I agree AC shouldn't matter. From the day I got my 84 Camaro, the AC never worked. Finally just ripped everything out because it was cheaper/easier than replacing it and I didn't mind driving it with just windows down. It was far from a race car ... very, very far.

so in theory i can just put the ac stuff somewhere in the car and then it will no longer be an advantage? thats were it starts to get dumb. the ac really doesnt limit much if you think about it. the tires on the other hand would level the playing field the best!

roll cage = race car.......
The fuel cell thing doesn't matter if true street tires are required.

People with fast cars who are thinking about running this with street tires is stupid. Taking a chance of wrecking your car for $500. Let the low 7's to high 8's have there fun and make some money while doing it.

This really is simple.

All you need is a true street tire, insurance and to drive it in the gate. Some of the guys in the upstate did this a while back and it looked like a blast. I believe someone went 7.1x's.

Some of the rules you guys are making are stupid. Hell, it would DQ my slow ass because my A/C is not charged (belt is on), my door speakers don't work (radio does) and my Sumitomo's are 315's.

Keep it simple and stop bitching.
