Question about the mufflers.
Plans for the car dont have an exhaust system anywhere. I was going to just dump headers or run zoomies out of the hood. Any tips on how I would still be able to run?

get mufflers. lol

Its unchristian to muffle a big block. You are going to get in the way of God?

Dual Bullets are ok right? I ran them before on friday's,saturday's, and a couple of wednesdays last year with no problem

bullets are advertised as mufflers, that is good enough for me.

Now that the time for racing is drawing near, could you please post the final rules and classes for the racing. Thanks

The rules posted above all up-to date for the bracket classes, and there is another thread for the rules for the heads-up class. These rules should not change between now and the day of the event.

Thanks for the info. I am planning on being there. Only rule I don't like is the electronics. An all motor class would be nice.

What our the prizes for winning elimination brackets? I already know the car show prizes, but what about winning your elimination bracket? Also, will there be a King of the Hill, where the four winners of each elimination class will race eachother? I think King of the Hill would be awesome. So, what prizes are there for winning your bracket?

i have a friend who has a stock t/a, and has a nitrous on it , the rules say that NO ELECTRONICS, so is the Jacobs box or the progressive box for nitrous ok, because they all retard the timing at the end of the 1/4 mile so it doesn't blow up. which with all nitrous systems they want you to do it so it doesn't detenate. for the bracket rule classes.hope this doesn't cause a problem, my friend told on this past sunday he couldn't race the bracket classes only the heads-up, because of the NO ELECTRONICS and that sucks. is he right or am i wrong. thanks.JR1

Sorry about the confusion. The no electronics rule only applies to the types of things that would help a bracket racer (delay boxes and such). A timing control box for ignition retard is perfectly legal, so tell your buddy that he is welcome to run in one of the bracket classes.

thanks, i'll tell him, so he can stop thinking about how to beat me, thats what he was busting my hump about.thanks again.JR1.
