Heads Up Rules!!!

hey gang,
after much debate......lol

Rules:
All cars must pass an NHRA based safety inspection prior to competition on the day of the meet
All vehicles must be muffled. No cut outs permitted to be used.
All cars must have a "full" interior consisting of complete dash, fully carpeted interior, two front seats large enough for an adult, back seats may be removed if area is carpeted, console may be removed if area is carpeted.
Any power plant is acceptable
Any transmission allowed
Any amount of any single power adder allowed(twin turbos, twin superchargers, multistage nitrous systems permitted)
Intake charge cooling is allowed(intercoolers, aftercoolers, alchy/water injection)
All electronics permitted(transbrakes, two steps, delay boxes)
Racing will be on a pro tree(.400 pro tree)
Backhalved cars prohibited(Mini tubs are acceptable for proper clearance of class legal tire sizes)
After "qualifying" run(number of runs TBA) cars will be set up in a pro style elimination ladder

Tire Rules:
Full slicks will be limited to a 10.5W width advertised size on the sidewall
DOT "cheat" slicks limited to 11.5 width advertised on sidewall
Drag radials sizes are not restricted.

i hope this is acceptable to everyone. unless there are any major concerns we are considering teh rules complete and final.

I saw your link in Camaroz28.com and had a few questions.
Are you looking to attract cars from outside of the East Coast as well? There are a lot of F-Body owners and racers here in the Detroit area and we might be interested in attending if we can get some more details on your event.
How many cars do you typically get for your events? And what level of competition do you normally attract? Stock? Bolt-ons? N/A? nitrous? blown/turbo?
We've got a pretty good mix of street legal racers here from 9-14's and it'd help if we could get a feel for the number of participants and level of competition to determine if it's worth the trip in from the Midwest. or not.
Thanks.
JP

we are workign towards getting 300+ cars to participate in all catagories. we wold be happy to ge cars from all over teh country if anyoen woudl liek to make teh drive.
the typical car that our heads up class is intended to attract would be a 9-10second car with the above described street gear.
since this is teh first year that we are runnign this event in a while i am not sure how many cars we will see is the heads up class. hopefully we will get at least 16 cars to participate and have a variety of combos to watch. i know that there are a few n/a guys, at least 1 nice blower car, a bucnh of nitrous guys, and some turbo cars interested. it is all a matter of who can make teh trip.
we have already started contacting magazines and potential sponsors. so we can count on teh appeal of the class expanding once we get some prizes set up.
best advice would be to keep an eye on the forum from time to time and see how ti develops. we already have a deal at a local hotel if you guys decide to travel.

i dont think the power adders should be an issue, i jsut think that to keep the heads up/streetability thing i think the cars should be inspected in their respective state, thats just my opinion. if not no big deal my car will be competitive still at the time.

we decided to drop the registration thing cause there are so many people in teh same situation as you that would be caught on the other side of only that rule. trailering the car in is fine.

Yes, all vehicles must have mufflers, and no open cutouts are allowed on the track for this event.

I updated the rules - sorry about forgetting it earlier.

300+ sounds good. I'll post your link on Motown Muscle Forum and see if we can get some interest in a Motown Caravan. With a little prodding, we might be able to "represent" in the Head's Up and other classes.

A lot of the Motown Muscle guys have never been to the Jersey Shore. Since I was raised in S. Jersey, I'm trying to educate them on the finer points of beach life. This would be a great opportunity to do some racing and beach bumming.

if we had space....
that was actually one of teh possibel answers i was lookin at in the begining. depending on what kind of participation numbers we see this year we may try splitting heads up next year. teh more cars we have in general the more classes we can justify in teh future :hint: :hint: (tell all your friends) hehe

It takes a lot to scare somebody in Detroit.
We drive down the highways here as fast as most ricers drive down the track.
