Does something like this count for the A/C rule?



Yeah I am not about to go through the hastle/cost of putting the AC back in the GT and there is no way I will even consider hacking up my 85 notch that came from factory with no options (ac included and back seat are included in the list of stuff left out from factory) to run that...

LXtasy: You forgot to add power windows, power locks, and traction control to your list. Those are pretty standard in "street cars" today so they should be added

What if your car doesn't come with a factory spare? Does that count as weight reduction? Also my tires have nitrogen in them which makes them lighter. Is that a problem? I also run synthetic oil instead of regular oil that it calls for. Will that fit in the rules? What if I'm running a 275 instead of the factory 245 tire?

Sounds like the class Ray came up with doesn't sound so bad now. Pretty much the only rule was that you drive to the track from your house. The class will be on the honor system, and self policed like Drag Week.


Rules updated.

Everybody is bitching about rules and really making this whole thing blow. Racing is a hobby for all of us why can't we just go out n race n have a good time at the track. A day at the track isnt a cheap day out. I.at least spend 150 when I go by time I get diesel. Gas up the s10 admission etc. If everyones gonna bitch about rules why waste the money? I liked buckners idea about one saturday a month we just go racing....sorry harry please don't be angry I said his name

Well said man. I think thats where a lot of the bitching (most seems more like poking fun though.) comes from. Just show up and race for fun.... Not have to go through all these hoops just for a day out...

I have been 1.4x in a 5k lb truck with MT drag radials.

I have also owned a bad pair of MT DR's and couldn't get better than a 1.7x with the same truck. The tires were left outside during the summer, and had pretty much lost all softness to them.

This is the 10.0 index rules at Cecil Dragway. Why dont we use them as a guideline and change as necessary?

1. .500 Pro Tree
2. Full Bodied street cars only (no open bodied cars allowed)
3. Finished interiors.
4. Lexan windows permitted.
5. Minimum weight 2800 lbs
6. Mufflers mandatory on ALL cars.
7. DOT tires only, max size 30 x 13.5 (any size drag radial accepted)
8. Gasoline Only (no alcohol)
9.No wheelie bars.
10. No Full square or round tube chassis
11. Back half cars permitted
12. Tubs allowed
13. Pneumatic or electric throttle stops prohibited
14. Delay devices prohibited (2 steps and Tran brakes are permitted)
15. Any type power adder permitted

There was some shit in there about NHRA safety equipment rules but we all know that doesn't apply to us so I left them off.

I'll trade you....it was alot cheaper for me to to the track in SC than it is here.

$100 diesel
$100 race gas
$25 gas in generator
$100 Nitrous (top off 6 bottles)
$50 Spark plugs (2 sets)
$60 Admission (pay my brothers way in for helping)
$50 Food & drinks
__________________________________________________ ____

$485 Just to get to the track & get in.

Thats not counting any entry fee for any kind of race. Its also not counting cost for tires. All the tracks are 100+ miles away.
