why not do this.... everybody show up, enter the race, then qualify and then do a ladder sheet for that race. why have call outs. I think there will be more of a turn out for this format. if you are not called out or do not call someone out, you are less tempted to bring your car. i think the racing will be closer with a ladder sheet for each separate race

Gives us something to BS about for the 3 weeks we aren't at the track doing a TD event. Ray had plenty of close races last year during his top dog races.

I like it Mike. But we do need to go a little deeper on the tire issue.

Ray & Tyler were talking about doing the same thing.

I mean how much e.t. can an ac cost you. At most a tenth, for me it's not worth sacrificing comfort on a real daily driven street car for at most a tenth of a second.

I don't car either way since I'm in Texas but the A/C rule seems kinda out there. It doesn't effect the cars et by hardly anything at all (less than a .10), you can't race with it on so what does it matter if you have it on the car or not? If someone drives there car around and drives it to the track without a/c in SC's hot ass summer's then I think they earn the right to race in the street class.

Shit if your driving your car to work in SC during the summer, the money will be well spent.

I agree,

id rather race in the extreme street and lose with a good clean pass then race in the street class and get beat by a v6 mustang cuz I cant hook for shit. lol

i say, you must drive to track on regular street tires, but can swap tires if you want once you arrive to the track.

lol, looks like ill be buying a set of MT 305/35/18's just for you guys..

No. I just wanted to better clarify what tires can be run and what tires are not allowed.

My A/C works like a champ. I'd be interested in "True Street" class. That said at very min. a DR is allowed as those can be used on highway year around. My 555r's tested in Ohio snow. Verdict, slow it the f*ck down and you'll make it home.

My 18" Mickey Thompson Drag radials performed just as good as stock tires in the rain.
