Very true.. Although Mike Brown had the field covered by a second until he had some trouble in the final round. True Street is a little more lenient on the tire sizes, which gives the Corvette guys some more options. Im sure there are a few Corvette guys who would like to run the TT5 type stuff at these events, but theyre pretty limited when theyre trying to find a 275 radial for 16 and 17" wheels. I personally dont see anything wrong with letting someone in an IRS Corvette run a 325 radial on a big wheel against someone on 275/60s with a solid axle.. Tell me who has the advantage there?
A C5 weighs about 500lbs less than a LS1 F-body from the factory. They have an advantage there. Should we take that advantage away by making the base weight for any class 3700LB? I don't think so.
Every platform has it's inherent flaws and advantages.
Sorry for the

Pretty good point.. If youve got the money for a competitive powerplant, chances are you can afford some rear brakes that will clean, lol.
Ive got one of those platforms where EVERYTHING is a disadvantage. LOL

Thanks for asking, let me know when you know.
and yes I bought the white roller from Joey, buying a new house and having a baby slowed down the project. but it will be complete come spring. all I need is drag brakes, front mount fuel cell, k member. couple other odds and ends...
and if all goes well, it will be Hugger Orange!

That car has some cool history, did Joey tell you. He's gonna be there, bringing the old man's '69.
If your question is whether you can skip quals and just run index on Sunday, I'm guessing you can but perhaps Robin or one of the Holley guys will chime in.

yeah he told me about it, I wish I had the kind of money to go the direction that was planned (big turbo car i'd say) but I dont. But I do have what I think is a pretty cool setup. Stroker with spray and a faceplated t56. I plan to post a "build thread" once I get going on the final assembly, car is mostly wired inside, minus the nitrous controller stuff(arm switch and gauge need put in)
but enough about that in this thread lol

so what happens if it rains friday and most of saturday? looks like the rain might be out by saturday afternoon, but still be raining where my stick shift race is, so I might just head towards bowling green about the time it stops raining there.
would things just get pushed back? or put off?
