7s, 7sx, stock full with Trophy Trucks!?

[PAB]

Am I the only one that thinks it makes more sense to move Stock Full, 7sx and 7s to the morning race at Primm?

It seems to me that having those slower vehicles being lapped almost immediately and probably more than once by 70 class 1s and TTs is unnecessary?

I am racing the morning race as well and would rather not have to pass these vehicles there but the speeds seem much closer? I am just wondering if some of you agree or disagree. Let’s not hear the people in these two classes take offense, or complain that they would have to get up early, or any b.s.

Sportsman truck is starting to look like mini Trophy Truck so I guess they will be okay?

I would like to hear real opinions.

for mainly safety reasons those classes should race in the morning ,plus with increasing #'s in TT and class 1 the small number of 7,7sx etc. would fill more gaps in the morning race where alot of those classes are not getting big #'s

nothing worse than following slow traffic in the dust especially when the vehicle is going half the speed

They should have at least put the class 10 with the TT's, I'm sure their thinking the same thing about lapping 9's

Looks like they want to make group A more interesting for the spectators instead of putting 10's with cars that are near the same speed.

Its all about the show i guess

this is something that keeps me away front running at Primm: I don't want my 7s truck used as a burm shot for some high dollar one car or T.T. Although I probably couldn't afford to run the race anyway, to be K.Oed by something at averages twice as much as me, would put me out of business. Doesn't make much sence to me, but I'm sure there is a logical reason for it like not having to push the starting time for the fast guys cuz there is some slow assed stock trucks still on the coarse trying to finish the first segment. Can't keep the guys paying the bills waiting now can we!!!

I agree those class's should be moved to the morning race. Leave the Sportsman trucks with the 7open and TT since they arent that much slower but I do agree those slower class's should be moved up.

The only reason I can think of in putting 10's in the morning is the significant weight difference between the cars in the afternoon. Getting a door shot would be a bad deal for a ten car by the bigger tt's and one's. I'm also guessing they need a certain amount of filler in the afternoon, so they put in the production based 7's. I say filler, not to offend the high end teams, but I'd be willing to bet the finishing rates in the tt's and the class 1's are modest. I'm racing in the morning, so bring'em on.

I think the grouping should be the following:

Group A 1/2 1600, 5, 5-1600, 7S, 7SX, 9, 3, SM, 11, SB, SF
Group B TT, 1, 10, SL, 8, PT, 7, ST

Just my $.02, we have raced this race in the past and never been hit so hard so many times, even pulled off the course for a 1 car only to have the 1 car that was following in the dust corn hole us (while we were still 15' off the course) nearly rolling our truck.

Yeah but how many people would come out to watch Group A?
