    +1 on the Et limit on classes. I dont have a lot of dogs in this race since I couldnt run mine, but still needs discussing. As for waiting later. If Bowling green is an option for next year dont base the weather on the time of year. Next labor day it could be 70 or 105. This coming weekend is suppose to be mid 70s.

    ET limit on classes, I like that.

    I'd run both events if I could, but would pick the shootout if I had to.

    I vote to have it in the fall time. Cooler temps and don't have to worry about rain like the spring time.

    I don't know that it's a question that can answered honestly. I guess the easier question to ask is how many WOULDN'T come if it was on a different date.
    The reason it's being considered is because many that attended, and several veterans that come every year, have mentioned that the heat is getting harder and harder to overcome.

    Staying at BG is a great thought. What other tracks could be as accommodating to the LTX shootout that can be considered.

    If you impose et limits you would essentially have an index class, correct? I know it was axed a few years ago in favor of the true street class. Is an index class something that people want to see again

    Do not impose ET limits, just try to have people put themselves in classes that they should be. I don't think I wouldn't come if I knew the class was covered but it certainly puts a damper on things when someone runs away with a class.

    IMO, and I have only been to one so I am a n00b, but the event isn't about winning, its about the people and getting some cool cars together for a weekend of chatting/racing/good times. So, people should just try to place their car in classes they feel it will be competitive in. Accidents happen with new build cars sure, and that will happen, but intentionally trying to sweep all the classes is not in the sport of the event. Chasing records should be in outlaw class, sooo ya.

    I know what car you're referring to and we are going to check with STS on equivalent sizing of rear mount systems to help level the playing fields.

    I can see valid points made by all about the date and Joelster has a great view oin the other side.

    If possible maybe a poll to get an idea whe that would possibly lose compared to who it doesn't effect.

    I will be there regardless so its not effecting me. The cooler weather and lower ET's would be nice but if that is gonna effect several members from even showing up I can see keeping it that weekend.

    I know that Jeff Stark had the opinion in the past that he wanted it this weekend but mentioned this weekend that he is willing for it to be later.

    If he has to vote 9not that he is not cooking in the heat he might change his mind again but as of Saturday about 4 PM when loading uop after the Shooitout he was all for it being later.

    Can there be a poll created for this subject?

    Registered drivers from this/previous year or actual drivers that will potentially be there should have there vote mean more than a spectater like myself.

    Regardless of car's performances, I am pretty sure I was seeing things by the end of the day in that heat
