It would've been number1 on the DD last year but they said his post count was to low. But this year he is number1 on the DD. I just wish I could keep his butt out of his woods buggy and keep him on the race track.
I remember driving out to m-town one night a few months ago in the MR2 looking for some fun and remember seeing the black car roll in like everybody else. I was definitely surprised to see it out driving with it being tubbed on slicks, but it was there and it wasn't any special night. In fact there were hardly any cars there at all.
I dont have wiper arms on my car, and the exhaust has been modified so am i disqualified from racing in the "Street Car Shoot Out"? LOL
Run what you brung, u dont bring enough? Then go home and shut the hell up.
I'm gonna go buy a Rail, duct tape flashlights on the front and put my motorcycle turn signals on it and come bust all ur asses in a 7 sec "street car" and laugh when you get mad....... muhhhhaaaaahhaahhaa....
JKn by the way^
I am in for this year!
No more being pit crew for the non-shifting ricer this year! :lol:
The more I read the "rules" the more I like em. Lets recap on the "Rules"
Car or Truck must show up at the Designated Start point, drive to the track, make runs and show time slip to Shoot-out staff. Time is recorded, top 16 get a sticker. WOOT!
Now if we are going to be running for $$$$ then Ill make more rules. Most of us run at the track for the sake of running at the track so getting a cool sticker with a Big ole #1 on it is just a bonus. :D
As far as the argument......What is a Street Car. Look at this years winner of Drag week. You know, the event where guys have to drive 1000+ miles and race at different tracks. Well the winner ran 6.9- @ 200+!!!
Also had to be street worthy and on dot tires. They even check for horns, hell my car would not even make them rules. Not even half of the cars at the shootout would not have been legal to race at that.Quote:

Werd. :bigthumbQuote:

If you want a race that is a run what you brung i really dont think mid 9,s is going to cut it.Quote:

Hows that? :HYF:
well i got horn . lights, wiper motor, power windows , mufflers, insurance,tags. 275 drag radials and a nos bottle riding shootgun feeding 2 guns so i guess im ready :bigthumbnow anymore rules to keep out the fast guys :lol::HYF:
Thats fine thats what has always been anyways , you asked for suggestions and i gave a few.I do no for a fact that there would have been a couple more cars that showed up to race until you went from street tires, tags , and ins, to what ever bring as long as you can drive it they changed their minds. They said if they wanted to run race cars on slicks they would of went to n2o to bracket race for money. Key is your race your rules thats fine. Hell the outlaw 8.5 race i went to you at least have to use a certain tire and have interior in the car.Quote:

Most people on here Know wether they got a legit street car or not. All this is is a ego trip for someone to say i got the fastest street car on stabbangerz then take it back home and leave on the trailer the rest of the year.
Why dont you just say who you think doesnt have a "legit" streetcar? :popcorn:Quote:

How can something be called a street car that gets drove all the time need a jump. Buy the way last time i checked it was not legal to drive on slicks. Also most cars that are driven on a normally basis have a fuel cell larger than 5 to 8 gallons.Quote:

The racers also have to pay an entry fee and are running for $$.Quote:

You gonna show up and race, or stay on the sidelines and point out stupid shit and complain? :lol: :bigthumb
Nah. You go organize your own Race and name it what you want to. I like the name of mine and its gonna stay. :bigthumbQuote:

I more than likely have more money in mine than some of the fastest cars on the board have in theirs. I have raced it recently and no how fast it is or isnt in some cases. Getting a mustang to run big #s is so easy a caveman can do it. It almost takes the challenge out of it for me.Quote:

How fast is the Fasthawk?
I know when i got home last time getting the rubber of sucked, i will say the new line loc worked great. I all needed was a couple mph passes just to see where i was at. I was going to fix the trans this winter but know having rotator cuff operation.Quote:

Tight ass ever buy a new battery?
You know the old saying if you cant bet them join them. Well you will never belive this but i opened my garage door up and look what i found. Its a shame i have a spare stroker motor and trans just laying aroundQuote:
