What was the bump spot on the advertised all run quick field? was not posted on the tower.

Great question Bigdog! I take it that you got bumped out of the all run field also.

I'm curious too.

I asked that question over on Fast Mopars. If I find out I will let you know.

Allowing further cars to qualify and knock out other cars when qualifiers ended Saturday is a much better question...

This must be a VERY TOUCHY subject. I tried over on Josh's site to see what the bump was and there weren't many replies. One member thought it took a very low 5 to get into the field. Way to fast for me right now.

This is from the Monster Mopar website that I and others donated our $250. Seems clear how it was to be raced. Even announced it at the track 2 or 3 times.

"Jeff Allison Motorsports Big Dog Quick 32
1/8th mile
8.99 and quicker
.500 sportsman tree
It will be an all run class but we will ladder at 32 cars if we have more than that
You can not dial more than .100 slower than the slowest car in the field"

I think David Waters was #33 or eventually the 1st alt. and his ET was 5.30. And they did announce all 37 would race and then later made it a 32 car field. I hear the promoter likes only fast cars so I guess he thought anything slower than 5.30 was not fastest enough and eliminated them. POOOOF!!! Did non-qualifiers get there $250 back??? Probably not....... The promoter seems to change things on the fly and eliminate what he has no interest in. He must like brand X because he made sure NSS, [has Chevys, fords and pontiacs in that class], got to keep racing Sat. night. If they announce that, POOOOF!!! "We have to cancel BOX and NO/BOX due to it's getting late and the dew is falling on the track and it could become un-safe", then no more cars should have went down the track, not keep racing for 3 more hours with a chosen few.

I was so pissed at them for changing the run order in eliminations Sat., and holding us there for 5 hours, [10PM] and then cancelling BOX and NO/BOX, I all-most loaded up and left. Glad I changed my mind as Sunday turned out pretty good.

Wow. This is the reason Mopar guys get a bad rap. In a NSS field of like 100 cars, there 5 brand X so he must like brand x? Do you understand how many passes were supposed to have been Friday that couldn't because of the rain? Sure, they could have done it your way... and they would probably still be racing this morning trying to make everybody happy and let them get their runs. Everyone always thinks about their personal car, but forgets the promoter has 430 cars to think about. Not to mention, the idiots who oil the track all the way down to the turn off even though the announcer told everyone to pull off to the side and stop about 3 million times over the weekend. Why are you griping about the promoter and the event? You should be griping about the weather cutting short runs that were supposed to be done on Friday but couldn't, so changes had to be made Saturday. You should be griping about the HOURS and HOURS of lost racing time because some drivers are too stupid to listen to simple instructions and pull their car to the side instead of screwing ALL the other racers.

There were more issues then said here ----- about how the field got qualified and who got in

But since I was not in that class I will leave it alone.



Russ

Dan,
No, I did not get my money back. Don't know about the other stuff. Just Q32. Dave was in at number 32. Then they let another car run after the funny car and bumped him out.

So, was this class to be a "Super Quick" type of class with the cut off being 8.99 and all run or a qualified field of the quickest 32 cars?
I don't know how you can say Quick 32 and all run for the same class? There is nothing clear about that statement.

Quick 32 = 32 quickest cars, no?

NSS the class we run was very clear...NMCA rules apply, that means brand X run with us which all of us are fine with. Q-32 or super quick need to have the rules set before the race. poppaj

Nss I will address first. That class had allowed other brands forever. So quit you cry baby bulkshit about another brand car in that class.

They should have raced to completion. They didn't want to. I can't make them race so we finished them feat thing Sunday morning.

It took until 1am to finish 10.0, 1 round of quick and the 10.5 class (14 cars) tell me where we had the time to finish the 130 cars in box and no box.

We had 17 hours over 2 days of clean up..... Do you think I planned that

As for the Daytona getting to make the qualifier after everyone else. I owed him that time run after he had to wait in tech so long he missed his first shot. I felt it was the right thing to do.

Like I said before these are the rules from the website when we paid our money. Seems clear to me.

"Jeff Allison Motorsports Big Dog Quick 32
1/8th mile
8.99 and quicker
.500 sportsman tree
It will be an all run class but we will ladder at 32 cars if we have more than that
You can not dial more than .100 slower than the slowest car in the field"

I had to make a choice when we made the call to split the dragsters from the door cars until the finals. That was make it a quick 32 or force door cars to run 2 more rounds than dragsters.

I will send you a refund if that's what you feel is fair.

Josh, I think that would be fair for the people that were bumped. Also you are correct on the diaper. Still blows my mind that people don't run them.
