arob Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) On second thought not sure I like the bonus.Points championship ought to be straight up without gimmicks that favor the one driver who could pull it off to be able to jump several spots to the top..Ought to be interesting hope someone does a race report as I can't be there.

SULLIVAN Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 I guess our point shot is over with because we have plans Friday that cannot be change. yall have fun Quote
2damslow Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Ya that's stinks know a couple other teams with plans that cant change, one is fighting for points also. Quote
top_shelf_12 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 How about a compromise? Double points for Saturday Night? Quote
Kenys53 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Well, we are out.... Have wedding Friday night!! So much for our run for points. Quote
drttrk25 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 south texas friday night football just not right to penalize drivers that have been there every night this year to run for points on friday night Quote
SULLIVAN Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 I don't understand all the double points just finish the season like we were supposed to. Everyone that has been loyal and worked really hard to make every week could get dumped by one bad night Quote
arob Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Bingo! And a fine run it was Kenys53 ! Shame it has to end like this.drttrk25 is right too. Quote
jon11x Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Iknow i can be there Saturday. Not sure about Friday Quote
EricR5A Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Not on board with the bonus points shouldnt reward inconsistencies shoukd reward the drivers who race hard and finish good and consistant the points leaders are there cause they showed up every week despite the odds and raced hard. Everybody else had the same oppottunity and hardships throughout the season show up and race simple as that no gimmicks or bonuses Quote
acole Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 I guess all the drivers that participate in high school activities on Friday night will lose out on any championship hopes. Throwing in races on spur of the moment, is not a good thing. Remember we our not racing for a living, we all have families and activities planed with them. Not to mention work schedules. There will be plenty of drivers & crew that won't make Friday night, because they have to work. Quote
top_shelf_12 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 I don't think this was meant to be a reward/punishment but more of trying to give the racers an extra night. But, I had forgotten that it was posted that the season would end Nov. 8 as planned. I'm on call that weekend as well so wouldn't make it anyways. Hope something will be figured out... Quote
2damslow Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Just curious is this set in stone? Is any one "for" this change? Quote
drttrk25 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 thanks for the chance to race an additional night. race for dollars on friday and points and dollars on sat no gimmicks no bonuses Quote
craneop00 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Think the track means well by this just dont know if every view was thought out. Hope it is not set in stone and the track takes a step back and thinks a little longer with everyones input. Jmo Quote
slowman80 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Can't believe its going down like this its sad a race in November is bad but adding another race and run the points the way they are going to do its a shame and all the people that busted there ass all year and now it could be all for nothing wow I've been to every race this year can't make it Friday try to make it sat well good luck drivers and sorry to here Kenny53 hope to see y'all race next year Quote
23571race Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) IF YOU WANNA RACE SHOW UP! IF NOT STAY HOME!!!!!! YALL ALL COMPLAINED WHEN IT GOT CANCELED , NOW YALL COMPLAIN THAT THERE IS A PLACE TO RACE. THE TRUTH WAS SAID NOW IT GOT EDITED!! Edited October 2, 2014 by 23571race Quote
arob Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 drtrk25's suggestion is fair and easy to adopt.If you wanna give a bonus give dollars not points. Quote
slowman80 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Wow someone has a adatude there's no need to yeal do you race and do you win what car and number are you. people make plans and yes it is the holiday season. I understand some people don't race like myself but for people that bust there ass all season then the bomb drops lose everything in one night do you have anything to lose Quote
zamie Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 I am great full that they are willing to give us another day to race. And as far as making everyone happy you are not going to do that! JMO. Not all cars can go race anywhere (E-MODS). Quote
