1) sharpie the flagman got hit by a barrell
2) A few cars were wrecked majorly ( SNot rod i think and myself) posibly some others
3)Wednesday aiming for all the obstacles( to bad u dont getg points for hitting things)
i just read this entire thread, and i think it's kinda funny how chaos cars are criticized by so many other racers and fans and it mainly seems to be about lack of cars. that and the fact that enduro is the "entry-level" division and chaos cars are a, what was it..."donkey show"? (LOL...i like that...sounds like something Chad might say.)
i believe it is hard for all divisions to maintain a high car-count because, obviously, racecars cost big $$$ and time. i know lots of teams from every division that don't know if they will be at the track the following week if they crash or have mechanical failure.
how about the days when enduro was actually entertaining? when there was 150 cars on the track and it actually was a race of endurance. now you have the books and the goertz boys (amongst others) who can slap a set of hoosiers on their car and maybe make a few other changes and race in the super stock class? nice entry-level race cars!! check the "quick results" for july 24th; we have book, mcullough and goertz with 22.6 - 22.7 second laps which is the same lap times as some of the trucks. i still greatly respect them all though because of all the work that go into their cars, but those are some FAST lap times!! maybe some kind of lap time rule should come into effect; like no cars faster than 24 seconds.
still wish to tell me that enduro is entry-level?
let's compare cost factors. chaos car with cage and safety could be built for between $1000 to $2000 lets say, depending on who and what you know. what kind of enduro car is that gonna get me? i used to race enduro in the late 90's and i had about $2000 in my car and i think i was the slowest car on the track. how much fun is that? i mean, i had a blast motoring around the bottom groove all day and i learned a lot, but being not at all competitive gets not fun real quick. it would cost a lot more than that to build even a somewhat competitive car. is this what is bringing enduro car count down? i don't know you guys tell me.
don't get me wrong, i love every division at the track (along with all their quicks.) just give the chaos cars (and drivers and crew) some time and respect, and i think the division will get much better. i have heard from TONS of fans who love it, so i don't think that the 5 people who dislike the division will bring us down. racing is racing, no matter what...right?
thanks for all the positive posts though, we need the support from our entire racing community. i think i've said enough.
