11.50 - Allow deep staging.
10.50 - Allow deep staging.

8.50 or 8.90 or 9.0 - No Deep staging allowed.
(The ET decision should be made by the current Quick Time-8 racers that have supported the class for years, not somebody that "might race it if you do this or that")

I like the 8.90 index idea, aside from the NHRA association with that number, as Edgar stated I also like the fact that it has an '8' in it, just sounds faster than 9.0.
Open to all GM EFI as it is now and no deep staging needed.

As for the QTP EFI 11.50? I don't know if Barry and/or Raceway Park really need to go through the various hassles of keeping that one going, it had so little participation in 2010 (even then it was mostly Corvettes who have their own Pro 11.50 anyway) and I just don't see it getting any better in 2011.

QTP EFI brackets and Quick Time Pro 8.90 (aka: QTP 8.90 index) is where it's at.

Try and stay on topic.
I'm discussing the Quick 8 class. I have no involvement with 11.5

Deep staging is gay.

But I couldn't care less if it was allowed or not.

4D, let the people who want Barry to kiss their asses speak up for themselves.
I'm sure you couldn't give 2 ***** about deep staging youself.

Deep staging is not a crime. And you guys talking index.....i can teach you a few things with index racing with the tree and make you want deep staging but that's just me...i only been doing this 8 years.

OK, lets say it will be 9.00 index. Lets discuss the rules.

I'm thinking

GM EFI Motor
GM Body only???? (do you want to race against Fox body cars)
Any power addder
4.00 Pro tree w/ 7 sec auto start
Deep Staging??? (Remember auto start will be on)
Any GM style Transmission
Trans Brake & 2 step Allowed
Muffers required
Full Interior, carpet, ect.
Any tire??? Maybe 30/13.5 max??
No tube or sq. frame cars
No four link cars???
Weight limit??? (like 3,000lb min.)?
Barry races by himself (saftey reasons)
All run field
Pro or Sportsman Ladder???
Lesser breakout advances
Min qualifying ET 9.99???

You just saved me and 50% of this years participants $150 not to mention most of my wins come from Barry no-shows

Wasn't aware you've been a quick 8 winner.

REDGAR

round wins...runnerup up two maybe 3 times over the history of the series.

Food for thought...here are your entrants for 2010 and their average qualifying times
What I am trying to point out it is 9.99 to get in, while it sounds nice, leaves out half your base. It also puts you all at risk for not qualifying if you don't get off one of two passes cleanly. From experience, it is not fun when you have to tell a driver that went 10.01 and 10.09 that he cannot participate in a class that is all run or has less than the max number for the field.


Average of 1/4 mi time
name Total

Average of 1/4 mi time
name Total
Jay McCardle 8.18
Charles Weslowski 8.79
Frank J Beck 9.22
Alfred 'Sonnie' Pongonis 9.66
Shawn Cavanagh 9.79 This one should not have counted due to equipment
Barry Adler 9.97
Edgar Perez 10.46
Stephen Wells 10.53
Gary Deak 10.95
Pat McGrath 11.08
Melissa Florello 11.12

People are just making suggestions and sharing thoughts. "IF" it ever becomes an index class, I personally wouldn't want to see a minumum qualifying time to get in either.

I think my carb should be allowed due to the grandfather clause.

Since the field has been limited I don't think a there should be a qualifying ET, just the quickest 8 cars.
"IF" and "WHEN" the field gets crowded the qualifying would be appropiate.

REDGAR

You can have the "grandfather" clause if you have already raced in the class with the carb..deal?

Firehawk441

iTrader: (41)

Just because you're a grandfather doesn't allow you to race...

It's ok, I'll just run time trials on raceday-I can always call someone out for a grudge race if I want to.

Don't worry about it Nurse Betty.

When you run that Big Block you will **** your pants.
Then your car will be Fool Injected.

That's close enough.

Jay averaged 8.18?
Damn, if he had that much still in the car why didn't he let it all loose down at MIR?!
He's only .03 off the IRS record and that's an average!
