The Heart and Soul of the 4 Wheel Jamborees

Tough truck track changes

As much money as special events makes off these races i'd like to see them put timing equipment on the tough truck track. The top 16 were all within 3 seconds. How accurate can stop watches really be. I know this only affects qualifying but a lot of times making the 16 is only a matter of hundreths of a second. Instead of a 2 day qualifyer then a final on sunday i'd like to see side by side races all three days. As much money as we got in our trucks we'd like to have more seat time , i think thats why a lot of guys are going to NORRA.

In a way we are circle track drag racers. How much seat time does a drag racer get? I've never really worried about seat time. The spectators would probably enjoy multi-truck more and I know that Mickey Thompson would also like it. The subject is definetly food for thought.; ▶ Reply to This
