the majority of the 16 cars that they "pick" are already chosen before the race begins. big time track sponsors are guaranteed to get their cars onto tv. Read several posts on different boards about the politics behind it.

 

there is always some bs when money/tv time is involved.

 

Well considering I knew one of the guys that was in the 16 at MIR and he about fell off his chair when he was called I wouldnt say that its totally fixed. I do agree that it all seems somewhat fixed. I am just going for the fun and party.

 

what do they want the cars to run? 10.0 or something?

 

they will probably decide that once they have seen all the cars qualifying times.

 

They pic the 10 cars that are the closest to each other in Et.

For instance, if they have 10 cars that run .2 of each other in the 12 second bracket and 10 cars that run .5 of each other in the 10 second bracket, they will most likely go with the 12 second bracket.

 

im thinking of going to commerce, i guess i could put it on the bumper to see if it makes tv lol, what im thinking is pull the limiters and run n\a since they might check stuff if i go under 9.99, no comp. license yet, cage not certified yet etc.

 

From what I have seen on TV they dont check the cars to well. There was a car running in the 16 that just had a lap belt and no cage. It was a low 10 hi 9 class I think. The only issue that I know they had was a Maple Grove with that mustang. But hey stand it on the bumper it should make tv.

 

thats the plan if the first qual. sucks, throw the bottle in put the limiters on and ride it , should get some tv lol

 

i would like to make to the one in nj, thats if i get my car in the 10s

 

I may have to throw a bottle in the car and make the trip to Gateway,

 

I dodnt want to run the bottle, i cant go 3 rounds on one bottle no less 5 so id run just engine in quals, unless it goes to crap on the first pass.

 

Cant, they document your times. If you go 10.0's and thats the class you qualify for, then you put the bottle in and go 9.50's, youre DQ'd.

 

no thats not what i mean, i mean if the first pass sucks, then ill put the bottle in put the limiters on , and see how long it will hold the front wheels up

 

just put an extra bottle in the car and run 2!
