Thanks Slowhawk Performance!

 

So I'd be interested in running this class, but I don't think my little h/c car stands a chance! I usually see your buddies up at the track on friday night and their cars are nuts. Hopefully I'll get some saturdays off this year and make a few events!

 

It cost $25 to enter, and we will be having a "non qualifiers" race for the 9-16 that didn't make the quick 8. It heads up 1/8 mile so Its alot of fun. Im sure with your car on the spray it will move out

 

I have a motor here that would solve that issue 100%. Looking to move it too, and will work with ya if you want to step it up.

I was expecting about 9.20 out of it on nuts @ 3000 lbs, and it will take some nitrous as well.... lemme know

 

I'm sure I'll still come up and run a few marco.

JL I'd love to, but see my recent post, the new truck won't allow a new motor

 

I should have hit ya up a couple weeks earlier.....

Marco,
I see where is says cars can be towed after passes, but i do not see where is says can or cannot be towed/pushed, to/in the staging lanes and to the starting line. Can you clairify this please...

 

Yes rules are you are not allowed to tow into the lanes, your only allowed to tow back after a pass. The reason for this is these are supposed to be "street" type cars. Sucks because NED's staging lane goes uphill too so its not easy to push.

Before the first race I will ask the committee what they think about allowing it. I think its a stupid rule myself, but i didnt write the rules.

 

You need 3 gorilla's like me to push a car in those staging lanes LOL, and even then, it better not be hot outside

 

i just didnt see where is is written as a rule...

 

How far is NED from Baltimore?

I like being able to tow up... saves battery, gas and keeps heat out of the motor.

 

8 hours to Epping,NH you guys would kill everyone here, our fastest car is high 5.20s right now

 

its a shitty drive up there...My wife's family is in NH and going thru NY and CT sucks traffic wise

 

Yeah I would take tappan zee bridge to cross over from NY. We can get to Etown in like 3 1/2 hours where we are in MA coming homes takes 5 1/2 because of the GW bridge

 

ATV you can go wax those guys with 1 kit on in your car.
