View Poll Results: What is your opinion of timing at NSS Events
I've been making calls for the last couple of days -- twisting arms to go to the AHRA race (more on that in another thread -- soon).
The topic of other calendars have come up -- and I've indicated that I (and Dallas) was strongly considering running a 5-race series in NSS. More than a couple of times -- I was told that they wouldn't run it because it was a bracket race and not a Class race or that they didn't adopt the "Universal Rules". While I would much rather run a Class than a bracket -- I don't know that it is a deal killer for me -- and I'm not real sure what differences in cars there is from the "Universal Rules". I believe that the Chrysler Classics is like that too -- but they're really not NSS -- but Nostalgia Wedge and Hemi races.
I asked why they do bracket timing and got a variety of reasons -- from the tower can't handle it -- to the promoter is convinced that he'll attract more NSS racers.
Now I don't want to stir up a hornets nest on this -- but it would appear that putting the Class' time on the car would get around the tower's issue of not being able to handle class racing -- and a poll would give the true opinions racers have on Class vs. Race.
So that said, if you have a car that is legal to run NSS -- please take the poll and give your opinion on timing at NSS type of events.
I voted INDEX...... BUT with that being said, I can race either way. Yes, it might attract a few more cars that are "stuck" between class indexes. After all, index racing is a "bracket race", without being able to change our dial ins......
My vote is:
D. None of he above... prefer index, but would race bracket......
I'm sort of the same way -- I'd much rather Class racing, but won't let bracket racing be the deal breaker. However, there are some who say it is the deal killer -- so I wonder if there's an equal number of those who come to those who won't?
Just to be the troublemaker I am.. I clicked don't give a rats ass.
It really wouldn't really matter to me, as long as I could put the foot to the floor I would be in. The only race I attended that I would be hesitant on going back was an index race on a .400 tree. That was tough.

I agree 100 percent! Foot braking on a .400 pro tree is really bad. Especially for the slower cars (like mine, 11.00).
For most events, especially open ones with large fields, the class/index system gives NSS a distinctive look and feel compared to routine bracket racing.
I believe it's important for NSS to maintain that uniqueness and be seen as more than regular bracket racing, to have something of that old-time class structure.

You can dial your own, but the dial has to end in a zero, and you can't change it once the event starts. It's challenging, interesting, and is a lot of fun.
