Any interest on a 275 heads up class?

As in a radial tire only, or can a 10.5 car play? I'd love to do some heads up stuff this summer but there's just no way my car would do worth a crap with a radial tire. I'm sure Corey Thompson would be interested, turbo'd 67 Nova, and maybe Ron with the 70ish turbo'd Nova, and Steven Ellet, he has a 95ish turbo'd Camaro. There seems to be a common theme there lol...
There's the Streetcar Syndicate group that has some meets going on this summer. Robert can probably point you in that direction as he's involved in it.

10.5 would be fine. Whatever we have to do to have a heads up class. Maybe some limits on ETs like 5.30 or 8.50s to keep it fun.
Just want to start a class,make some friends, have some fun.
We could even have a side pot. Nothing crazy but maybe enough to to pay for a set of tires.
If we get enough interest and it grows, I am sure we could come up with some local sponsorships.
This is how Texas True Ten 5 got started years ago.
A 10.5 non w tire for stick cars should fine But we need to have some restrictions to give everyone a chance.
Looks like my cage is getting certified tonight so I will be out tomorrow to renew my license.
Got the car aligned today.
Last year running this setup. Going to twin 6266s over the winter.

As Mike mentioned Streetcar Syndicate has a small series we run that includes bracket, heads up ("list"), and autocross. We don't really have a tire rule exactly, just that the tire has to fit in the stock wheel house and be DOT approved. You can find info at www.streetcarsyndicate.com . Under the "files" tab you will find the rules, our schedule, and the way our overall points system works. Not sure if any of this interests you, but we'd love to have you join us.

Street car syndicate is fun, but whats posted here isn't a good fit for what they are doing as each main race is a bracket race plus the required drive.
Big advantage with a 10.5 tire versus 275DR at PIR, so that could cause some issues with people, but certainly nice to have some flexibility.
What we did at the West Coast Shootout last month was nice on a well prepped track, and back in our HeadsUpNW days, PIR tried to keep the track prepped for us, but thats gone completly by the way side and it's a little dicey now.
That said, I'd come play regardless just because it's much better than time only testing. It would be in my Chevelle though.
I'll keep an eye on this post for sure.

I think trying to round up a bunch of guys for a heads up 275 class would be awesome. I'd like to participate at some point in the future for sure.
Any of you with a street able car be sure to check out Streetcarsyndicate.com . If you're race car doesn't fit the rules no worries, RUN The daily driver! Our events even the playing field and make things very interesting. Better yet make your racecar a streetcar!

And I personally don't know of any stick cars running in the 8's. My car won't be competitive in this HU stuff anyway, but it would sure be fun to try some heads up on a pro-tree. Trending Topics

10.5 for sticks should not be a problem. (Just don't sneak a W in there)
With no prep racing becoming so popular, PIR could take advantage of this. I mean, they have been doing it for years.
I am kidding since I know the limitations PIR has due to the road course. But with all the buzz around drag racing lately, a heads up series could be a money maker.
I want to look into the street car syndicate but I do not have a FB account and refuse to get one.
I will be the last hold out!

We are working on a full website this winter as the facebook thing has been a major hold up for many potential racers. If I was you I'd make an account that's not tied to any personal information just to access all of the great car groups online. 95% of my Facebook usage is car related. I've sold more parts and bought more parts on Facebook than Craigslist.
When next year's schedule is decided I'll be sure to post it . Getting involved is as simple as showing up.
