[QUOTE=WWhittle;204556]You know exactly why!
Example- if you took your current combo and turned it into a nitrous combo- could you go as fast, as easy, and as reliable? Absolutely not.

I know there's a certain big block nitrous car that can run with the turbo cars and do very well.......so, should you designate small block only for the nitrous class?? I'll run either way, but it's nice to know that your car has a chance

No because if they draw the fast boosted cars on 29's there are very few nitrous cars that could run with them in an outlaw style race.

And if the fast BBNOS cars want to step back and run with 28's or 275's at Dorchester I say bring it on.

So for one to have a possible slight advantage you should X him out? Think about how many I them are out there to be competitive. Are they really going to be a big deal just so you won't have as many cars? So my street car on 28s would have to run cars on 29s just bc of the power adder? That's just one more thing to complicate things.

To be simple do a 28 10.5 non w/ 275 smallblock only then do a 29" outlaw anything goes. That's easy rules to inforce

Chris Tuten has been 4.70's at Dorchester, on 28's, with a smallblock single turbo. Same combo you have. Just because you built a combo that won't run 4.70's doesn't mean you get special rules. If you want to run a boosted combo you should run with boosted combos. And the pump gas street car excuse doesn't fly with me. I know what E85 is capable of.

And just to be clear- I'm not saying any of tbis for my benefit- I'm saying it because its fair.

My point is why leave anyone out based on power adder? This is a race that they are tryin to get as manny cars in as possible. You think that if I run that there will be people saying I won't have a chance bc he is turbo? Really? I think at Dorchester everyone has a chance whether the cars are equal or not. That's like saying you can't run more than one kit bc some have 2 and3 kits and have run this et! I don't think they are trying to make so many rules to where they will count a lot of people out. It don't seem to change much at the HOH when they run there 28" race. They allow anyone on 28s and you see plenty of NOS guys running with the FI guys.

Oh and wtf does it matter what his car runs with whatever combo compared to mine? That's like compositing your Fulton LS motor to the guys running around here now. So people just have the extra time and money to get there stuff working better than others. Plus mine is a street car!

1. You wouldn't be left out because you could run the boosted class.
2. I don't think anyone is scared of you. But if they let your turbo in they have to let everyone else's too and those are the people that don't need to be racing the little people.

This is the dumbest post yet. Why does it matter? Because thats the way rules work. By your logic, each car gets their own set of rules based on their ET, and how much time and money they have? Come on man, dont play dumb.

You keep calling it a street car, maybe you should just drive it around in the street then. This is a discussion about a race at a racetrack.

If this was a regular Sunday night race I wouldn't think much of the rules. But if they are going to pay $5-$10k, the rules need to have in mind that there are going to be some heavy hitters show up.

My theory is based on most class racing. How many of the heads up classes are nos only? Basically the only ones that local people put on and are scared to let the turbo guys in. X275 odr and most all others allow turbos. I am not wanting them to just allow me in. I don't give a fuck if they allow anyone in the world to come. I just want to race and don't see why I would have to run people on 29s just bc I have a turbo. I guess bc you are a nos guy you think it should all be about them. It seems that you are the only one on this board that doesn't want to allow turbos and you will probably be the one not there. They want to make it simple so why make it harder? Any smallblock on 28/275? Oh that's right bc it's unfair. But wouldn't it be unfair if there were tin can race cars running street cars? Bc I got a street car!

Or should they just be bias towards Nos cars?

If they took all those rules away, which combos would have the advantage? Basically the only ones that local people put on and are scared to let the turbo guys in. Scared? No, just realistic. X275 odr and most all others allow turbos. And have a shit ton of rules to go with it. I am not wanting them to just allow me in. I don't give a fuck if they allow anyone in the world to come. I just want to race and don't see why I would have to run people on 29s just bc I have a turbo. Because your combo is capable of running very fast. Just because yours won't isn't anyone elses problem. I guess bc you are a nos guy you think it should all be about them. If this was about me and you I wouldn't have said shit because you couldn't outrun me if you were dropped off that high horse you are riding It seems that you are the only one on this board that doesn't want to allow turbos Where did I say to not allow turbos? and you will probably be the one not there. I have probably run more Dorchester races than you have but whether I am there or not has nothing to do with the rules. They want to make it simple so why make it harder? Any smallblock on 28/275? Because they obviously want to draw more cars than just smallblocks on 28's and 275's. Oh that's right bc it's unfair. But wouldn't it be unfair if there were tin can race cars running street cars? Bc I got a street car! Then go get some groceries.
I thought you were smarter than this, but apparantly not....

You have a knife and you want to come to a gunfight.

Call each other. Neither is making sense IMO. Wes is making jokes and jabs and bob is trying to let huffers kill nawz. Make it nitrous and boost in 2 classes, let the tires be the limit at 28s

damn Robert all the Ruckus over your Lil street car, turbos, nitrous, who cares who has what power adder, if you can't get your nitrous car faster then that's your problem.

In his defense, it's very street able, and is the fastest stock block and crank car I've seen, so no he's not on tutens level. But I agree that without weights, you can't run boost and nawz together.
