So I know for a fact you give Zac or Bad Bob a couple of passes and they will run good also. Its called power management, and a couple of key strokes on their computers and its on. It will make it interesting with street tires for sure..:bigthumb:
lol

I think you're missing the point of this whole thing. The fastest import last weekend was in the 7's. Now you want to throw cars that are normally trailered and run 5's into the mix? Thats like putting Michael Johnson in the special olympics... I'm pretty sure this was intended for sure enough street cars not ones that can throw on a plate ins. and drive 10 miles to the track. Show me ONE just ONE known street car around here with a cell that drives daily. Gimme a break...

And about your car coming around my camaro at the track... I'd fuckin hope so. You've had your car um-teen years... probably before I was a twinkle in my dads eye.

The whole "get in where you fit in" thing doesn't work when people try to sandbag and fit in a class they would dominate. It's common sense really. Name one local import car guy that would put their car up next to Zacs or Roberts and ACTUALLY expect to win... Didn't think so

Sooo now they've had to create a class just for them because believe it or not.. they're not fooling me... or the track... or LDELEE

BAD BOB 10-06-2011 01:09 PM
well the cool thing is i can still fit in either class. so i guess i will have to either buy new drag radials or new reg radials!

I think if your car doesn't have A/C that it would have to go into the Extreme Street Class.

Xtreme street- anything goes as long as u drive it thru the gate and have tags and insurance. And True street- regular street tires and tags and drive thru the gate. Both will pay $500 winner takes all. Since we added another class and purse there maybe a small entry fee, no more than $15. Or it might remain free, just depends on the feedback and participation. Hope this works for everybody that is interested in racing that day. I will have the date of race later today. Thanks everyone so far for your input!
Can you go into details about the rules for each class and what sets them apart from each other? Also a projected date for this event. I dont think most people would have a problem throwing in 15 bucks to have it run as 2 seperate classes. I know where i belong but there may be others who are borderline or confused.

Well ii is pretty obvious you need to quit over thing the field cell issue. Fuel cells don't make cars faster.

chrisheltra 10-06-2011 04:52 PM
Its not that difficult tagged and insured and drive through the gate on a street radial (non DR).
