Hey Guys. As usual I will not be there tonight
I really want to find a night/time when I can actually race.
I have been thinking about how to make Cap racing more appealing to a wider group of people and I have had an idea.
What do you guys think about running two classes in the PP series? I know that there are some people that like running lower PP cars and find the faster cars harder to control. My thinking is that class A would continue as normal with a pp range of 1400-2000. The new class B would run from 1600-1800. Now here comes the part I think could be fun. If we broke the PP range down in to 3 groups:
1. 1801-2000
2. 1601-1800
3. 1400-1600
Then if the chosen PP was in group 1 then Class B would run 200pp less. If the PP was in group 2 both classes run the same PP. If the PP range was in group 3 Class B would actually run 200pp more. This would give them the chance to fight for the overall win while being in cars they are more likely to be able to handle.
The hope is that we could give people of different skill a better chance to come out and compete. I know this seems like a strange idea but I think it might work assuming we can attract 4-5 people that would like to be in Class B in addition to the existing Class A drivers we have.
The overall winner for the night would still get to pick the PP and the winner of the other class would choose the qualifying track.
A few examples of how the PP range would work
2000
A-450-550
B-405-495
1800
A-405-495
B-405-495
1600
A-360-440
B-405-495
1400
A-315-385
B-360-440
So for tonight Class A would run 1450 PP and Class B would run 1650 PP. I would imagine that we would want to require the PP change 200 each week to prevent us from mostly running in one range of PP.
As always this is just an idea. Any thoughts suggestions would be appreciated.

hmm. let me see what I can do...I may need some additional explanation JobyOne
Sometimes I need to be treated like a child before I understand things.
In the meantime lets figure out which three tracks of the new offerings we want to run in December
The three with the most votes will replace the three tracks used the least in Oct/Nov. Everyone who has ever raced in the Performance Cap Races gets a vote. So go ahead and post in the thread and I will keep a running tab.

I was initially thinking we would each get one vote but I like Fox's idea better. Three votes for all

PP for next week will be 2000.
Also, the lowest awd car that fits regulations is at 334pp (unless someone has one that is closer to 326). I know in the past when I only ran three races, I had to subtract the lowest availiable car's pp total and not just the lowest legal number. It would make sense that FastFox440 should have to post an actual car that met regulations to count against the PP cap. If this is the case, he was well over 1450 and Kendawg should get second place.
