I'm getting a head ache from all your boo-hooing. This thing is set up for you to win.....I was actually thinking about making a side bet that you would win.

Are you in or not? Just pay the 10 dollars and show up with your slicks.

Lick my nutz, I know how you like to bend the rules.

I can see it now, everyone shows up with drag radials and stock fronts and you show up with bogarts, nitrous and a driver from Ethiopia.

It only 10$ money man!

It will cost you more to drive out there and pay to get in and race.

Edit: I think I misunderstood what you were saying after reading an earlier post.

SVENSONJR · 03-07-2008, 06:41 PM

yeah ill be there, on nitto streets smoking it up. gonna pratice this weekend after i make a few runs on slicks.

Whaler · 03-07-2008, 06:52 PM

I'm 80% sure that a stock blower truck will win now, and 99% sure I won't win.

....but its still going to be fun as hell to get out there with you guys.

also.. If everything works out we will try and do this again to draw 10 or more trucks in, maybe even get SW, Wade & Ronnie to join in the fun.

IM IN IM IN. As soon as I get my truck fixed. workin on it.

Mike · 03-08-2008, 12:27 AM

I got your name down Wade. Most of the names down now are tenative on getting their truck ready. If you can't make it, we will adjust.

Ronnie · 03-08-2008, 11:08 AM

Well, damn. I only have slicks on Bogart 15's. But, I like to come out and watch!!! Should be a good time.

Mike, you can post this up in CLOC, too, on NLOC---you might get a few more people to enter.

*my outside opinion expressed here, like it would really matter*
I think skinnies or any other front's should be allowed. I mean, DOT legal right?

As far as the rears, well. anything DOT legal again. MY OPINION. Why punish the guys with a built motor and have them have to pedal or slow it down, or put on their stockers or go buy some drag radials? I know it is only $10. But why spend $300 on tires for 100? Some guys math are off.

Why: For the show, who wants to see the built motor whipple trucks put 4 car lengths on the eaton trucks???? thats what would happen. Im kinda fond of photo finishes and I don't belive in lengths or bracket style racing... its gay

Drag radials: most of them already have drag radials, you think 600+HP and a light rear end is easy to Drive on street tires?

Even though the built motor guys have to pedal off the line a bit they still have the advantage, the best 60' times we get are 1.7-1.8 on the eaton (or novi2k). With good tires they can cut 1.3-1.4 and we already know what the MPH difference is on the big end.

Final Point: Overall fun and exciting racing. 10$ wow thats a big bet I need to pull out some sneaky sneaky to win it all ......... WTF??????? Its 10$ and an opportunity for everyone to see some side-by-side racing I wanna see it so bad, I told Mike if the built guys have a problem getting times within a 10th of me with slicks (and I doubt it) ill add weight or pull power out.

LXtasy · 03-08-2008, 11:57 AM

I see your point. But just by reading this thread, the size tires actually had me chuckle. That is all. Was almost waiting for the "must have working a/c" come out also, and have at least 35% window tint.
