It's a hard call, but keeping entries to a 28 10.5 just by itself would scare away any bottom 8 second cars. Look at the Milan rules, they are very simple. But basically for their drag radial class it's anything goes and folks run low low 8's.

 

there is a local foxbody on a drag radial that goes 8.0's almost everypass.
very nice car, his name is dave buckley i belive. was also at orlando

 

I plan on running Milans' friday night Drag Radial class.

Basic rules, no whiners.

 

I think it will HELP with getting more cars. I'm not looking for bottom 8 second cars. Again I'm looking for more of a streetable car!! Going with a larger tire and you will see 7 second cars. Then who will show up to run them? They all ready have classes for them. I want to do this for the fun- (sport) of it.

 

Right, I'm agreeing with you Andy. I think it's a good idea to restrict tire size, have to draw the line somewhere if it's going to be a CLASS of any kind. I'm just saying come up with 1-2 major restrictions not 4-5. It does not work. When something is new you have simple rules not 'mature' rules like an NMRA where it's two pages of rules for a class.

Milan Drag Radial is pretty cool and it's probably going to be a 7.9 class next year. Given that guys like the OH Boyz are running and running 101mm turbos the class should be a blast.

 

Got ya. Ok, 10.5 and air to air. What do you think?

 

please list 5 cars in the area that would fit within those rules and go mid to bottom 8's?

i can think of one........

 

I like Kevin's idea of only allowing intercoolers in the engine compartment and not in the seat area... For example Mike Brown's CE TA would have qualified to run, and his car had most of the stock interior.

 

what about letting supras and mustangs or any turbo car run in one class?

 

You giving me too much credit!!! My best run of the season was a 8.63. I think there's some nitrous cars that could hang. I want the field to be in the 8's, even if you ran a 8.99 you could be in the hunt. We are not pros on the tree. Turbos are hard to stage and get on boost! When Mike and I ran at the last rsd I think we both ran a 13 sec @ 80 mph. We both had problems!

This would be a cool start to the list!!

1. PSJ
2. Kyle
3. Mike Brown
4. Tuff
5. Z8's.... something tells me he runs 8's.
6. I know there's two Speed Inc single turbo cars running around!! In fact there's another twin almost done! That's three.
7. Outlaw SHOULD have a 8 second f body running aroud next season! If not I could help them.
8. Me

That's just a start off the top of my head.

 

Z8's is on 29.5's... Would you run your car on 28's Chris?

How about open it up to Supras, Mustangs and Vipers Andy?

 

andy..... i thought you were trying to make this a local class? kyle, mike brown etc are all out of towners.

if you want to make it a local thing, than iw ould open it up to turbo mustangs, supras , vipers etc..... this way you'll get more cars out

 

Andy stated 10.5's and air to air

I run the 29.5x10.5

I am not thrilled about it being at GLD ,I'd rather not go there.

 

I'll probably just run some local stuff with mine. www.texastrueten5.com

This has become a popular event to run, might copy the rules from it. They have one similar to what you are talking about. A mustang cleaned house all year, running 5.1's

 

I would hit a f-body only race at 41 if it wasnt in the middle of summer, I'm not scared of lining up against a car thats 1/2 a second faster

 

guys how far is chi from md drivewise? We have a car or two that would fit

 

PSCA Open Comp and Possibly True Street

They just started a 10.5 class At Carolina Dragway(South Carolina).. Stock Style Suspension, no wheelie bars, and true 10.5 tire.. That's about the only rules I believe.. It starts this weekend.. First sat of every month.. I hope to have something soon for that class..

 

Hey Brian, heres some directions you can use to go to hell!

Figured someone might have made that drive being as people race their cars often
