BTW;thats a pretty good attitude,If a 1000shot is what it takes,so be it.
I got a 100 shot
I agree with you on just using the fastest pass, makes more sense because it is the 12 fastest street cars not the 12 fastest averages but you have to run three passes no matter what or it don't count.Quote:

What? At NMRA Wild Street have a built in Stangbangerz event?? That would be cool. BUT we shouldnt have Dozen members PAY to run this event. It would be cool for SBZ to own WS thou:bigthumbQuote:

Ok, Im back out to the garage:)
I say we keep it casual and fun! I think everyone should go 15sec to 8 sec cars. If we were crazy we could make it a Show type deal at Cincy speed run em up to tristate and bust em off like we have done in the past from Ribfest! Oh and if you want to make it really cool everyone chips in $10 and we donate it to a church or charity to make sure someone can smile for a day.

My chassis is going to get fixed but it will need too much to make a real "street" car, or at least more than I really want to do. Oh well maybe next year. Then again there is that problem of my wife not wanting me to race anymore.:rolleyes: :(
The only thing I would add is to make a few stops along the way, so nobody can really "cheat" their way onto the list. Much like how Hot Rod does the Pump Gas Drags. Make people pass through 3 or 4 checkpoints, collect various stickers, arrive at track and race.
Just my plugged nickel.

I think we should all meet at MD and caravan to Tri State. A Sat test and tune would be good palce to run the event. Md would be kinda in the middle for everyone to meet up. Cincy is kinda far for us people up north. What do you guys think?
That will work also.:bigthumb
BTW, MD is only 6 miles away:)
Pretty much exactly what I was thinking. I was kidding about national trails.Quote:

Absolutly FLY'n:bigthumb
plated that was a nice pass looked like the track was hooking tonight and i think that car has more in it
man i'm sooo happy,the 10,67 pass i had a 1.695 60ft,i did throw an 80lb bad of concrete in the trunk and got a 1.56 60ft my last pass but missed a gear and went 10.76.help me out timmy what to do next?do an auto and brake?
Sounds like you answered your own question bub. If you threw 80 lbs in the trunk and dropped almost a tenth and a half off your 60.......I'd be finding a way to put some junk in my trunk. :D Looks like the cars likes that extra poundage in the rear.Quote:

Put an auto in it, you won't regret it :bigthumb
Hey plated,if your car loses alot of boost on gear changes it might be a good idea to go to an auto or a clutchless stick transmission.
i'm looking for an auto setup with a break now.theres no reason the car shouldn't get good 60's it has a good suspension setup,it's probably needing adjust right or get some video of the car leaving and see what it's doing?and the weight added to it really seemed to help alot,how much weight did u add chuck and where did u add it?
Well,alot of people have there own opinion on where weight should go in a drag car? In my eyes you need to put as much as needed to help the car 60ft better but not scrub off ET,Mostly in the front of the car,just kidding the rear!! I had to put ALOT of weight in my car,ALOT!
My car is 3205 lbs with driver and fuel.
On another note, so what are the rules so far that are agreed upon for the finally???? Tristate??
Hum so where are you scales at? Give em up
? edgewaters scales ?Quote:

Did you corner scale your car?
No only suspension adjustments I have made are shocks settings and tire pressure. Car is set up the way Chris set it up. I think the radials get hit too hard but someday I am going to run a set of 28x10.5's on it. As soon as the budget works out.

Ok sorry vinny.
So far the rules are:
1) 30 mile cruise. Some highway/some city/some mom and pop roads too.
2) Tags, Insurance and registration. Show proof at the date of competition,no dealer tags,etc.
3) What ever tires you wanna run on. Just no may pops or will pops.
4) 3 passes (chances) take the fastest pass and thats your #
5) And a donation $10 will be made from each entrants and will be givin to
vinny and he will hold it until a charity has been decided upon.
Lets here it guys,speak up.
And you need to drive the car on the street some...Not just the day of the race.
Is the 30 mile cruise going to determine that it is a street car? If you want to only have real Drivers maybe you should make it somthing of a real street car test. How about a parade around the 275 loop then 3 passes without touching anything.Quote:

Sounds cool. Also leave the tires alone. Except for air pressure.
How about et streets or drag radials only?
