Should CCS grid by points?

[ahastings]

I am curious if I am the only one that thinks gridding should be by points instead of by entry date or at least by points for the pre-entered riders.

Only took until August for the yearly post to come out.

this is the time when CCS is requesting proposals for rule changes for 07.

I would love to see some kind of grid by points system implemented. I believe this would make for safer starts into T1.

I know this would never happen because there are too many races and not enough time in a weekend. But Qualifing is the best way. If you are fast, you grid towards the front. I like how in Flat Track racing they do heats. You win or place good in your heat, you move on to the semi's, you get a first or second in a semi , you go to the main event. That kicks ass! You lose out you pack up.

I vote to keep the pre entry type of gridding. That way a guy like me who doesn't race every weekend can pre enter for a race and get a good/better grid position. What's the point of pre registering if it doesn't get you a better position on the grid?

Pre-entry saves you money. If they did it like Daytona where only the pre-entered riders are gridded by points, you would still get a pretty good grid position if you had any points and pre-entered.

I like the fact that pre-entry saves you money but I also think that as far as grid spots go, it should be by qualifying, in my opinion.  Obviously we cant qualify for every race but I wonder why we couldnt be gridded by our practice times.  I dont know if that could be a easy solution or not but its just a thought.

Reason given is that not all practice sessions have the same density of riders. Could be quite dangerous having people trying to turn fast laps in a crowded practice session.

While I would love to see a program rather than a slew of races like we have now...

Qualifying for every race is impractical for the current system of so many differeent classes.

Grid pre entered riders by points, then post entered riders by order of entry.  +1

And how many people go to every race but are slow, so you want them up front? I can start  from the 5th and 6th row and still be in the top 5 by turn one. Try practicing your starts...LOL

[Super Dave]

But there are guys that go to all the races that are fast too.  And the ones that go to all the races that score more points should be rewarded for their commitment to the series and for scoring points.

I think it should be a raffle! They pull the numbers out of a hat and grid accordingly! 

No system will satisfy everyone. The ringers will bitch that it's dangerous to be in the back when gridded by points, the regulars will bitch that they should be rewarded for being regulars, the people who register early will say they should be gridded up front due to their early commitment, etc.

Whatever you do if anything will just piss some people off. JUst leave it alone.

Lets do it like they used to where you have to start off the bike, race to it then get it started.
