Damn! Please keep it down until this event is over!

LDELEE · 08-14-2013, 05:19 PM

Slowgreen, we were thinking on the same lines. That's why we didn't include radials.

Carlrx7 · 08-14-2013, 05:32 PM

Drive through the gate or can we trailer the cars for this street race class?

slowgreen99 · 08-14-2013, 05:33 PM

Trailer. You had one too so shh

I don't understand this. A 275 is a radial tire.

slowgreen99 · 08-14-2013, 05:56 PM

Making the 275s work is rough if youre going fast

Blue Skunk · 08-14-2013, 05:59 PM

So is it just a 28" shootout or is the 275 part just to entice street cars to race with race cars?

slowgreen99 · 08-14-2013, 06:25 PM

Put slicks on. Or if u think you can make the 275s work, use them.

LDELEE · 08-14-2013, 06:51 PM

Yes, if you think you can get radials to work, it's your choice.

Blue Skunk · 08-14-2013, 07:41 PM

Your missing the point. There are no street cars driving around on 28" slicks, only race cars. With the current rules, that makes this a 28" shootout, not a street car shootout.

With the current rules, what works on the track is irregardless in this race. The winner will be wearing slicks.

Its like WWhittle said, you may have some heavy hitters showing up with the rules you currently have. No street car will have a chance.

Not trying to muddy the rules, just clearify them.

slowgreen99 · 08-14-2013, 07:59 PM

Good! For $2000 of free money, I hope some heavy hitters come!

More chances to hear the gap band later in the night.

LDELEE · 08-14-2013, 08:17 PM

I get your point Blue Skunk. Was just trying to come up with a way that would allow the tire to be some what of a equalizer in the fight. Open to any suggestions, but we are trying to get a good car count.

pfffft. apparently you haven't met shits weak or WTFWSAT! Riding on 28" slicks FTW...

Blue Skunk · 08-14-2013, 08:34 PM

Understood. I would at least ask for tags and insurance on the car entering to qualify it as a street car if its going to be a street car shootout or scratch the street car part.

Looks like I may need a set of 28" slicks for my car. I think its good for some 6.3x too.

slowgreen99 · 08-14-2013, 08:40 PM

Leave the 275s on.

Blue Skunk · 08-14-2013, 08:42 PM

I dont have 275's on it now. I have 31x10.5 stiff walls on it now and I'm not talking about the GT500.

slowgreen99 · 08-14-2013, 08:45 PM

31s? And you were griping about d.o.t. tires? Man

Blue Skunk · 08-14-2013, 08:49 PM

I was never griping about DOT tires just about the rules possibally changing blocking cars that dont have tags and insurance, like me.

BAD BOB · 08-14-2013, 08:49 PM

Knew it would come down to this. How many that are bitching actually race at the track or would race in this event? The track is just trying to put on a race to make those who WILL come and race a place to/reason to do so. We went to a "street car" race the at the HOH a month ago and the rules were basically a small block race. No lexan, no fiberglass body parts other than hood and must have at least factory front or rear seats and sb on 28"s or smaller. I was on radials and probably the heaviest there and probably the only one that could REALLY drive down the road, but did we bitch? No bc we spent nothing extra to race in it and made it to the finals. The moral of the story, done bitch if you 1. don't have a dog in the fight or 2. don't have to pay shit to do it! Thanks
