LTx Street Stock....we need YOU to register!!! Anyone remember this quote from Kyle?
There are currently 6 registered....we only need 2 more to register before may 1st!! Come on guys lets make it happen!!!
Due to time constraints, we will not have enough time for all 8 classes even though we got extra hour added this year. For those considering running this class, it is extremely important that we have at least 8 pre-registered racers for this class before May 1st. Otherwise, we will have to revert to the 2010 classes.

Colin is correct. We've got a little less than a month to get 2 more cars registered for Street Stock. Surely with all the hype that got stirred up about this class there's more than 6 people who want to run this class...

Surely there is a lighter-weight bolt-on car with a huge stall wanting to represent 
I figured this would be a great class for special-edition cars that don't want to modify their cars heavily.

I guess they really are all scared of me and my hooptinator. Who could blame them? I am a sure win. I just should have waited until there were 8 victims registered to register myself and crush all their hopes. Sorry guys, my bad.

Remind you all, it's not a bolt on beginners class. It's a bolt on records class. The rules were made for a select few so you'll have a few running it. Most cars, maybe all are not even street worthy. Hardly a street class. The light weight, tubular k member, no heat or air etc. Hardly street, but good luck. The true street may have brought 30-40 cars.

You won't need a gutted track only tin can to be competitive and have fun. Sure, if you are going for the W then compromises have to be made, but it is not hard to get a car into the mid 12s and still be a 100% daily driver. Quick enough to have fun for sure.
I think the rules are very fair, and if I had a stock motor lying around then I would run in it - its a hell of a lot cheaper then my stroker, would be easy to finish on time, and I wouldn't give two ***** if it broke! At the rate I'm going I won't be ready for the shootout - the motor is done but I still need a stall, transmission, and a computer/harness. Not cheap, and i have a lot of priorities and a lot less disposable income then when I started. I could run the car as-is with a weaker bolt-on engine and be worry free - how many people drag race without being nervous about blowing up a $3,000 shortblock or grenading a 2k rear end?
It sounds like a blast to me!

I think "most" is a big exaggeration. The field won't be spread by very much and a lot of it will come down to driver skill and reaction time. A couple 10ths can easily be made up at the tree - these are low powered cars, and even with a fairly aggressive bolt-on setup you won't be doing much back half hunting if you get pulled hard off the line.

Well that sucks, I have QA1 rear coilovers on my car. So, that takes me out of this class. Too bad, I really wanted to run my car in this class.

Bottom line is if u have a 12 sec bolt on car you will go rounds and have a chance to win.everyone is worried their car wont have enough to compete. But like they say racing is racing and you gotta be in it to win it!
Edit: i honestly could even see some low 13 sec cars doing some damage and going rounds. Dont be discouraged come out and race. Where else will you be able to race a true heads up class and be competitive? This is a one of a kind oppurtunity to race heads up on a budget. Come out race and enjoy the event and the weekend. Thats my plan neways.

I would definitely run this class, but rules are making it hard for a true street car like mine to run. My car probably weighs in the 3600 +/- range and all of the factory options are intact and working. The motor has every imaginable bolt on along with every imaginable suspension piece, but somehow because I have coil-overs on the rear my car is not eligible. I think my car is the epitome of a true street with working A/C, T-tops, but why I can't have a coil over on my 12 bolt rear end is beyond me. I don't know how that is unfair when I'm dealing with a huge amount of weight (3600 +/-). I already know my car would be competitive from my old ET's (12.61 @ 109) that was with stock suspension and a few less bolt-ons. My car should be a 12.30/12.40 car @ 110 + with the suspension and few extra bolt-ons since that old ET.
