What does that mean? I can only pretty much run for fun anyway with my work schedule and all. No TNT? If not I guess I better invest in a trailer and haul my *** to monroe to have some fun

There should be more info coming real soon, but index classes is alot like old school heads up racing. To win you need to cut a light and run close to the index without going under. We don't know what the classes will be yet, but most tracks will start with around five classes ( 1/8 mile 5.80, 6.20, 6.60, 7.00, & 7.50 - 1/4 mile 10.50, 11.00, 11.50, 12.00, 12.50 ). Understand I have no idea what they have planned, I am just giving you an example of index. We don't know what tree they will use, we don't know if they will run 1/8 or 1/4 mile. I'm sure they will have TNT, I hope so.

thats true, not many people would understand it though.
hey wayne, what kind of tree have we been running, where you get 3 sequential yellows then green? i watch the pros and their three yellow lights light up all at once then green.

A full tree is three yellows and then green and is the tree used in bracket racing and some class racing. A pro tree is really one yellow then green they just light all of the yellows at once. Two types of pro trees a 400 and a 500. The one you mostly see is a 400 pro tree. The 500 pro tree is mostly seen in the slower index stuff say 7.50 1/8 mile or 12.00 1/4 mile and slower. Index stuff is ok but really don't like say a 10 flat index car using a trans brake and throttle stop stuff to run a 12 flat index. If you really get serious about pro tree index racing you will most likely use a different suspension setup which most of the time will slow your et down to get reaction times down. If Red river runs index classes most likely they will have to run together like we did at LSX shootout. Which is a 11 flat car running a 12 flat car on a delayed tree just like bracket racing but on a pro tree.

Is it expensive? Is it something I can just show up and do like TNT? I cant devote any weekends due to the suck *** hours I work. I dont want to sign up for anything and hardly ever make it. Wont they be harder on tech inspection for events like that? I should cut a really high 11sec pass next time out, and I am not ready to buy any kind off cage or bar.

Normally its a $25 buy in or $40 depending on the purse and they will usually do a $10 buy back in the 1st and/or 2nd rounds. You would like it Chris and you have the chance of making a lil cash at the end of the night also. I used to run it alot on my bike and had it dialed in pretty good. If you sleep at the light or spin I always had the option of using a lil extra gas to make it up.

Fighting out of the right corner, wearing no AC and lots of deleted amenities, Mr. Six Speed, the king of broken parts.....And to my left, the reigning champion, the crowd favorite, wearing DRs in full street trim, Mr Stalled Auto. Ladies and gentlemen, the referee in charge of the fight Mr. Big Johnson, has just informed me that Mr. Six Speed can't pass a physical, so there will be no dethroning of your champion tonight. The auto keeps the heavyweight belt.

Clean the fighting surface, line up the contender's, light the tree. It will not be long for the fight's to start. Who will be the champ, take the gloves off and go bare-knuckle.

who cares if i've deleted **** outta my car? its my car, i'll do what I please. should make it closer if u ask me since we all know my car is heavier to start with. but, a win is a win, and right now its 2-0. with the 6spd still the champ. if u want to race something that's closer to you're weight, you should be racing nitrobusa, or josh.
