Aw man...you left out the "It was a SLOBBERKNOCKER" victory lane quote.
LOL You Liked that eh? I Didn't know what else to say. I even forgot to thank my crew! It looks like I'm buying the next round on Friday.... 😀
I heard that if more cars don't show up That they will be getting the Axe
further more John no where in here was there a rumor started that the chaos cars were getting cut!!
What's this then?

Yep...it was a good line. When you ran at the fence, I thought you were gonna climb it, a-la Tony/Helio.
First let me say, I am all for fun and entertaining sideshows that support the regular racing at Delaware. The Chaos cars have the potential to be just that but in my opinion need several more cars, run less laps (after 5 laps on Friday I was ready for it to be done) and perhaps use less of the track so visibility is better. If you used the front stretch for example or perhaps 1/2 the track you potentially could run 10 laps. Also if it was run in the daylight it would also be better and be a good warm up for the crowd. It could potentially go between 7 & 7:30 prior to the regular race program. I can see why Delaware might not want to do this becausea of the potential issues of parts etc on the track prior to the regular racing program, but it is an option. I'm thinking on Friday most people would have left the track for the Chaos race but stayed because they wanted to see the jump through the RV's.
When the idea of the chaos cars was first introduced, I was tempted to get a car myself because it sounded like a lot of fun and it was purely entertainment for the fans. No racing pressure - I have enough of that with the racer in the house! I never thought that this was a "real" race division at Delaware or that it was intended as an entry level class. I equate it to the school bus races at Lowes etc, where it is just meant to be fun and entertaining nothing very serious. This is not meant to be a slight against the people in the division who work hard to get their cars looking good and spend time on them to participate in the class., but it is what it is.
IMO, a mininum number of cars should be required (and that would be more than 4) to run and if not enough show up, they don't run. Better to cancel than put on a mediochre show for the fans which might taint the image Delaware is working hard to achieve.
I think John's idea of contacting the people registered to try to encourage them to come out and perhaps do some phoning the week they are scheduled to run might help improve the numbers.
I say the Chaos cars are a good idea, but the show needs to provide the entertainment that was intended.
Thats just crazy. 😉
Hi everyone, Just a short 2 cents from someone new to Delaware. Have made it out 3 times this year and each time the line up has been different. Most of the time we sit and think it would be great to get in on the action sometime, but even the enduro cars are a bit intimidating. Some of those cars really haul. Now the chaos cars take the stage and all of a sudden the idea of "getting into racing" seems a whole lot closer to reality. Slower speeds, lighter cars and I must assume lower cost all point the way for a wider range of newcomers to enter the sport. Not to mention the giggle factor. I vote keep em!
Sitting here thinking the wife`s neon is in the driveway. Maybe it needs a tune up "chaos style".
Great to have a new fan commenting on the CRO boards, your perspective is valuable.
If you would like to go Chaos racing Kramer is for sale, check out the Delaware Classifieds -

The only reason we are not racing Kramer is time and driver availability. Our Super Stock has taken up a lot of resources this year AND we don't have a driver who has permission from his wife to drive Kramer.
