I thought they weren't gonna tech too hard at this event? I know its for my own damn good but I really dont want to put a 6 pt in. I'd like to come though, even if I don't race I'm gonna drive my car up there.

Sweet, my handle is going to be "The rubber duck".....
Have fun with it
I'll be pulling a trailer with my Magnacharged Silverado, somebody else can drive the other car. I get brave when I pull the big enclosed trailer, and I will swerve back at a trucker

I love these events. Bring your street car that will never pass tech for the time it will run! The easier it passes tech, roll cage ect, the less it is a street car IMO. I would be willing to bring close to 1000rwhp to the event if they would actually let guys like me compete. Thanks though...

its a moot point, you need the stuff to race.
I wish I could take the 150+lbs of roll cage out of the car and didnt have to spend several thousand dollars and half a year it took to get my car (and myself) legal for 9.99 and quicker plus make it unstreetable in the process. But if you want to go run at bigger events thats what you have to do. Wish it was easier but it isnt.

You guys are funny. You have nothing to complain about. Do you know how hard it is to go thru a drive thru and get your McDonalds in past this damn funny car cage?

I am a whiner as well. It does suck as you cant "legally" race what most consider to be a fast streetcar. KP eventually went the smart route...he has a racecar and a seperate cruiser.
