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

I have no intention on wasting my time in a street tire class, espicially with imports, not that they are slow I know of 2 guys who had civics on here that would run 7's, NA. My whole point is the race car thing. You have no idea. The NMRA class I run in is true street, where we have to make a 30 mile drive and after a 30 minute cool down make 3 quarter mile passes, back to back to back. The point is my car is a 12 to 1 compression motor with an AOD. I drove it to Bowman to run in the Top Dog race, I can run 80mph on the interstate at around 2000 rpm. I would easily drive to your house, idle the whole time I waited on you, and then drive to Dorchester, cool down and race. Not saying the mileage would be the best, but I could do it with my 12 gallon cell and 93 pump gas. Due to the times the car runs I have to have a cage, parachute, and a fuel cell. Believe it or not a fuel cell to NHRA is considered safety equipment. When I started in True Street 12 or so years ago, you were not allowed ET Streets and drag radials were nothing then, the best thing we had were McCrearys or street tires. Mine has tags and is insured all year round, and all my DOT equipment works on the car, and it has a full interior, nothing removed but the center console, and thats cause I didnt want to break it getting in and out the car. Like I said I have no intention on running with street imports, ill leave them to you big guy!:bigthumb: |
