The only way NOPI is getting $1 from me is if I wipe my a$$ with it and stick it to their forehead

Non taken. And I guess it has been 5 months from the last event I competed in prior to the IFO event in Bradenton, if that really matters. It's just constructive criticism man. Take it for what you will.

That said, you don't cater to Hot Rod, Modified, PRO FWD, PRO RWD "type" cars at all. They are all lumped into "Outlaw" and have to bracket race. Contrary to what everyone thinks there are a lot of these types of cars out there. So maybe a restructure of your 6 heads up classes might be something to look at??? Just a suggestion. I know you get good turnout at your events regardless, but it might help you draw in some more (different) cars.

Like I said, I'll continue to support the people that support our sport regardless

Isn't outlaw a heads up class, not a bracket?

No. We're def not going to have dead classes like pro fwd/rwd and HR for the entire series. The only places that have Even just a few of those type cars are south Florida and NJ area... only 2 out of 30+ locations we host events at. Even still, we have the OL class just in case any do show up. They hardly ever do.

OL is a heads up class. Was only organized as a 9.99 and faster bracket in FL for that event as requested by the majority before hand.

Yes. They are welcome to organiz their own class at any of our events. They never do though... Because contrary to what some think, there really are not a lot of those type cars around.

I always thought the IFO start your own class was cool. You only need 4 people.

since when did racers start doing this for the prize? this isnt nascar or NHRA...you arent going to get rich racing your FWD. The advertisement of just having a car at the track is worth more than a minuscule purse.

I could give two ***** if i won prize money (although its nice to have the trip and gas pad for if you win), having a place to have an organized, competitive race is much more important to me than some monetary crap that wouldnt pay for even a small fraction of my setup.

Well said. I love having a place to LEGALLY drive what I have built. Being able to win some money while doing it, and run up against great competition, is a bonus.
