Here are a couple....
One assembled and one bare so you can see everything.
It is no different from a TCI, Heidts or Chassisworks clip except for that it is round tube & not a 2x3 construction.

^^Thats a good looking car! If it doesnt qualify into "street" section you can run in unlimited! You can run regardless but if you want to compete for cash you gotta be in either street or unlimited! They both have same prizes!

Thanks!
It really is a true street driven and street built car.
Where would I get the yes/no on classification as I would want to confirm before committing to come race.

No front tubular chassis
No rear tubular chassis
No full tubular chassis
No Full Tub
Front windshield must be factory glass
Front driver and front passenger door windows must be factory glass or OEM equivalent.
Must be licensed & tabbed
Tires must be DOT approved(DOT drag radials are allowed)

Thanks man.
I only see two grey areas, my bolt in clip as it is round tube but 100% bolt in and my 275 pro drag radials which are DOT approved but say not for highway use?

Hey Darren,
With that front clip on there it moves the car up into the unlimited class. But that is only going to matter when it comes to the prizes. We won't be breaking up the races by class. So you will be able to race whoever you want throughout the day.

What kind of build you got going in there?

Even if it is a bolt on clip?
Is a Heidts or TCI legal if it is square tube?

Just a TT LS1 driver. Stock block, decent internals, untouched 317's. Something to run low 10's non intercooled.

If you are planning on only running low 10's on it then it looks crazy overbuilt, or you are the biggest sandbagger ever...

You will have fun in the unlimited class.

Nah, no unlimited for me.
It should be a fun event for you guys though.

It may get into the 9's, who knows. That's why I put the cage in instead of just a bar though.

Well like I said the classes are only there to break up prize money. I think you would have a great time coming out and running your car. I know I would be glad to line up against you. I have a feeling it will take an 8 sec pass to bring home the cash in the street car class and even faster in the unlimited.

I'm sure it will take that to win.
Too far for me to go not to be in the running for the cash.

The video makes it look like an 11 second car is competitive but I don't believe it. They have an N.A only class right?
