Whats the rules for a hard tire race?

LDELEE 11-12-2013 06:17 PM

No slicks are drag radial tires. Street cars that drive thru gate.

Matts94Z28 11-12-2013 06:41 PM

Hmm...

BigdaddyDupree 11-12-2013 06:43 PM

How will people be lined up? random or what?

chrisheltra 11-12-2013 06:43 PM

BigdaddyDupree 11-12-2013 06:46 PM

You're gonna be in town?

blkscls1z 11-12-2013 07:08 PM

A non drag radial track having a street tire race? :confused:

slowgreen99 11-12-2013 07:52 PM

Hard tires. All motor. No slicks or drag radials. Thats the rules.

1998ta__1991rs 11-12-2013 09:13 PM

so any street car on a hard tire that drives through the gate?

slowgreen99 11-12-2013 09:14 PM

I cant remember if its 2wd only or what. But yeah.

1998ta__1991rs 11-12-2013 09:15 PM

a 2wd only hard tire race at dorchester is just asking for someone to wreck

So if I drove through the gates on my hankooks I still wouldn't be able to participate? Just playing devils advocate btw because I have no intention of participating and risking stuffing my truck in the wall.

slowgreen99 11-12-2013 09:16 PM

Are you all motor?

I don't know what's going on...why are y'all worried about street tires at this track?

Blower....:(

LDELEE 11-12-2013 09:46 PM

We are just giving it a try. Had a few inquires so far, so we are going to see how it goes.

BigdaddyDupree 11-12-2013 09:48 PM

I may try it out with the trailblazer. It ain't fast but I can skate it threw there I hope!

Matts94Z28 11-12-2013 10:14 PM

Wonder if my 8.0s can win this.

Honestly. You don't want to know.

BigdaddyDupree 11-12-2013 10:46 PM

Street tires tear up the track for the cars that need prep to get threw Wes

GreebeanZ28 11-12-2013 11:05 PM

I like this street tire race idea.

I know...but figured since this was a street tire only event then it wouldn't really matter. And that regardless it wouldn't hurt the street tire guy's times, which one would think would be the only worry for anyone posting in this thread.. Sounded like people were saying they were going to stuff their car on street tires there, which is why I asked.

And I know I owe LDELEE (sorry, I don't recall your name) an apology for so naively talking bad about the track prep that one time I took the C5Z, and blaming the bad hooking on it. I was on shit street tires and there were plenty of people there doing wheelstands. The problem was me, not the track I'm sure. I just couldn't, and still can't, figure out why Darlington never gave me traction/wheel hop problems but this place did. Doesn't matter though, I was and still am a drag noob.

Jimmyz18 11-13-2013 09:21 PM

is a turbo diesel all motah????

RoadconeTuning 11-13-2013 11:33 PM

First to show up on Toyo R888's wins.

PapaBear 11-14-2013 08:34 AM

So no awd TBSS?

slowgreen99 11-14-2013 08:44 AM

Awd seems to be welcomed. My question is, are the ones bitching, even if the rules were revolved around them, going to show up? Fuck no you're not. You probably have to GPS yourselves to the track.

RoadconeTuning 11-14-2013 09:22 AM

We usually have a month or two heads up when we do a street tire race here in the upstate and the prize is a burger king crown... i think last time we had like 12 cars enter. we have a no AWD rule and 200 treadwear rule usually.

BigdaddyDupree 11-14-2013 09:30 AM

Awd or 4wd will win.

GreebeanZ28 11-14-2013 10:09 AM

I dont think the awd/4wd stuff has been the fastest on a hard tire up here. 6.9's/7.0's generally won our races.

So 8.40s need not apply? lol

RoadconeTuning 11-14-2013 12:02 PM

it was originally a 7.7-8.0 race up here. The best final ever was a C4ZR1 w/ lingenfelter stuff done to it vs purple LT1 car on spray. both ran high 7's a number of times

It should be fine. There is no mention of motor only or 2 wheel drive only. Just drive in the gate hard tires only. Got me a line on a fast Subaru now.lol:bigthumb:

Why? Anything can happen and espicially on street tires at Dorchester. Look on the bright side, first round won't happen till dark and the dew settles..

BIRDMAN 11-14-2013 12:42 PM

I need an all season tire shootout. Lol
