But IMHO I don't go to these tracks for the facilities...
@CSG Mike
I haven't been since repaved. Frankly, i stopped going to BW a couple years ago because it's the longest drive for me and I always leave there feeling like my $ would be better spent at any of the closer tracks that offer a more rewarding driving experience

...and I only consider it a bonus that many of the other tracks around here don't smell like cowpies. Gotta love BW.

How about getting rid of Super Mod?? 3 classes rather than 4...

It shouldn't, a mod is a mod...

Ok ok to answer u seriously - im not suggesting to penalize FI differently, just suggest separation from NA, so for spectators to easily see wut NA can do vs FI can do thats all!

Makes sense. I've been curious of the two genres...

Let the people decide. (Do it soon, really really soon)

being that I'm in Street class and not likely to move up anytime soon, I don't really have a vested interest but... do we have the competitors in large enough numbers to justify having NA and FI Mod class?

What about just listing total build points and whether each car is NA/SC/TC in the results sheet for each track day? That would give plenty of information to people curious about the series..

Personally I find Buttonwillow to have quite a good array of features; not as good as T-Hill 2 or 5 mile or Sonoma, but better than Laguna or T-Hill 3 mile.

Also, as others have said it is a great track half way between NorCal and SoCal.

For the heat you just need to get a cool suit!

I like this idea.

For the moment, secretarial duties tells me we should just drop Super Mod and keep the same 3 classes with each car defined as @juliog said. This will make NCRC's jobs and mine easier going forward. Oppose??

Now I gotta put a legend on the results page haha
Example: * NA. ** SC. *** TC. Or howevers.
