New Heads-Up Shootout
 
Need some input guys. We are thinking about having a 5.80 or 5.90 Heads-Up Shootout. Off the top of my head, I know of several cars that run in this range. Just trying to get some feedback to gauge the possible interest in this class. Rules would be; No Scoreboards, No qualifying, Pairing by drawing names out of a hat, NO ENTRY FEE, Run Whatcha Brung. $600 to win, $300 r-up, $100. Based on 10 cars. Just trying to see who would be interested and what the cut off would be 5.80 or 5.90. We are just trying to give the smaller guys a race that they can compete in, have fun and have a good chance of winning. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, for the feedback Mark. If we can get atleast 8 cars confirmed, it's a go. Talked to Cut Throat earlier and he's in. Just need 6 more cars.

Index is gonna be hard to do with the cars that grudge race, because Everyone will know what the cars run if you do it like that, the heads up fast ford is a blast or have a street car shoot out would be good also, have to be on DOT approved tire(dragradial) the would be good heads up pro tree


Just my 2cents

#1 Rule Wes Whittle isnt allowed, HaHa:roll:

So everyone has a chance!!!!!!!

LDELEE 10-25-2011 06:02 PM

If we dont go the index route, would limiting the tire size help to keep the faster guys out? Nothing bigger than a 28 or 29 size tire?

1998ta__1991rs 10-25-2011 06:17 PM

honestly i dont see how you can have an index race and not show times

1iron 10-25-2011 06:21 PM

I'll try it. Might be able to run 5.90 on two kits.

RobertHolton1 10-25-2011 06:26 PM

No index racing... Heads up first to the other end wins

anythings goes on a 28 less than or equal to

bababuschka 10-25-2011 06:33 PM

I might be able to pull off a 5.80 at the 330' mark, that counts right!:hide:

Cars have been 4.50's on 28's and 4.30's on 29's. Those tire sizes aren't going to do shit.

If you want some interesting racing, make it a DOT tire class. Nothing bigger than 28" tall. (which would be pretty much any radial/DOT except the 315)

No other rules- run whatcha brung. Dorchester is not a radial track, so it would make for some very interesting racing- anyone could win any round against anybody.

I second this DOT class along with an anything goes class.
