Re: (local) Import vs Domestic race
this sounds like a good idea for you guys that talk shit on here but imports and domestics are so different its really hard to put them in a class. imports are top end domestics low end so there has to be a equal meeting.lol but what do i know going straight is cool but so is turning left and right so if i cant get you on the top end i will catch you in the corners
that is when i put my shit box back together..........just my 2 cents

Re: (local) Import vs Domestic race
Before I get my hopes up about this race again, please answer this question for me....
Does my car LOOK too much like a racecar for this race? I don't want to show up and get booted for that!
FYI... It got driven 7k miles between March and November this year (down for a TH400 last winter and down for a rear this winter) to work, church, dinner, etc. (even in the rain occasionally)....

WOW, this thread has gotten overwhelming!
Almost 200 posts when I left for work at 2:00 YESTERDAY EVENING, and now 569??? THATS some posting for your ass right there!
No way Im gonna go back and read all of that, just wanna know if the rules are finalized, as far as fuel and tires are concerned.

Re: (local) Import vs Domestic race
I think we forgot the original purpose again.... The idea was to get all those guys you see on the streets regularly, the ones you want to run while you're running to the mall, to work, walmart, etc.... together and have a shootout, just as they are on the street... Most of the time while I'm out, i can't run because I've got my wife and 10 month old in the car with me.... Or it's my wife behind the wheel....
but whatever.... I'll check back when the date gets closer and see what this has turned into... maybe I'll still run, but it's looking pretty bleak right about now....

Re: (local) Import vs Domestic race
believe me, i REALLY appreciate what you are trying to do here Mike.
-if the race gets off the ground at all with the tight and cloudy format I'm pretty fearful of a low low turnout.
Ive been IN races with low turnouts from stuff like this, and also been excluded. both not super fun.
It may change how much your actual company backs the event but I think to get people to participate and also importantly to watch ( i do better with an audience ), something here will have to give.
I mean, Fatboyee tried to do this with pretty wide open rules and it was not a big showing (sorry bro).
thats why i'm sayin lets have the race, not worry about who has what.
we can all pit in a group together ( i think this is important ) and just go race. people will see how all of the cars are built vs. how they perform; i think in a nutshell that is the idea.
wherever we go, whatever we do... I want to bet $50 per pass me vs. anyone else that drives there. ie drive from wherever you live, to wherever we race. that sounds exciting!

X2! I give up trying to Import guys. Everyone is very adamant on running slicks for FWD's understandably.
