yeah hinson cut his arm open bad, so they had to put a different driver in the car. The reaction time of the new driver was horrible and lost all because of the reaction time. his time was about .25 better than the other car and almost reeling him in up top.

He ran a faster time, but didn't cross the line first... Oh well.

no need to cry over spilled milk, I mean it wasnt like you didnt shut your car off during the drive to the track along with at least 10 other cars and your car was pushed up to the line when it was suppose to be driven under its own power at all times and you were given all that extra time to report to the line! btw congrats on the 8 second pass but UD LUZE

Who else was 60 footing good on the drag radials? ATVRacers car was close for the best 60 ft until the RX7 cut a 1.299 on the MTs, we had been putting down consistant 1.32-1.33s.
We brought a knife to a gunfight though, 3700 lbs and no horsepower means Wayne had to Lumberjack some guys!

Still a good showing. Big props.

Hot rods "street car" term is loose to say the least but never the less it was an awsome event and I will ost some pics of the mazda cuz it was definately put together very nicely.
Thats cool man, I wasn't there but know the Mazda well, saw it a couple times and whatnot. The mazda did drive around some, and is should be called the most streetable, not street car, because I don't think any of the cars could be driven around really.

WOW . Thats a street car. Your right they need to change the name but again TN streetcars are racecars. It was a nice track and all the poeple there were cool .THE ROOSTER is a funny guy. Cudo's to those that ran you guys do have some very fast cars period hands down. To HOTROD I must say long live the buddy system.

I agree, but that RX-7 is a much faster car, whether or not dude was sleeping! Hot-Rod is calling the shots, and they all met the inspection. It is hard to define a street car, because everybody has there own opinions.

Thats why HOTROD let everyone back in the event but it scews the honest guy how came with a honest car to run in what was the thought to be honest by the rules . I hope next year they work a better game plan.
I am just disappointed with HOTROD for my 1000 plus miles traveled and to be honest if this is how they do there events well enough said.

I just think consistency makes a good street car and Wayne has one. If you bring your car to a event and you don't meet the rules or are disqualified do to your car not being what it's supposed to be then you should be eliminated not voted back in . If a certain racers who's camp was going by the rules didn't push the issue with HOTROD that vote would of never took place and alot of other cars would of been out as well. I keep hearing about it was a gentlmens race well it takes a gentlmen to bow out because he did not meet the rules that were set before hand. Christ if that was the case alot of us would not wasted alot of the day at tech all those cars could of been driven/trailered to the track not that long drive across town. Yes there were fast cars there no question !!!! and on defination yes but HOTROD had there opinion of a street car but changed it when the RACECARS started breaking down in STREETCAR conditions. The MAZDA was fast no question but in a race you have to have loser and the MAZDA was one. Bigger question if all those cars that BROKE the rules were not racing would it have been a better event and I think thats what came in to play.
Thats why HOTROD let everyone back in the event but it scews the honest guy how came with a honest car to run in what was the thought to be honest by the rules . I hope next year they work a better game plan.

your mazda friend for was one of the many who violated some of the rules such as the car was suppose to be under its own power AT ALL TIMES and that includes pulling up to the staging lanes and he also voilated the the rule that you werent allowed to shut your car off or work on it during the drive from comp cam to the track(30-40 mile drive in traffic) along with many of the other cars but no-one is complaining now nor did complain then because it was suppose to be a "gentlemans race".

from what I hear hotrod is going to be braking up next years event in classes but who knows? Also the 1000 miles traveled was more like 1800(930 each way)
