FEEDBACK ARTICLE - UP FRONT WITH JON ASHER

Jon has a good idea about doing something to enhance the Pro Stock Cars and Motorcycles. Beginning eliminations on Saturday is a good start. How about going a step further? Generally, there are thirty something cars and bikes at most every race. Why not have a 32 unit field with the first round and maybe even the second round on Saturday? Several of the pro stock folks have told me that there are at least 24 or more that are competitive enough to win on Sunday, but with just a little bobble or two, 8-10 go home. If a race does not have a required 32 field, cut back to 16 for that race. Lots of ways to be imaginative. Also, if they would like to cut out the burndown stuff that sometimes takes place; whomever has lane choice gets to decide who goes into the lights first. End of controversy. Burndowns are not competition; they are just fodder for hard feelings. If people want to see fights and shin kicking contests, go to your local round track and see some of the demolition derbies that front as races. They seem to have enough to go around. - Ted Smith
