Default drag radial at centerville!

I wish we could work out a drag radial class at c-ville for next year stock type suspension 1 power adder anybody agree? seems several cars & trucks run them lately might be fun to have another class to gripe about!

I like that idea... on a 275/60. Donnie Davidson has already been 5.5 or 5.6s on them but I still think it would be fun!

yes i`ve had my share of run in`s with the luv but it`s not unbeatable might be tough! but fun to try I don`t mind getting by someone that`s cool, On the tires i think it should be 10in and down radials to allow more to run don`t get to strict with rules but set some and stick to them! then everyone would no what`s up maybe if wayne won`t do it we all could just meet in the lanes and do what we want! you know make it up as we go!!!!! HAHA

I really like running on the 275/60's. it looks funny, but like frank said he has gone mid 5's. I think he was talking about going turbo or s/c this year. He is only spraying like 175-225 on a speedteck plate. but it dont weigh nothing eather. he always runs in that quickstreet at redriver(when they had it)

ya same as hot street. basically. chips car run some 40's at mmp a few weeks ago, clay was about the same. Clay has actually gone some 5.0's on a 295/65. But the smaller tire at mmp, the class might be alitte slower, buy not likely. there is a guy on here, dave bowman, that went 7.80's in the 1/4 on a 275/60.

I know it could be a tuff class but that`s what keep`s us all trying to do better,I know what your sayin but those guys go where money is they are fast but that`s ok they won`t be there every weekend so what if they want to come i like fast cars no matter what brand car or truck ok, by the way why do we keep talking about 275`s none of run them,I don`t like that rule idea no offense! anyway

well im talking about the 275's because thats what the class at mmp is running next year. TRue street/quick street at shreveprort max size. Thats the only reason, and stating that it dont have to be a big d/r to be fast. c ville dont care.

well i was not aware of other track classes But i`ve raced at c-ville and other tracks for several years and have learned down there just keep it simple simple drag radial only,Also you can probaly go as fast on the 275`s as any tire? I just thought maybe we figure something out get a plan together for driver`s meeting.

Well one thing about running 275s is that it will help keep some of the really fast guys away, possibly. Also a 275/60 is a pretty small tire which will help equalize the class a little bit more.

how about same rules as HOT STREET....or just DR'S only(any size),no other rules..

The slower hot street cars can get in or the faster efi cars can move up !!!
This class will avg 5.40-6.20....sounds fun..

I found my rule sheet from the shootout. dr is the same as hotstreet now, any poweradder, no wheelie bars(those are for bracket racers anyway) any size radial. SO basically if it pays any money they will be there.

How about 2 power adder's that are the same size?? Would that count as 1 power adder. I am going to come up there next year to see shane and do some racing also!

I like the idea of stock suspension 1 power adder on dr's. Make it happen! I probably will not have anything to race this year but I would definately like to watch this class.
