Think Im just gonna spectate unless I get there and just feel the urge to sign up! lol Too many bills to pay and not enough money to drop 50 bones to lose and risk something happening to the car and it not being covered haha.

I was in the stands wondering what was up, did you win best breakage to offset the cost?

Heard someone was crying like a bitch this year about swap cars in the Muscle Car class. Seems like a trend to cry about cars faster than his in the NA class... The crybaby needs to stay home next year. Glad I didnt bother to get my swap car done this year.

Hmm who judged that one? I think fragging a tranny is a lot more catastrophic than breaking some wekds =/

I take that back. Mike with the fox mustang won the best breakage. it was between him and house. Both had trans issues. Mike lost all 3 gears in his auto.

But I thought house trans broke on the way to the event, did it even make a pass. Mike made a pass and made Quick 8 in real street car. Then it broke in eliminations.

Stroker motors are not a motor swap. Ls1 to Ls2, LS3, or LS7 are all the same block exterior dimensions so swapping those is really not like removing a 4cyl, V6 and swapping in a v8. I just think some people take a little fun race with just a little cash and get to worked up over stuff. Seemed like a certain red nova owner was venting on a lot of people too since things were not run like a NHRA event.

im a bridesmaid for a second year in a row this time in muscle car. had a lot of fun and i think the event is run great. next year ill have a full cage so ill let her loose on the nitrous. track was not the best prob the heats fault, but i couldnt turn better than a 1.6 60' and if i dont 60 well the auto cars will eat me up like what happend in the final. anyway couldnt have asked for much better considering it was the first pass on the new setup this weekend. and y did they boot the ls swapped fox but allow the swaped rx7 to run?

The RX7 was told to move classes as well but the swap issue was settled months ago. The RX7 stood his ground while unfortunitly the mustang moved classes even tho he should have stood his ground as well.

I was unaware that the RX7 was told to move classes. He should have. He qualified no better than 4th, because I was 3rd. He then starts to run low 10's in eliminations. I have a hard time believing he wasn't sandbagging.

Even if the guy in the RX7 moved to the class he belonged to, I wouldn't have won. The guy in the yellow Malibu running 10.6's would have probably won it, just so you know I'm not bitching cause I feel I should have won it.

I was talking about Wally (Red RX7). The RX7 you are talking about was already in Wild Street. The told Kris and Wally to move to Wild Street from Muscle Car even though it was settled a while back that they were fine in Muscle Car class.
