Re: (local) Import vs Domestic race
If the cars ready by the date thats decided Ill go for shits. Ill know better if the car will be done by then here in a week or so.
Probably be the only guy there on all seasons too.
I do think the FWD guys should be allowed slicks though...assuming the rest of the car meets the requirements. 99% of street races out there are from a roll anyway.

Re: (local) Import vs Domestic race
if they want to make it intresting it should be like this....
same rules as the normal IMPORT vs DOMESTICS, but we can modify the rules a little.
radials for the poostangs or whatever
slicks for the imports as long as the car is driven through the gates, and doesnt hurt anyone of the dumbmestic guys vaginas about being a street car, because i know damn well the people id tell about this race will trailer there cars because no one wants to drive there stiff suspension race car 100 miles to a track for it to potentially break and pay to get it towed home when they own trucks and trailers for that exact reason....
let the mustang guys determine if not having back seats in a honda is to scary for them..... and shawn can come race his grudge match, because defined by the rules of sanctioned events his car is a STREET CAR, so if his car is, then anything sub par shouldnt be scaring these parking lot badasses that we know of yall as the mustang guys. <3
just saying.....

Re: (local) Import vs Domestic race
Thanks, i am trying to make it fun but cant seem to come to a set of rules
Ok, so what if slicks were allowed to everyone. how would you guys feel if over half the domestics went in the 8s and low 9s. and the rest in the high 9's and low 10s. Is that going to be much of a race? or would you rather have something somewhat close and let the tire be the deciding factor on who gets down the track. The only car i can think of that would run those numbers is Rameys.
Is it safe to say that the import guys will only race if there are rules that give them a advantage? Jason Miller said that years ago and i was hoping he was wrong. guess he was not. Bottom line is, this is for street cars only. I cant count how many times i heard guys at bells rd, basspro, and a tone of other places talking about how fast there honda's are, domestics aint shit, blah blah blah blah. If that is the case then step up people!!!!! If you guys want to do a balls out run what ya brung trailer queens then lets do it. You import guys run what ever you want for tire and anything else you want. i will even give the winner a decent pay out, but i will have at least 7-8 domestics that run in the mid 7s on radials waiting for you that look the part of a street car. Is that what you guys want?
I would much rather it be just everyday cars on both sides, Ramey, You have the fastest honda i have seen in this area by far. but your in a different class then we are in that aspect. Take it as a compliment. your car just is not the idea of a street car most of the guys are looking for. You want a no rules race, i will give you one at this event. but the times wont count from either car. Thats the best i can do

DIGs. now myself my friends, and shawn and his friends who would be intrested in this for sure i know of and will speak for, are not scared to run from a dig on a slick. with you guys on radials. thus making it FAIR.
RWD high hp fat tires vs high hp fwd imports on little tires from a stop........
REALLY. REALLY. dont say making it unfair by adding a tire with no tread on it and a little wider. but still smaller than yalls radials.....
i mean if it scares you guys to much then i understand, but still they are only hondas.... right?
like i said, i have been a fan of drag racing for YEARS, and like i said, i have no real hate for domestics, i joke with you fuckers because i love doing it, you all have cars worth talking about, and ask anyone who knows me, i dont do that whole domestics suck talk. i love anything that goes fast. yalls grudge came from the wrong type of owners of high hp imports. thats not my fault but if you gonna make a grudge match about it so you can talk shit afterwards id at least make it intresting.......
plus you guys have what 3 heavy hitters who break 9's easily and many 10 sec cars, we have one major heavy hitter who is always in the 9's and a very few low 10 sec cars.....
yall sound scared.....

Re: (local) Import vs Domestic race
rameys car on a slick runs what mightymouse does on a radial. sounds like it should be an import on slicks vs domestics on radials. my car trapped 138mph and only ran a 10.66, thats a mid 9 for a rwd car, and mine was on slicks. i just think it should be a "fair" race, its not giving a fwd car an "advantage" to give them a slick when you can pull better 60ft and 330ft times on a radial then most fwds on a slick. this whole race setup is a joke to me.

Re: (local) Import vs Domestic race
Without taking the time to quote every post....
Nagger, Much love
I want everyone to run, i dont give a shit about it being fair. You FWD guys made that choice when you built the cars. just as we made the choice of having fat pigs. Its the way it is. im tired of arguing about it. The street car rules are simple, drive it, run it the way you drive it. there done unless someone has something constructive to add without bitching about it. Want to make a set of race rules, those are simple to, pay your entry fee at the gate, run whatever tire you want. Simple set of rules!! but i dont want to here no dam bitching about the cars you imports will be racing against!
Lets make a new list for that.
Me.. 98 cobra-440inch sbf- supercharged auto
Someone said not to be scared of mm, Yeh you better be scared, The man took out richmonds honda hero in a SUV.HAHA!!!!!! (Much love marcus) Sure his car runs in the 8s on 17s. Thats a fast ass street car, the fastest one i know of anywere around here. Its not my fault you boys cant run those numbers even on slicks. My car just went a 9.69@156.9 on a 275/40/17 with a 6 speed 1.94 60ft, 1 hour after i drove it to Zmax in NC on a 102deg day. What you think its going to run on a 275/60/15 with maybe 150+ more horsepower than what it did then?!?! ( if it dont break)
Yes you import guys have your work cut out for you, i understand if you dont want to get your feelings hurt. But with all the shit talking from both sides, it needs to be settled. Im begging someone to get off the bench with a import and shut me up! Im willing to give 500 out my pocket to someone that can. Your race car races mine, or your real street car races mine. take your pick!
And before anyone says any shit about it. by the hotrod tour that takes place every year. My race car by there rules is 100% legal to race in it. also the same rules marcus wanted, Glass, tags, lights, your good to go!
Edit.. Nagger, this post was not intended toward you. just in general for everyone.
