Speed is not a issue since there are cars on street tires that blow the doors off cars on slicks..but lets not forget..its braket racing..if a 11 second car on dot slicks beats the pants off a 16 second car on street tires but the 11 second car breaks out the slow car still wins..so again i cant see why people cant use tires for what they are designed for..

by that way of thinking a regular street radial is the same as an et street or a quick time pro? the class seperations are set around people being given equal opportunity to win. a cheater slick and a slick are far more similar to one another than they are to a bfg radial t/a.
this allows for more people to feel competitive with in a class and excourages more people to participate.

IF it becomes a setup that isnt consistant..thats their problem and they will break out, not you...

the registration requirement was dropped last year after discussion of the rules.
as far as the "full interior", the general membership of the NJFBOA and most owners in the surrounding areas who would be interested in attending this event are real street car owners. for this reason we have created a rules package that stands between the pure full interior street cars of teh world and the "race car" image of a stripped interior. interior rules are not uncommon on any level of drag racing, be it a regional event like ours or a national touring series.
these rules were adopted not based on the competition itself, but on the appearance of the cars participating being consistant with the members we represent and their ability to attrack more participants in the future.
thanks
