With every thing else staying the same just changing to a 500 pro tree would even things out or at least give the usually heavier high 9s cars a even chance at the tree. There would be no down side to the box cars they can just change their delay. Unless you can go red on a 400 pro tree do your really have a shot?




I remember the first year they had the 10 flat shootout at Norwalk, and it was on a 500 tree, and everybody seemed to like it. Most of the races i had that weekend guys were 25 or 30 or better on the tree, i had a couple of 0 lights myself that weekend.Even footbrake guys have a legit shot at a 500 tree.

That alone would even it up a ton, even if you allowed boxes to still be in the cars.


Correct me if i am wrong but probably 80-90 percent of the guys currently dont use boxes anyhow, just a few do.

When i look in the staging lanes at Classic events, there are WAY fewer box cars than no box cars.
