New class proposal for 2011 ltxshootout
typically can respond nearly instantly assuming nothing else is going on.
I towed my vette on a 18' open (featherlite alum) with 4 race wheels/tires in the bed and a passenger to/from Knoxville, Tn to BG, Ky with a 99 GMC Sonoma ext cab with the 4.3 six banger/auto trans. I also made the trip from Knoxville to Atlanta with the same setup. Trailer brakes and a good controller were needed but I had no issues at all. Even averaged 16mpg. You'll be fine.
One thing that would speed this up is if we tech these cars the night before at the hotel. It wouldn't have to be more than a visual inspection and maybe a vacuum check on random cars. I wouldn't mind doing it.
maybe we can tech in most of the cars in that class the night before. I like the idea.

PS I think this class is a good idea. Most of the LTX crowd is on a budget and many shy away from large events like this because someone always has a bigger budget and it sucks the fun out of it. This at least makes the field competitive if you've got a properly setup bolt on car. No big money on valvetrains, fuel systems, power adders, etc. It would give the Mrs. a class to run the DD car in...hmm

that should still keep it fair right???
I'm in and agree with above statement, but would like weight at 3400lbs. NO power adders of any kind, and on 93 octane only( no E85 or race gas). Would also like a tire and or wheel size limit.
