You are right, it's one small class this year. What about five years from now? And really, calling people whining little b**ches that need to grow the f**k up? It personally sounds like you have some growing up to do. If you think it would be "badass" to watch GTRs race then go to a GTR event and watch them but not at the DSM Shootout. Nobody asked you if you thought it would be cool seeing it either but thanks for your opinion.
I have added a GTR class to the Shootout! With us moving into building and tuning some GTR's, the fact I've always tried to keep the event growing I think it's a smart move.
As for qualifying, we will all get one qualifier for the heads up classes Saturday night, just like last year. The reason the event ran late was the HUGE AMOUNT OF BROKEN TRASH that oiled down the track that I HAD TO PAY TO CLEAN UP.
You want the event to run faster? Put catch trays and diapers on your cars. Don't run your half assed leaking trash on the track and prepare your cars better. THAT is what slowed down the races, not the amount of cars (which hasn't grown). It was the broken cars that slowed us up.
BTW, if the DSE class needs changed, I have asked for input on what needs changed on the Shootout page on Facebook. I am also listening here. I am ALWAYS up for adapting the Shootout to what works, if you don't think I've busted my ass to improve the race, well then you haven't paid attention. I've added 100 racers to the mix from adding an Autocross and Max Effort Classes. So get the RACERS who attend the event to say they want the exhaust rule in DSE dropped, not spectators and not people who never even come but run their mouths and if enough of the racers in the class want the rule dropped, then I'll drop it.
Bring in the GTR's, its not that big of a deal. Hopefully Nelson comes back with his 3000gt and maybe some other old schoolers would bring theirs to play.
As for DSE, dammit, I just put on a 4" full exhaust and my special passenger seat to race last year in the class after being kicked out of it 2 years ago for no passenger seat and my exhaust didn't exit past the rear wheels. Keep full exhaust.
I think adding a Gtr class will take nothing away from the DSM/Evo experience at the shoot out. One request I have is to not allow some 18 second cars(like that avenger last year)or 20 second trucks to race. It's kind of making a mockery of what a race event should be.
Leave the DSE class as it is, otherwise it will just end up as another "pop-can" class. The class is not dying and most have invested good money and time to comply with the rules.
Full exhaust is money and time? It's just a full exhaust. I guess leave the rules alone, we have people shaking at the knees.
I'm excited about the whole thing, it's just too bad I can't make it this year. I'd have to hitch a ride with someone because my car is under construction still and probably won't be ready until the winter months.
Anyone up for letting me hitch a ride???

You can still run your full exhaust, just let side exit guys play too! unless you're worried?
