RE: To End The B.S.
Yeah, a lot of times when you rent a track then they really dont care about the rules. Like the one that Joe and V rented in Ga. You could race with people in the car with you for all they care. LOL
So when is this going to be? Is it going to be "run what you brung"? Thats the only way to see who is the fastest. Cant really restrict those to others limits, or there is no real telling who's fastest. I plan on having the solid axle in pretty soon and hopefully I can get my hands on a ECTED carrier. The Methanol will go in and tuned soon also.
My only problem is I just have to get into my new job and see what kind of days I can get off.

I think it should be open to anyone that wants to attend. Like he said, any of us could mess up at the line. What do we all say about a fast car? It isnt fast unless the driver knows what he's doing?

Gateway is my home track (was just there two days ago) so if this goes down I'll definitely be there...as a spectator, of course.
Mid-13's just aint gonna do it.
With respect to NHRA Rules enforcement, it's pretty spotty around here. One buddy of mine went 11.17 on the bottle with no cage, but another was booted for running a low 13 in a vert with no rollbar. I've been told by guys who've rented the track, however, that they don't really give a crap about the rules when you rent it, and it looks like that is the only way to pull this off. Even on Street Car Shootout nights they don't really let you pick who you line up against. I heard that one guy in a Vega went low 9's with no helmet and a cigarette hanging out of his mouth on a rental day.[sm=smiley36.gif]
If you guys want, I can try to get info about track rentals. I know it isn't cheap, so the more racers to chip in the better.

As for when, I was thinking in the fall like late sept-early oct. That way we have better air, and the track is more likley to hook better. Over a weekend should give everybody plenty of time, I can go as far as 8-10 hours from home no problem
