BIG TIRE CLASS FOR THE BASH?

even if they put that tire on and took off the bars........there would just be another excuse..............

10.5 this, no bars that. Last year the 10.5 deal brought something like 4 cars. Thats fine if you like to be a big fish in a small pond, but if its an event your looking for IMHO ( and its just an opinion). There were dozens of other cars there that would have been fun to see run off in a heads up pro tree style format. Run a hat race style deal with a $200 buy in. Run 2 rounds of qualifying, 16 car field, ladder them and run them off. A 16 car field would yield a $3200 payout, split it between the winner(70%), and R/U (30%) so it would be $2200 to win, $1000 R/U. The rules would be simple Door cars ru whatcha brung. That class would be self funding, fun to watch, and be a REAL race, not 4 cars that have tire envy. The reality is that there are guys going 6s on a Drag Radial now so this whole I cant hang because you have a bigger set of shoes non sense is just that, non sense, and to ask someone to travel there, make a ton of changes to their car, all for 1 event is absurd. Last year I was really hoping to have something down there to compete in other than Bracket Racing, but there wasnt so I just did experimented with some tuneups and bracket raced the next day. I had a good time and we're coming back this year. Last year I went down the track with tons of cars that had my little iron headed 460 inch deal outclassed and was able to hold my own. Thats the beauty of racing verses comparing dyno sheets, once the tree comes down anything can happen. Nick (I may be wrong) I believe you went 5.6s, and I went 5.7s last year, and even though you have me by over 100ci, better heads, a glide, yadda, yadda, yadda, I would have been more than happy to line my junk dinosaur up with you, and would feel pretty good about my chances of getting the stripe. Sorry about the rant, but to have a class for a minority of the people who take the time out of their schedules to make the event is silly to me.

Ya don't hurt front end parts with bars on

You only hurt front end parts if you lift... Without bars I just hurt back bumpers, Bumpers are cheaper than oil pans. A split second after the picture in my avatar was taken I was on the bumper for another 200 feet, I just short shifted second and let it set down nice NP.

I know. It would just be nice to have something to compete in down there rather than just do tnt, and exhibition type stuff. I know all of us up here are missing our normal money races up north to come down there and have fun.

Crying done. Act like you want trouble...

The spirit of the bash aint about tire size, wheelie bars, blah blah blah..................


Nick likes to get on here and talk a lot of smack like some n/t grudge racer 10.5 baller............which he aint.......... cuz if he was he would be out there racing like Larry T and a lot of the others that dont talk any shit.

He would rather be a career test n tuner and a one race wonder................

Hmmmmmm.

There is actual racing, (with pay-outs), in brackets on Saturday however, any "match race" you can muster-up is run at ANY time; Friday or Saturday.

Are Wes and George gonna go at it again this year...?

I completely agree with Barney here. I would MUCH rather put my balls in a vice and give my mother in law a pipe to tighten the handle with than bracket race. It seems to most of us bracket race because of other limitations,usually time and money, that prevent us from actually RACING.

In the best interests of the event, we all need to do what we can to entice participation. I like the self funded index deal myself. If that deal happens, we will race that.

There is and has always been racing on sat. .........friday is the testing, tuning and/or exhibitionist day and it is fun
All of this calling people out via the key board is more or less bullcrap and is a distraction that is pretty much running the event into the ground. I know for a fact.....after reading the TYPED bravado...I've had people wonder if it was safe to bring to wife and kids to the event
The facts of the matter are that the key board bad azzs seem to blend in with the crowd at the race.......imagine that

you guys name the class ....lets get it done !!!! and stop you crying [/quote]I think something like this would be a nice addition to the standard program. Run off in a heads up pro tree style format. Run a hat race style deal with a $200 buy in. Run 2 rounds of qualifying, 16 car field, ladder them and run them off. A 16 car field would yield a $3200 payout, split it between the winner(70%), and R/U (30%) so it would be $2200 to win, $1000 R/U. The rules would be simple Door cars run whatcha brung.

By this Im assuming you mean me(maybe I'm wrong). It was not my intent to shed any dark light on the event at all. I was just voicing my opinion regarding the thread title and razzing Bruno a bit. I was also responding to Charlie for Rich since his computer is having problems. I didnt realize that made me a "keyboard bad azz". When some hualers roll in outfitted like a scene out of Mad Max everyone will know the "keyboard bad azzs" have arrived. I guess its best to keep opinions to yourself.

Well you assumed wrong.

One big love fest here......
