I don't know where your car would fit in. I think the rules are still fluid at this point. Is the car still fuel injected like mine?

chrisheltra 01-19-2011 04:17 PM

If you and your car can participate in this without breaking down and blowing up on pump gas then you can be in the street car class.

If not you should be in the extreme class.

Sound good?

its a hour ride from our houses. you have to choose before it starts. it wont change from week to week

RobertHolton1 01-19-2011 04:45 PM

Ill just put it on a trailer the diesel gets better MPG

RobertHolton1 01-19-2011 04:46 PM

but if you drive yours i will meet you there

looking to play

1iron 01-19-2011 04:54 PM

I'm putting mine on a trailer. It's 160 miles round trip to Bowman. Extreme street for me.

Robert, I have no issue with you being included.

Darryl Buckner 01-19-2011 05:05 PM

I guess ill wait til the 22nd and find out the scoop, cause if the only basis in the classes are drive to the track on pump gas, or trailer to the track on what ever fuel, then thats easy. I mean me, Kenny, Paul, Harry, and Robert can drive to the track and race on 93 or E85, just requires a little adjustment in timing. I don't really care what the cars are or who ownes them, I think Robert is trying to find out some refined rules, to see where his car fits in. I don't care if he has a friend trailer Trixie so he can drive it in the trailer class, and he drives the black car to run in the street class, as long as he pays his money, I welcome it. I think there has to be more criteria then wether you drive it and what fuel you run. That can be several things, treaded drag radials only, no slicks, tire size restrictions in the street class, ect. In NMRA True Street we have to be D.O.T. legal for our state of residence, and S.C. is easy, due to no emissions checks. All D.O.T. equipment must function, headlights, blinkers, horn, full interior, including front and rear seats. Fiberglass hoods allowed, all other body parts are OEM steel or fiberglass in Corvettes. Full exhaust, turn downs allowed. Wheel tubs prohibited. Rear suspension in stock locations, after market trailing arms allowed, coil overs allowed, 4 links and ladder bars prohibited. Tire sizing, drag radials limited to 325/50 max width, ET street style tires (Looks like slicks with grooves) 10.6" max tread width. Thats some of the rules I have in my NMRA class. Sorry about the rant, just my 2 cents..:bigthumb:

i didnt plan on expanding the rules or really adding more.

2 classes, since we would be working off 2 lists the races will go faster. if you drive out there like Carl or Chris did every race then be in Real Street.

For the more finiky and more likely to twist something into a pretzel cars that come on a trailer than it would be Extreme Street.

It makes no difference to me at all what class anyone chooses to be in. I'm looking for more car count. limiting suspensions, tire size, color carpet will only reduce it

blubyu87gt 01-19-2011 05:35 PM

If someone (me) is courious on doing the TDL races and is interested in meeting some of the people who do is it cool to show up?

Oh and is there going to be an autograph signing event from Darryl for his spread in MM&FF!?!?! haha :cheers

Darryl Buckner 01-19-2011 05:36 PM

Thats fine with me, but that is going to discourage Real Street as you call it. The reason I say that is just prepare to have low 6 second to high 5 second cars in real street, driving in the gate every week to run with the 7 and 8 second cars.

Come on out. Darryl just puts an X on the magazines.

Darryl Buckner 01-19-2011 05:51 PM

True, cause I cant spell my name to good.:cheers

Pesce Nero 01-19-2011 06:28 PM

on another note, everthing here is what I have suggested

If any of you Alfa Males would like to take over Top Dog next year and make your own rules and run your own program then step up to the plate

Matts94Z28 01-19-2011 06:41 PM

Damn!

:shock:

No thanks. Lol. You are doing a GREAT job running this deal. And we appreciate it!

But, I hate to be put up against a true race car just because I have a tow rig and a trailer and can tow my junk to the track? It ain't no fun sitting at the track with a broken car or truck wondering how the hell am I gonna get this thing home?

Ask me how I know. I broke the input shaft in my Dodge for the third time at Dorchester a while back, had the wife and boy with me and no way home. Kinda sucked..

Besides aint nothing "extreme" about my car lol

i kind of sounded like a dick there but didnt mean it. i'm sure someone else would have there own thought process and may make Top Dog far better than what i have done. and i had alot of help

i would like to relax and run my car also although i had a great time running it

Oh I know. Northerners are like that. :poke:

It's a newer concept, so we can expect changes. Plus you can't please everyone!

I hope that I have time to run it this season. We will see how school goes. :bigthumb:

Carlrx7 01-19-2011 07:16 PM

I just got some hoosier 18157 28x10x17, i better be able to run them! its a safety thing for me! :bigthumb:

MonteC 01-19-2011 07:38 PM

Then comes the electronics debate.

Chillerman 01-19-2011 08:31 PM

My car will be trailered no matter where we run period. So I will be in the extreme street class. Maybe to level the playing field, we can run the races bracket style. Make a qualifying pass, put your dial in on the tree, and make the faster car work for the win.

1iron 01-19-2011 08:40 PM

I am not interested in the bracket racing idea. Other than that I dont care. If I have to race a BB chassis car on tires the size of Fred Flintstone's that's fine. I will show up with a sb on spray and 275's. Come get some.

5.0! It says so on the side of the car. I should have said on a single spray bar plate.
