Default 1/8 Mile 7 SEC. Cars Call Out DFW

Every time I'm on here I see someone talking about how fast their daily driver is . There is a 7.0 class every other week at a track in the DFW Area. I see maybe 1 LS base car at the races, why not put these so call fast cars(daily driver) on the clock and see what you got. 7.0 race this Saturday 06/04 at Redline Race Track.

Rules: Street car stock suspension (QA1's allowed)
Slicks up to 28/10.5S NO (W) Drag Radial P275/60
Can not break out faster than 7.00 seconds NO buy back if so
Buy back only for 1st round put out without breaking out
No transbrake or electric. throttle stop cars
.500 Protree
$50 Membership Fee good for one racing season (Sticker For Car Includes Car Number)
$50 To race $100 Buy Back
1st: $1000 2nd: $300-$500 Depends on car count
3rd-5th if more than 20 car show (usually 14-18 cars show up)

Anyone Interested If So
PM me or call Lorenzo 214-228-9637 leave a number.

7.0 is safe for stock autos and stock rear ends... maybe not so much for manuals. Stock bottom end.. maybe not heads.. etc etc..

7.0 is perfect budget for DD/budget class.

I would put a weight restriction.. no race weight under xxxx... I would say for DD/budget no race weight under 3200. to get under that it takes money or a gutted car.

Redline is far. And it has a hump at the end of the track.

it's not so much as needing a fast car but just making sure you can be consistent with your car.

7.0 class?!?! My H/C car ran that with A/C and full interior. Perhaps a 6.50 class?

Most of these car have full interior and A/C. This a race that's goes on every other weekend at a different track, since last year. Get your $50 membership and $50 buy in money together and come to the track with those fast cars. I know a lot of guys with 6.80s cars but if your late on the tree, home you go by a 7.00 car. Seen it happen often!

Dont get me wrong, But the 7.0 class is fun. But I think a 6.0 class is much more fun.

It is a class already for faster cars 6.20,6.00 & 5.80, its called the triple threat. Each week its a different time. Get with Gaylan Smith over at Lenmar Motorsports for more Info or Bud Morgan (Morgan & Son), his wife I believe is over that class.

Its about having fun and winning some money... I know I can run the number coming out on Idle. I'll be at Denton Saturday running the 6.6 index there. I would run the 6.2 index but I'm not going to try to push it with out a cage in the car yet.

Sorry, but your misinformed. Have you watched Top Dragster and Top Sportsman at NHRA and IHRA national and divisional events? Bracket cars that are faster than NHRA Pro Stockers and some T/D's that are almost as fast as a TAD!

7.0 class was meant for working man class on a budget. That's where most of us fit into. At least I do, maybe some of you guys either have the knowledge or money to have a 5.8 or 6.0 car.
