Believe it or not I am greatly interested in the opinion of others. None of this works with out people showing up and that usually requires that people are having fun.
The HC is meant to try and promote closer racing. I would much rather be racing someone for the whole race than just putting laps in. I had the closest racing in the last series than any in a really long time. This is what I am trying to have happen by slowing the hot shoes down pulling them back to the rest of the field. But at the same time not punishing them so much they don't have fun. At the end of the day the better driver should be winning I just want them to have to work harder. I want it to be a battle to the last lap of the last race.
From what I saw the good drivers still finished up front but it was very close race both on the track and in the points. There was also a great battle in the mid pack. If I remember there was 5 drivers covered by seven points going in to the last race. I don't know how to make that any closer/better.
I think some tweaking of the new system is on the table. But stepping back and looking at the big picture I think the HC system we used worked extremely well.
