CCC Pro Class?
im not sure about the whole beginner and advanced class. i have never raced CCC but was planning on it this year, but i have won an NHRA national open, runnered up 3 times and finished top 8 at the nightfire nationals in Boise. It was a good year (first year racing). Just asking if i would be considered a beginner or not?

Dot tires are not hard to do when you have a second set of rims...
I am just messing with you guys I have no motivation to race CCC, I have the attention span of a gnat so I will probly be racing something completely different after this year. I am thinking about selling the camaro and buying a roadster to go s/gas racing.

You know Arron you can never retire for the sport it's in our blood. I will be out this year running Pro bracket at Pacific and maybe a few Car Club races. I'm not sure how I'll do after taking a few years off but it should come back with seat time.

I think the rules are fine the way they are. It's the easiest venue for a beginner already. Someone that can cut a nice tree, or at least a consistent tree can beat anyone of us that race in the CCC. Some of them slow cars are in reality better bracket racers than some of our cars that have potential to run much quicker. My Z06 is a terrible bracket car, very hard to run same back to back runs, but that's what makes if fun on the other hand. My Dodge was running .004 consistent runs all the time, but so boring i wanted to hang myself.
So to me, either way is fine? If it gets more racers involved, that is a giant consideration, IMO.

Next CCC Meeting is the 25th at Jitters in Bellevue 3:00. It could be voted on at the February meeting if someone makes a formal motion before the January meeting.

But a super charger is there all the time at whatever boost level the pulleys are setup for. I could change pulleys to slow it down. But what's the point of building a 9 sec car to go run 10s? Or I could take the blower off & run 11s. But again, what's the point?
If those end up as my choices I'll probably just race the wifes car in CCC and run the TA a few times at TnT or in Pro Brackets & take it to car shows.
didn't we make this a formal motion back in november (or whenever the last meeting was)?
For sure that is one of the main advantages of nitrous Robert. And you can dial down the boost on turbos.
