Rob,
Although we will certainly look at the mix for future events, I'm not sure that moving the DOT-tired cars out of Group 5 at Roebling would accomplish what you want. Looking at Saturday's participation numbers, there were already 45 cars in the "Big" IT group (Group 6) and "only" 43 in the Ground-Pounders (Group 5). Move the DOT cars out and you've now got an oversubscribed Group 6 (the limit for Roebling is 50 cars). And do you move BP since it's a DOT tire class? If so you now have a car running 1:16's in with cars running 1:29's. But since they're both in the same class (BP), there's not much you can do about that!
We've already posted the Supps for our June 2-3 weekend at Road Atlanta so we can't change the group assignments for that event. I WILL, however, go back to past event participation when writing up the Supps for the July and Labor Day events.
As the number of stock cars continues to increase such a move will undoubtedly happen, but at RRR this past weekend it simply wouldn't have worked from a numbers standpoint.
