Fans indicate a desire for time limits on classes during special events

A poll I conducted on twitter indicates that fans would like for tracks to use and enforce time limits

I am not a fan of time limit races for any class, but we did have a Promoter out here use a “one and done” spin rule for the support classes heat races that I was a fan of. He only used these for special events. The one and done “encouraged” the guys to keep going, and doing that in itself kept the show moving.

I would be a fan of a one & done type of rule for the weekly classes. Nothing more annoying than watching a guy stop to draw a yellow after he goes off track or nearly spins only to drive away once yellow comes out.

You wouldn't need time limits if some promoters would choose to not run every class under the sun during special events.

I think the problem is that some tracks just have too many divisions at their specials. Keep it to one or two support divisions max, and you’ll have far less complaints.

Too many classes overall each week. 4 or 5 is plenty. Sportsman, B-Mod, A-Mod, Lates. Everything else drives fans away and just drags on.

Too many classes has always been the problem. I remember a defunct track that ran 8 classes on a Saturday night, big event or not. You can only imagine........

Should read drivers stuck in staging lane want time limits. One track we run some has a 1 minute per lap rule for mains, red flag time does not count. As a driver I hate sitting for 45 minutes in the staging lane, also as being part of a mod feature that lasted well over an hour (25 laps), I can attest it stinks too. Reasonable time limits should be the norm.

It differs from track to track but, in general, there are too many drivers in the various support classes who shouldn't even be in a race car. Every Friday or Saturday night, during the course of a season, it's the same small, select group doing all the spinning and wrecking.

Run all of the support division features after the Late Model feature and they can run until 4 AM for all I care. Stop holding fans hostage!

That'll happen regularly when movie producers put the movie previews at the end of the movie, or when foreplay starts happening after sex. lol

Better start selling them little blue pills at the tracks cause old farts can't stay up that long! Hahahaha

Around here the Lucas, WoO and other special have one support class and usually start the main no later than 9pm....

There should be no support classes for the bigger high dollar shows. Period. And if the promoter is insistent on running support classes for the big shows the headliner should be run first. There should be a 2 spin rule for all classes including the headliner.

I'd love to see all UMP tracks go to 3 classes. The promotor picks what 3 classes would give him the best car counts and that's what you go with.
