easy. Real street tires. No radials or slicks, doesnt matter if they are dot approved or not. Show up with real treaded street tires, something hard enough you can get 30k miles out of them. (id go 295 at the biggest).

Thats the only stip you need. If zac, robert, and carl can make it down the track on a set of those then they are in.

You may have a good point Montec. I know of a Vette, Supra and Lightning that may enter. The simpler, the better! It's FREE to enter race, It's all about the fun!

It'll be hard to do... Zac, Chris and Robert are all "street" cars but are FAST.
My 2 cents would have to say stock suspension, no fuel cells. Registered and insured a must. Along with all the typical street car things lights,wipers etc....

As if making them drive to the track wasnt enough, this would be the nail in the coffin

Then dont enter.

Here's how I see it. The "daily driven" race is like the special olympics, us retarded people want to go against other retarded people.

Then the real olympiads (mentioned above) show up acting retarded and clean house.

Why cant yall just let us retards have something.

I have to agree here but again, its almost impossible to have a long set of rules and have everyone checked. The arguement over "what a street car is" would go on forever but to me... A normal appearing interior with all the seats, like you said no fuel cell, and a DOT tire would be a simple list to check. Street cars run on radials all the time so i dont see why any DOT approved tire should not be allowed seeing as you can use them on the street legally.

Ugh, because a 8 second car on street tires can be a 6 second car on radials.

Im telling ya, one easy rule, easy to check at the gate. REAL TREADED STREET TIRES.

Yes but why force the guys running radials and DOT approved tires to go out and borrow/buy a set when they drive the pair they have on the street every day. If its street legal... then it should be allowed on a street car race.

We would like to do this race before time change back and before the fair starts. Would it be possible to do it next weekend (Oct 16), is this possible or should we wait until November after the fair?
