I am proud to say that we've done work for some mighty fine dragsters and door cars both. Let's be happy for our brothers when a Ford door car wins, and when a Ford powered dragster wins. Like what Phillip Oakley did today at Atlanta.

Not fighting Charlie, just poking fun, sorry if I offended anyone, although

you should not be poking fun at them guys that drive fragsters

Nick,

Believe me, it is hard to do. We've been through this before and you will have guys say;

1. Stock suspension, 3300 lbs., no power adders, full stock interior, must have working headlights and taillights, must be licensed and driven in the gate.
2. Stock suspension, 3300 lbs., no power adders, max 10.5" tire.
3. Stock suspension, 3300 lbs., one power adder, max 10.5 tire.
4. Back halved, 3100 lbs., no power adder, max 10.5 tire, must have working headlights and tailights, must be licensed and driven in the gate.
5. Back halved, 3100 lbs., one power adder, any size slick, no wheelie bars.
6. Back halved, 3100 lbs., one power adder, any size slick, wheelie bars okay.
7. Tube chassis door cars okay, max 10.5 slick, no power adders, no wheelie bars.

The list goes on & on, but everybody requests a set of rules, that best meets the criteria of their car. So it is very hard to determine a set of heads up rules that makes everybody happy. The weight differences of all the various door cars is especially a "sticking point".

So for right now, if anybody wants to grudge race or match race against anybody else, I'm thinking the best thing to do is pair up, and get over in lane 5 and we run you through on Friday. As always, the final decision on this needs to be whatever Phillip says.

.400 heads up tree with an index.................5.80 works for me

Why not just do some index racing? Just see where majority of the cars run and make the classes. Then all can enter no matter what they race.
Some ideas...
4.50
5.0
6.0
7.0
8.0

But, but, but Jones you have to outdrive or out run somebody like that, you cant out money them!

It has taken an interesting turn, hasn't it?!!

Do you think this could be the reason Phillip only had 2 classes ?? Box and no-box ??
Sure saves HIM alot of aggravation doing it his way..

That's the type of racing I want to do.

ok, i didnt read all 11 pages, but why the 3000 pounds, where are the real rules?

If you go with the weight thing, does that mean my 4,600lb truck can run 4-link, 2 turbos, 4 kits and big rubber?

Me too Jones. I hate the bs of rules this, rules that, protesting b/c he aint legal, weight or tires are wrong, etc, etc it goes on and on ------till daylight quite often. This is one of the main reasons bracket racing came about, go run your car, get yr arse beat, load up and try again. 99.9% of the time when you get beat bracket or index racing, you beat yourself, not b/c someone was cheating or had more money in their equipment or because your car didnt meet the class rule limits.

I agree with your asessment of indexes and like Phillip does, lay the classes out there and say there it is folks, if you cant fit in one of these, you cant fit anywhere!

Sure you can, till you win a few, then you will have to take one turbo hose off, add 450#, add a gallon of water to the cooling system etc, etc

Put that water in the fuel tank.

put me in the heads up class buddy so i can spank yas azzes Im over 3300lbs small tire and every thing lol

the index thing would work... run it on a .400 tenths tree...make the classes where you get at least 8 cars in a category though... not much fun when only 3 cars turn out per class.

I agree, and it's simple.

goodevening sir ..... you better be putting that c-headed deal between those fenders ........ your on my hit list

As far as setting a set of rules. Do it like pinks. Have everyone lay down a qualifying pass and then Pick 16 or 32 cars that are real close and let them go for it. Pro tree.
Just an idea.
