Looks like I have a lot of money to spend and a lot of work to do before May comes around. You guys are way a head of me right now. As long as I am not the slowest out there, I will be happy but the more guys I beat the happier I will be <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Don't worry, Bob. I haven't forgotten about you. Your demise will come soon enough, my friend.
I'm just glad I have almost 5 months to prepare, because I'm a poor young man right now, and there are still a few go-faster-than-Bob bolt-ons that I need to get before the shootout.

Damn I can't believe I have missed out on this post. So what will the requirements be for the weight situation?
I personally think that AC, bumper supports and PS should not matter as long as it meets the photo friendly rule and weighs a minimum of 3200 or 3300 lbs.
Also if a car has a nitrous kit on it do they have to take it off to prove they are not using it or what? My DP kit doesnt just "come off" like most nitrous kits. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
I have now voiced my opinions and either way I WILL be in attendance <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

larry...best get that 12 bolt, son. Would hate to see you get all the way to BG and then break on the line.
Lynda....more mods is good, but remember, you're trying to pick on a poor, defenseless 281 cid engine with that big bad 346, so, you know, have a heart. <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />
Rageman...be afraid....be VERY afraid.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Bird...After debating it, we pretty much decided that the interior needed two seats, and had to be 'photo ready'. No set weight limit.
A/C, P/S, bumper supports can be removed if desired. I kind of wanted to keep the P/S, as I cannot take mine off (the pump also runs my brakes), but some folks already had a manual rack, so I gave a bit there, and they give a bit in other places.
The N2O thing could get dicey. I don't see a need to completely remove the system, but we will need to verify before each pass that there is no bottle in the car, etc.

If you go quicker than 11.54,I STILL have the
the quickest stock internal M6 LS1. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Maybe I'll just buy a Cobra to compete in
your class. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Keep in mind,I haven't ran in good weather
yet.
I still need my cold/dry number. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I dont have a problem with taking the bottle out, I will more than likely make a few nitrous passes so everyone can see how my car runs on the spray opposed to NA <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

hmm good point lol. I havent made it to the track at all since I have had the kit on the car. I will be ordering a Denny's Nitrous Ready shaft next week and getting some pro-stars with slicks soon as well. Once the car is ready I will take it to the track and spray the **** out of it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />
This event is going to ROCK <img src="http://66.192.46.51/~wacostr/forums/images/smilies/headbang.gif" alt=" - " />
I am really looking foward to seeing what my car will run with a raceweight of 3200lbs <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

If we can get 6-12 committed participants, perhaps I can propose a formal class for our little shootout? Don't know if the powers-that-be will go for it, but the worse they can do is say "no".
It would have to be a qualified ladder, and then eliminations, but this could really work to our advantage. Here's what I mean....
You would essentially have the class winner from eliminations, and the "winner" of the ET race. This could be the same person, or quite possibly 2 different people. The person with the quickest ET from either qualifying or eliminations gets the title of "Bolt-on Champ" or whatever, and all the bragging rights to go with it. The guy that wins the eliminations, wins the class (and trophy or $$$ to go along with it).
Oh..."guy" could also be "gal"....don't wish to appear sexist. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Whadda ya think? Again, I'll have to petition the organizers, but I can do that with a formal proposal, and also an offer to help tech/police it (would need some help from an LS1 guy or two).

Bob, I thought you'd already petitioned Tom for that class. I E-mailed him privately and he said he wasn't sure there would be time, but he would see. He had to get with the operators of the track. I sure hope a class can be created. That'd be cool.
