    Here's a novel idea Frank. Why don't you put together your own event on Thursday with your own rules, and your own classes. Run it how you want, with whomever you want, and invite whomever you want. I'm sure people will come and race.

    That way on Friday we can run this event, without having to deal with the headaches associated with all the classes, etc. and be done in a reasonable time.

    Whos up for some good old two man team case races while the drags go on? The way I see it is, at the rate some of these guys wanna drag it out, it will take forever for the drags to finish, we could probably do two or three rounds. Maybe an elimination braket type thing?

    I know what it is like to be picked on... I use to race a Polaris Scrambler in the local mud pits. Every year they would make up new rules just to limit me to a certain class. They actually let the 4x4s race in the 2wd class (with 4x4 off) but (because of me) they wouldnt let the 2wds run in the 4x4 class. Classes use to be 200-300, 300-400 etc.....and you ran your engine sizes class and could enter the classes bigger than you. Well, their new rule was.....(because of me) you had to go by what your engine size was on the sticker of your bike. So, My 378cc Scrambler could no longer race in the 300-400cc class because it says "Scrambler 400" on the plastic.
    LOL, I rember the first year, he couldnt keep the front end down...had to use the wheele bar (that everone was laughing at)<--- Yep they where arses. . . All because of some ag tires! Not to mention that it wasn't a mud pit it was a hole with water in it . . . ohh wait there was a spoonfull of dirt in there

    Hey Tim, I saw this in another thread so I just wanted to remind you that I did offer to run the drag event for TF07. If your "tiny overworked staff" thinks that 3-4 classes is too much to handle I would still be more then happy to take this off your hands. Let me know if I can do my part, I know I've enjoyed doing it in the past.

    The WI group up here is able and willing..............

    why not run it similar to last year?you run everybody in time trials.the fastest 10 guys go on to heads up.just like last year.it worked out well, was effective,and not too time consuming.breakingn it up into all these different classes is crazy.either you got the fastest bike at t.f.,or you don't,plain and simple.we could gather for the main drags early,run off the big dogs before the strip gets all rutted up,and then have grudge matches for the rest of the night.personally,about 1 hour of the drags and i'm bored.i like watchin the big boys.i suggested this somewhere else,but someone said the drags were already all figured out,so why is it still being drug around?i say keep it simple,help keep the arguments,and stress of the staff down.
