Mixed classes.... March 05, 2020 12:23AM
Do you think the sled can be set to put on a good show (winning distance 320') with a horsepower differential of 1500 from the top to bottom?

The Unlimited Mod class at BG last year would be a good study before answering.,...……….Eye Rolling

I'll answer this one...

When the name of the class is "Unlimited" all bets are off, run what you brung that fits the rule set and hope that you brung enough.
Anyone who signs up for that class knows what they're getting into.

I would also add, with the unlimited sleds set as heavy and as fast, sometimes one small driving error/needing to tap the brakes can cause a loss of momentum that cannot be recovered from. Also..... with as hard as they're running them, one shredded blower belt can slow you down real quick.

Hey, do you think a class with blown alcohol and injected nitro dragsters running together would work? What about a class with blown alcohol, turbocharged, and nitrous doorslammers running together would work? These "mixed" classes work in other forms of motorsport. No reason they couldn't work in this motorsport also.
