How in the world can you attract real street cars to compete when you allow crap like that to go on? There should be a 40 mile cross town cruiz first... then all cars come in from the drive... go straight to the staging lines, and have a 1 hour cooling period, then race them. That is a street car... in traffic... 100deg out side... light to light... then raced! JMHO

I agree... streetcar is streetable.... I plan to send an email to Texas Motorplex about this.... I suggest you fellas take the time and follow suit. The idea makes it a nice event.... they ruined it for the future in my opinion..... I wont care to go if the TT5 cars are going to win every year!
My father in law said that once one does it.... all the others will show up here forward!

The Mustang that went up against the PRO MOD is extremly streetable, we went and told them to go on a 20 mile ride with him and he will pull back in and run right down the track. But that Pro Mod would have no part of that for some reason, oh and the 8.90's flamed up blue Mustang also goes to Kennedale and runs in the Lincoln Tech Shootouts and I believe parachutes are not allowed on the streets. But hey again I could be wrong, I am not bitter I just appreciatte people following the guidelines of there class and not being made the exception just to line the track owners pockets.

the really sad thing about this whole deal is now nobody is gonna want to race this.. I have also sent a email to the motorplesx saying how wrong it is to let this kinda stuff happen and that there should be a cruise in track to prove the "streetability" of the car

They must of been the only ones you saw.
As far as the hole... I have a cut in the filter for the nitrous to spray directly to the TB. It is a clean and inconspiquous setup IMO.

They have antique vehicle plates on the car (25 years or older) that states they don't need an inspection sticker by Texas state law. Although, it does have just about everything to pass as legal. But, of course it isn't a "real" street car by any means. I'd rather see some type of cruise for this event as well.. a cruise will separate the real street cars from the others in a hurry, especially in the heat.

i like the idea of a 20 mile or so cruise, then you cant change anything when you get to the track. that would be a true STREET CAR event. how could we make this happen?
