Wow this thread is like the Energizer bunny

Just curious why Delaware does not have a 4cyl class. I think if you are looking for an entry level division this is the way to go. JMO

Heh. Yep.

I'll tell you this though, we've started like 3 threads about the upcoming Super Modified weekend and we can't get anyone to reply to them...on one of our biggest events of the year. And this is the thread that keeps going and going.

I'm still trying to figure out what to read into that.

WOW...when i started this thread i was not expecting all of this, i am glad to read so many different opinions on the matter!
i believe the thread is so big because of the mixed feelings of chaos cars...
i agree they r fun to drive, as anything is fun to drive...but i still feel they are just a little to boring for me to get excited about...but it is a young class which obviously needs work and more cars so who knows what the future holds for our youngest class.

This is exactly why you won't see the KAOS KARZ going anywhere. They are here to stay LOL. So lets just embrase them and get over it.

Regarding cost of caos cars. It does not cost much and as such it appears that some people think that we don't care about the cars. With that in mind the APC late models it would appear as though they are driving $50.00 cars the way they are smashing them up lately. As far as shape of and look of caos cars, we did try to make a very nice looking car. Too bad it only lasted 4.5 laps. That said we had a fun time and we are definitely still having fun. John assures me that no one has ever lost an engine control module before. Leave to us to be the first. We are learning alot. I have two daughters who will be turning 16 and they are really intertested in this as well. Anyone got a 3 car hauler. Caos is fun and my wife has seemed to relax a little after the first race is under our belts. I think a 10 lap no obsticle course around the front stretch and down the pit lane with hair pin turns @ each end would work great and since there would be less damage RE no 420 degree barrel less accidents = less damage= less cost = maybe more cars and more paticipants. Also I own an electrical contracting company and God willing if financialy possibly may be sponsoring some races. I am going to try and work something out with Delaware so hang tight and we will see what happens.

I only seen the CC once that was during the APC 300 last year, and I enjoyed it...in saying that 2 at a time for like 30 mins was way to long..and I would have much rather seen another Delaware division running but I still enjoyed it.

The "average fans" or whatever you wanna call them....will make up a higher % in the stands threwout the summer then the diehards, and from talking to friends and other people trying to get them interested in racing.... the first thing you always here is "how often do they crash?" or something along the lines of that..... this caters to those fans..and to the kids.

Like them or not.... there a hot topic, like shadow just said...look how huge this thread is. either way people are there watching them ..weather it's to be entertained or weather it's for something to complain about....haha

This goes back to the fact that Chaos cars are not intended to be racing, but provide a different level of entertainment to the crowd. Delaware is trying to appeal to a broad range of patrons, which includes children. Most children are not interested in hearing about the technicalities of racing. They do like to laugh and be entertained, and yes this does include cars crashing into each other, crashing into obstacles, jumping over RV's and enjoying "Bobo" the clown as you so put it. If you go to Lowe's Speedway mid-week when the Bandolero Bandits are running, as well as the Legends, etc. there is a mascot there (his name is "LugNut") that does many of the same things that "Bobo" the clown would do. They also start off the racing evening with a silly race (example: School Bus Slobberknocker). I think Lowes has a pretty good handle on putting on a top notch program at their track. There needs to be a balance between both the fun and serious side of racing in order to appeal to all the people that attend.

Does the Chaos car format need to be changed - probably. Do we need to be able to laugh and have fun at the track - absolutely.

I love to watch a good race and the racing at Delaware for the most part is second to none in the area. Is it perfect no, but Delaware is trying to put on a balanced show week in and week out throughout the race season.

To follow up on the Crazy Lady post...

You forgot to throw in that those Mid-Week shows at Lowe's also get 5-10,000 people in the stands to watch 3/4 scale cars race on a flat 1/4-mile track.

Again, I'll admit it's in Charlotte, N.C., the heart of Stock Car country, but to get that many people out to a mid-week show is awesome, and if that is part of your template at any other track in North America, it's not a bad template to follow.

For those Chaos Car haters, it's really simple, when the 'regular' show is done, and the chaos cars come out, leave them for the kids to enjoy, I know mine do. Last time I checked, you aren't locked into the speedway until the entire show is done.

I'm 35-plus and still enjoy playing baseball, so I play once a week in a Slo-Pitch league. I do realize that there hasn't been a Jays scout in the stands for one of our games all year, but that still doesn't stop me from enjoying to compete, which is exactly why the Chaos Car drivers have decided to participate at that level. Just don't hack on my swing...

Correct, thats because its racing. Replace 3/4 scale race cars with junk and barrels and you aren't going to get 5-10,000 people. So fine replace Chaos cars with 3/4 and race the track properly.

The Legend Cars and Bandalaros is the 'racing' part of the show, not the 'freak' part, Lugnut, the school bus battles, that is the 'freak' element

Quote from: Ryan.Day on August 07, 2009, 03:12:42 PM

But if we took your Slo-Pitch and turned into into a joke such as you had to wear a Barney costume with a flashing light on your head and run around 2 barrels to get to 1st would you still be playing? Or if someone decided that your game was not exciting enough they had to "gay" it up to get anyone to come out, how would that make you feel?

Some guys spend 10's of thousands on equipment, decades learning the sport, months in the shop, with muliple men teams to put on a show that is not good enough to attract fans without running foolish little cars around barrels? What does that say? To me its pissing on them.

Our games aren't designed to amuse anyone but the participants, and the girlfriends / wifes that come out to watch and laugh at us, flashing lights, or no flashing lights. True some guys spend 10's of thousands of $'s on equipment, and I'm sure if Snotrod and the likes had that kind of cash to throw around, they might be in a different division, but they have to start somewhere. Again, it's aimed more at less 'traditional' fans, and more at the first timers and rookie fans, as well as most importantly the kids.
