives people that like to do one or the other a chance. 2. Shortens up the season if you want to run for points( don have to make as many races). 3. Fair races will be difficult to do E.T. racing
I like the stock frame, other than that it is hard to say what is stock and what isn't. Take the DRR's for an example in the mini class. They come with performance pipe and no air box right off the dealer floor.
I am not sure about the no wheelie bar for the classes for kids like the 300 class. My daughter will be running in that class next year and I would feel better if the bike has a wheelie bar. She has been running a stock 300ex now and it needs the wheelie bar or she would have already turned it over...I see the point but not sure if it would be safe?? Dose having a wheelie bar make that much of a difference??? Maybe, I don't know for sure...I just think it is safer to have them, maybe we all should have them...
I think some input is needed on class splits. What should they be? 300, 400, 500, 600...ect? I have no input on this because I am not familiar enough with what bikes run with each other. Will a 300 run with a 400?? and so on...
I also think we need a way to protest a bike (protest rule) for the participants that think a bike should not be in a class. I don't think any other rules except cc limits(no pipe, no clutch, no cam, tires...ect) can be a rule for the simple fact of being able to enforce them. Its had to say a bike dose or doesn't have a cam without 1 knowing the stock cam profile, and 2 completely tearing the quad down to measure it. No one is going to do that.
I can play with any rules that are made just remember they have to be enforceable and followed. Thats for heads up rules, As far as the E.T. racing goes...not sure what needs done there if anything as far as rules.
One request... plan to have rules in place by Jan 1st of next year so builders can make plans. Believe me it take a while to build a bike correctly. It's hard to get it done in 2 months unless you know exactly what you are doing......

OOPS, I ment to say some classes could be no wheelie bar but I forgot that sentence. Just need to remember with the 12 and under rule for the mini classes we will have youngsters on 300cc plus quads that need a wheelie bar for safty...

Raineys point about shut down is warranted. I think for safety sake we need to shorten the track for those faster quads to say 200' unless we can add about 100' of shutdown straight ahead. Hopefully we will have some faster quads keep coming to the races and the shutdown is too short for them. Don't know what classes that effects but someone will figure that out....
Okay that all....lol

I am happy there anouther track near us but here deal u buy stock bike u can et race it all day and any one can race But drag bikes is all about time and money and 99% drag bikes don't run same et every time u spend lot time money to make ur bike the best and wheele bars should be must I see lot Guys on two wheels can some one could get Hurt easy. Hell I thought my banshee was saft but steering locked and Jordan crashed not saying et best thing u think fair race takes lot time now just think every bike get test run u got print ticket on and then they dail in then if it double elimination u be well in too late hr running it planet sand has bracket classes that be cool but it has .5 diff so if u got 4.0 bike u got run heads up with a 3.5 bike but that's close and fair as u can get any way u break it down some one be pissed

Not bad Curt,1 thru 3 I like...As far as stock frames if they come off the floor w/performance parts then it still factory correct.. Bars ,well I run em partly for safety and times just for piece of mind so Im not going there ,lets call that a GREY AREA.....Classes Im with you not clear on who can hang with who,we ALL need to pay attention to how classes run so we can ALL make a decision on how classes will be split ,then and only then maybe we can get away from all the whinning.Protesting a mans bike, well Im goona leave that to all you educated people..So add my 2 cents to yours Curt your on the rite track
BNSracing on ur post once I seen FUNNEL CAKES I was with you all the way ;D ;D ;D
