If we need chaos cars to keep fans from going to the movies. We're in big trouble.
Ah but read my post...that's not what I said.
I know thats not exactly what you said shadow. You know how i feel about the chaos cars we have talked about it in the pits. However someone started a thread about them and people have been posting there opinions. You cant expect everyones opinion to be rosey and positive. Some like dirt racing and some like aspault and we've argued that too over the years. But when you run a circus act like division at what is supose to be canadas premier short track what do you expect the feed back to be. If you look at the quality of cars in the regular divisions the place is second to none. Then out roll the chaos cars and some may think what the hell is this.
Again, I'm sure the guys with the cars are having a blast, but its just not that entertaining to a "die hard" race fan. I dont see that changing no matter what the car count is. Anyway to be honest I could care less weather they run or not. If more people want to put a couple grand into a car that runs for shits and giggles the more power to them. For those that have gone out on a limb to build one I applaud your efforts. I know how much work goes into putting a car out on the track. Just try not to get too defensive when you here some negative comments. Its not for everyone and you cant expect it to be.
Im wondering if people that dont like the chaos cars would like figure 8 or bus races? Those are only for entertainment. We were at Dixie Motor Speedway in Michigan last year for an Auto Value race. The night had Bomber cars (like thunder cars), a 100 lap super late model race, and a 35 lap AVSS race. After that, there was a figure 8 school bus race. I dont think 10 poeple left their seats. It was packed! I couldn't beleive how much fun it was, and Im a die hard racer and fan!
At the end of the day, the question is do the Chaos cars augment and enhance the race program at Delaware Speedway? Does it provide a legitimate avenue for people to move into other classes? Does it provide the entertainment it was designed to provide? If the answer is no, then they should go in order to maintain Delaware's reputation for being a great racing facility. The fans need to answer this and I am not sure how you get the answer to this, but perhaps a poll at the end of the season would provide the answer as to whether this show should stay or go.
The chaos cars is not what I really thought it was going to be.
When it came to mind about four and six bangers racing I thought cool, for sure I'm in....that's a way I can get my boy's intrested.
I thought it would be a great way to get the younger crowd into racing because at this time average racer anymore is between 30/50 years old.
and if we don't start getting some younger guys or girls into the sport we are going to be in trouble.
I thought for sure it would be some straight up racing possibly ten laps and maybe a five lap heat to get the feel of some racing..
