Default Type of racing you like the best

Bowman is going to have an Opening Day race the 1st weekend of May. Ronald wanted to get an idea of the type of race format most of us would want to have?

Street car/Race car in my opinion. It's nice to go out and have fun with some street cars and then watch the big boys go at it.

Like the ole discussion goes. What determines a street car/ race car? Index racing normally brings out some fast vehicles as well.

I know some people in the upstate do a street tire shoot out at shady side for the street cars and it gets pretty interesting. The champ so far is an LT1 car that went 7.0 or something like that on some 275 kumho's.

Bracket racing gets my vote. Looks like I'm the only one.

do whatever it takes to get to the same speed as the other car and at the 60 just roll into it...all the way down the track, and hopefully hit somethin solid on the big end.

i dont care what kinda race, my opinion opening day event should be a true 10.5 and a index 7.00 and 6.00 race, with also a "STREET CAR SHOOTOUT" as long as it has street tires and tags and insurance RACE, they should have multiple events, than just one thing on a opening day, also if there is a crowd later on throw in a gamblers style bracket race. i dont care i can run in any of these classes
