To me, if you need to change plugs, replace head gaskets or do anything that requires wrenches to get your car down the track again, its fucking broken. If you go at it with a philosophy like that, you get rid of most of the grey areas.

If your shit is fast you need to work on it . I change plugs every 2 passes . This is the dozen not true street . True street is a race and the dozen is all year . I guess you cant change the oil all year or its broke or put air in your tires or its broke . The rules are fine the way they are just try to get everyone to more shootouts . If its not broke dont fix it . No matter what rules you come up with fast guys will still be fast !!!! you can add all kind of rules trying to get slower guys on the list but all that does is muddy it up With all the drama it aready starting not to be worth it .[/QUOTE]

Exactly

I see your point, but I have what I consider to be a fast street car and I run the same plugs I put in 3 years ago. I've done nothing to the car but feed it gas, tires and oil.

I consider my car a fast street car, not a streetable drag car. It's reliable and doesn't break. I drive it to the track on the tires I run on, I also drive it on the street on the same tires. It runs on pump gas. I can run the same time from a stoplight as I can at the track. No need to switch wheels and tires, open/heat a bottle, or add race fuel to the tank. Nothing on the street yet has shown me it's taillights.

To me, that's what Vinny was looking for in a DD car. Not a car that rides around in a trailer, needs race gas, and runs the 1/4 on wheels/tires that'd fail on the street.

My .02. Not that my car will ever be fast enough to be on the list anyways. You will see it on the street though- if so, bring it.

Having a fast everyday driver is bad ass !!!!!!!!!! Everyone builds there cars the way they like some want air condtion and some dont care as long as its fast .nothing wrong with eithier the faster you go the more race car parts you need . I change my plugs every 2 passes for tunning resons ( need a clean plug to make a change ) Now i ran the same set half a year last year just was not playing with the tune . and when on the street it loads up so i change them often .And i run the same tires on the street as i do at the track and my car hooks on the street when i need it to Its all about the fun and hanging out with friend . thats what vinny wanted dont lose sight of that !! ps NUMBER 3 FOUR YEARS IN A ROW . WOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man i am relly going to have to spray it next year to keep my number 3 spot

Congrats, sounds like you have a fun car, but not everyone shares your philosophy. I like cars that are barely streetable, Big hulking,nasty ass, knuckle dragging,street cars. Many people like to say"that's not a street car", what they mean is, "That's not MY idea of a street car". If you can drive it on the street, it's a street car.

As far as your opinion of what Vinny wanted, look at what he built, Much more of a knuckle dragger than grocery getter.

You guys know what I'm getting at though. *Some* of the faster cars are friggin trailer queens.

That's my point, *some* of the cars aren't taken to the store, or anywhere else besides TS or EW in a trailer.

Some cars can run the same tires, wheels, fuel, etc outside the track, and to me that is bad ass.

[fasthawk]

first is this for street cars. if it is a street car thing i need the defintion of a street car. do 5 gallon fuel cells no legal tags no insurance and trailer queens mean its a street car. my thought was a street car got drove on the street.

I have seen 10 of the 12 driving down the street and highway. So that rules out trailer queens. Now on T&T nights, I have seen them on trailers. Hell I trailer mine when going to the track. I HATE waiting on a tow truck or someone to bring me a trailer when I break something.

Hey another first time poster. NO those ideas are not a street car.

[fasthawk]

craig dont kid yourshelf you & me both no what a real street car is not a race that can be driven on the street that they have to change tires , mufflers ,plugs , jets, or in this case lap top settings you can,heck some dont have both sets in the front. you can not win this argument because i have been in this game way to long.i just need to no if this is for race cars or street cars or is for your guys rules for street cars because everyone on here knows what a real street car is they ust dont want to admit it

[mcat]

not this year you have'nt.. face it the "rules" have really been laxed this year.
i would also be willing to bet most of the top 6 are not even nhra/ihra legal. i know thats not a requirement, but if the track says you cant make another pass is that the same as being broke?
i would love to see some comp licenses!

So changing tires at the track defines a race car?? Dont think so. Maggie Palmers Stang runs 13's on Futura radials, on slicks she runs bottom 12's. She drives (<~~Key word there) her Stang back and forth to work. Oh yeah, she drives it to the track and switches tires there. So hows that a Race car?? Pssst, it has ICE COLD AC also. Hell, look at Shannons Stang, his wife drives it to work also! Those are definately "street" cars.

At some tracks they are lax on their liscense requirments. Hell, if TT (Twisted Twins) suspension was right, it would be easily in the 9s. My NHRA liscense is expired. I even told dude that, but the track let me run anyway. So whats your point?
Everyone copmpeting in the Dozen has to have another rule now?? Its not our responsibilty to check for liscenes.
Again, Please fill me in on who you are, since you know who I am, it would be a courtesy to know who you are. If you would like to remain anonymous to the board, PM me.
