Re: Thunder Racing EFI F-body & Corvette Southern Shootout
I'll be there! I need to gain weight also, I guess I'll have a roll bar by then. Then I'll just fill up with gas. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> That should get me close. It's gonna be weird seeing my gas needle at full while I'm at a track. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

LOL! Thanks, I'm going to need it to make 3200 lbs by then. Lot's of weight reductions in the works for 2002.

Oh yeah, I'll be needing your forged steel neckbrace to go with that, Madman. <img src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" border="0" alt="[jester]" />

I would definately bring my truck and compete. And I could have some more "go-fast" goodies on there by then. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Sound killer. I can drive the brood (all the way from MN) to visit my family in New Orleans and do some racing.

Re: Thunder Racing EFI F-body & Corvette Southern Shootout
Will a Wolf Race Craft 6 point, bolt in with swing out bar, be allowed for a roll bar? Will I have to get it welded up and replace the swing out to something else to make it legal? If not what will I need to do to make it legal? For what speeds?
I'm trying to get ready for this race it will be my first showing and I don't want to be left out because I forgot to work out a detail.

Well that's really good news! I thought that the main hoop had to be welded.

Re: Thunder Racing EFI F-body & Corvette Southern Shootout
WE will be there with a few cars, not sure what classes we will be in though, sounds like its getting better and better. Where are the final rules to be found? what possible changes if any are being looked at as we(everyone) are getting the cars prepared now and a drastic rule change can make a big diff. to some cars.
Thanks,

I second that on wanting to see the rules in there near to final form.
Hey Nick I really look forward to meeting you (And others) But can you... Err-Uhaa-Humm just bring the mini van and leave them hot rods at home? I didn't think so....Hope to see all there.

Re: Thunder Racing EFI F-body & Corvette Southern Shootout
I am interested in getting more information on this too, to see what all needs to be done to the car by then. I hope by then the weight requirement will decerease some, my car from the factory didn't weigh 3500lbs.

We are talking race weights WITH the driver right? How are your folks cars so light? I have to pull my seats, sway bar, jack and spare, some interior panels and run welds and skinnies just to get my car down barely below 3500. I guess my 230 fat *** doesnt help matters <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Yah you and me both. Some of the people do have their cars stripped down pretty well.
