Great comments from all.
Let me be clear on one thing. I am not suggesting we turf another class.
I am also not suggesting creating another class. The creation of a new class would most certainly lead to the demise of another class. We already have too many classes as it is.
My comment was to fact find and look for input as to whether or not FWD 6 cyl cars could be incorporated into the Street Stock class. The truck thing is a great idea but, as Dennis pointed out, this is already allowed and nobody does it other than the enduro. And, we are not about to start a Truck Division anytime soon if they are already allowed in the Street Stocks.
In essence....how can we increase the car count in a division that is supposed to be budget conscious like the Street Stocks. 6cyl? New rules? Don't bother? Make them Thunders and get rid of 'em?
Let's try to stay on this train of thought. Remeber, we want feedback to fix this class, not abolish it.
??? I'm not sure why you are dragging Thunder cars into this?
THis has nothing to do with Thunder cars.
If the Thunder Car drivers that wish to run at Varney can agree on some rules that favour the class and not just a few drivers, and then actually show up to race, I see no reason why we wouldnt run Thunders next year.
Again, I am trying to see if there is a way to possibly attract new drivers into a less expensive division such as Street Stocks by adding 6cyl FWD to the mix. The mini stock class doesn't necessarily need help at Varney. Late Models next year sound like they should be okay.
So again, plain and simple.....is there a way to increase car counts and attract new cars to the Street Stock class by adding/modifying the rules to allow 6cyl FWD cars?
Lets leave Thunder Cars and Mini Stocks out of this. Start another thread if we want to open discussion on those classses.
WHY ONLY FWD??
You seemed to ignore the question the first time.
Probably availability, other than mustang or trucks rear wheel drive V6 cars are just as hard to find as rear wheel drive V8's
Yes...availability is teh only reasoning. That said, open it up to RWD 6 cyl.
All I'm trying to do at this point is to generate some dialogue to see if incorporating these previously excluded vehicles is actually a viable option.
There is no alternative motive or sneaky behind the scenes stuff going on....just trying to see if it would work and if anyone would be interested.
