i agree

[camaroracer1992]

i say get like a 6 footer for first place then a 3ft for 2nd and like a 1.5 for 3rd.

dont say fast and third gen in the same sentance.... without a "not" n front of fast

[camaroracer1992]

in all honesty, it doesnt matter what gen/motor you have it all depends on your combination. i used to have a nitroused 305 TBI and i especiallly enjoyed it one day when some duche bag at the track with a 00 SS said he'd beat me well funny thing is a 305 tbi nitrous that hooked hard as hell vs a ss all stock everything beat it just because of suspension work vs his stock car. after that run it was nice to see the look on his face to tell him it was a 305 tbi with juice

i'm wondering if you plan on having a heads up class for cars with trans brakes,2or3 steps for burn-outs, trans-brakes,and slick tire cars,10.5" tires,no chassis cars,i run a stock style suspended 84' trans-am that goes mid to low 9's on motor, my home track is Island Dragway there nice people.looking towards racing on your day and having some fun.

[NJSPEEDER]

if the car has current registration and inspection and has an interior in it then you would qualify for heads up.

later
tim

[NJSPEEDER]

we are looking to finalize teh drag racing rules this week. any other considerations that you guys woudl be interested in seeing?
let us know so that we can finalize teh rules packages and start to seek sponsorships for teh classes.

thanks
tim

[jrsfast84]

so all cars that will race that day will have to be 100% legal,my car is drag race only, but has all stock stuff there.

[jrsfast84]

how many people have cars they race and are street legal,that also run 11's,10's,or faster.not to many i know of.

[jrsfast84]

it would be nice to attend, if you would allow drag cars, only f-body cars, it would be an interesting day at the races,the people would agree with me,just watching some fast 10's & 9's fly down the 1/4 mile.thanks for getting back.

[camaroracer1992]

i currently have a low 11 sec street legal car with almost standard weight that will run high 10's corrected. with some other mods im doing this winter the car will be deep 10's if not maybe high 9's.

but as far as heads up ive already been informed i cant run since i have a 11.5 tire. so you wont see this streetable beast perform most likely

theres PLENTY of streetable and street driven f-bodys in the 11's.

and as fun as it would be to watch 9 second cars go at it.....there would need to be other 9 second cars there for a race to occur.

tim has already said that the classes are set up to maximize turnout, wich is the most important thing

[jrsfast84]

i hope they change there minds about it, but i did not mean anything by that, there are a few cars that run like yours and faster, but my car still could past as a street car-but hard to street drive a car with 14.8 comp., .800 lift cam, that will go 9.40's all day at the track and still drive to work every day, but HOPE THEY CHANGE THERE MINDS. so did you ever run at Island Dragway.

[jrsfast84]

you said to maximize turn outs, if i went to watch races and was not impressed with the cars racing, why would i do this again, because people love to see fast and real fast cars battle it out ; that would make me come again or maybe get a car and help out,don't forget every car counts.

[jrsfast84]

so if i couldn't race, how about a wheelie contest, i could definently pass for that- know question asked....... just my 2cents working again.

[Slow_88]

My previous car was an 86z that was street legal and was good for high 10's 11 flat that was driven everywhere but the '88 should go a little faster Â*


I would also have to agree on the fact of having the cars legal to participate in the heads up class to show what TRUE street cars are all about...

im not refering to spectator attendance, im talking about class turn out. who would want to sponsor or set up a class of 9 second cars, if only 3 cars are going to show up? It will only be a great show if enough cars to show up to make it a great show.
if 20 people with street driven 10 second cars are told that they have to be in the same class at a low nine second devoted racecar, how many will still want to pay the entry fee?

[jrsfast84]

maybe you would set up a testing session for f-body cars that would be race cars only, on that same day, you could run them between rounds or something like that. i'm not trying to make anyone mad, just looking for a way to attend, i like hanging with other f-body's owners talk about there cars, info. on improving them helping some out. thanks.
