Tow rig class

MonteC · 01-23-2011, 06:52 PM

This topic was brought up last night. I wanted to put it out there to see if there is any interest. Interest was kind of mixed last night. If you want to participate in a tow rig class then post up if we have enough people then we can make it happen.

Only rule:
Must have a car trailer in tow when you come through the gate.

You should also add that you must have carried a car to the track.

You dont have to. Plan on running the Monster for fun, but we're not towing the Mustang there.

chrisheltra · 01-23-2011, 07:52 PM

I can do that too.....

If I can tow a boat I can tow a car. Anybody have a car trailer I can borrow?

Of coarse Im just kidding Im sure thats not exactly what Rob had in mind.

koolss · 01-23-2011, 09:38 PM

ill try the tow class too,im sure ill be pulling some car to the track anyway!lol

ShawnBoyMoody · 01-23-2011, 10:18 PM

I got excited for a minute when I saw "tow rig class"......but, a Lightning is hardly what I'd call a "tow rig". Is's like my buddy Scott says...... "You can tow anything with anything.......for a little while."

Maybe it should be a diesel truck class instead of a tow rig class? I mean hell we once towed a Nova to Dorchester with a 240Z. That don't make a 240 a tow rig, it just makes us idiots lol.

It has a 5000# tow capacity. Hell it even has an F-250 trans.

BTW Im not entering my truck in the "Tow rig class" so dont sweat it.

I cant be I still have an A/C. lol

So that leaves me with the street car class.

MonteC · 01-23-2011, 10:31 PM

If you tow a car trailer from Charleston to bowman with a 240z then you can run in the tow rig class. Im not making a million rules for these classes. Only a few concrete rules.

Well no use in putting a 8.80 - 9.30 sec. diesel truck that weighs 6800 to 7500 pounds up against a Lightning or a S10 with a LS motor.

I guess I'll race the Stang and tow with the Dodge lol.

ShawnBoyMoody · 01-23-2011, 10:44 PM

BTW. This is what a "tow rig" looks like.

21500 pounds

I really dont think youll have an issue with having a "ringer" in the mix. I was just joking and so is Lurch Im sure. Just join in, race one time if you dont enjoy yourself then drop out.

Rep for you sir.

ShawnBoyMoody · 01-23-2011, 10:58 PM

I need to quit racing the Dodge honestly. Ive broken 3 input shafts in the last few months (two in one week) and its getting a lil bit old pulling that tranny and transfer case out lol.

I did get the big upgraded shaft last time though so we'll see.
