That's right, No more BP or FM etc.....GGR has gone to the points system.
Proposal was approved by the DEC in October and rubberstamped by the GGR Board in early November. I have it directly from the current Competition Director.
So make sure to get your car into the points classification and see what high horsepower cars you will be competing against (no lie)
It will probably work fairly well with AX with a few future tweeks. As far as Time trial goes....I think it needs more work...but what do I know. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
It is what it is, and we will see how it goes.
It's all for a $5 trophy at the end of the year anyway.

you're right Dave. no matter what you do there will always be some classes with few if any participants. This was something they were trying to eliminate, but part of the problem is that a lot of folks have classed their cars and have never participated in AX or TT and probably never will. It skews the numbers of folks in a particular class as shown on line.
So even in AX 15 where you are with like 3 or 4 others listed only yourself actually participates.
Then there are classes with 20+ cars that do participate...regularly. Once the dust settles I think this scenario will decrease the numbers of folks competing. Especially in TT where, after a few events, the same 3-5 folks finish atop the standings the rest of the folks will be packing up early on sunday and going home. How does that scenario increase competition.
For myself at TT, I have always been my competition, regardless of who was in my class. So what rules we have for competition really are moot.
I hope I am wrong about the above but I don't think so. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)
