Sorry, didn't recognize the camaro only going 70. Thought I would be with you all the way to Dayton, but I jumped off the highway when the traffic stopped as I know the side roads in Cincy. Don't like being stopped on highways, and it happened to me going down there Thursday. Hopefully will meet again,....Going 120 down a track.

Hopefully we will! I went over and found your car after our runs together but I didn't see you. I plan on doing some upgrades this winter so next year should be interesting!

I know how you guys feel. Granted there weren't a lot of V6 cars racing but if I'd have know my little 6 banger with cold air and magna flows was gonna have to race a V6 with nitrous, I probly would have chose to run bracket day instead of heads up day ;-(

Granted, I'm a V6 with nitrous, but I understand your pain. It's not fair to have a car like your go up against a car like mine. That's how it was last year. I had a CAI and I was going up against a supercharged car. There's just not enough V6 cars to make a N/A class and a FI class

I would say, have a Dyno at next one, doesn't need to be free (maybe at a discount), most people wants to dyno their car anyways, even the show and shine ones. This way would be more evenly matched, V6 Nitrous or Turbo could run with a V8, and the 25HP gap would be a judgment call, say you made 385HP but have drag tires, you would go to the upper HP class and so forth.

Then do HP Classes.
300-375
400-475
500-575
600+

So I am confused... Exactly when was M6 street tire class run? I missed it again this year. I was led to believe all classes were going to be run on sat. Never heard a call for M6 street tire. This is why I asked for a specific schedule ahead of time. Never got a specific answer for M6 street tire.

I was the only one left when I heard the announcement (barely) after 4 pm, actually The Green Joker driver who run me down and tell about it (he was there by the PA system, and I was asking about pretty much the whole day) Especially after they put against Mike blue camaro, 13.4 sec car vs 11's sec car. By then everyone who lost, left the pit lanes, some confusion about it for sure, no one know exactly what was going on.

So did you run? Did you get a bye? I hope you got a trophy, you were even more adamant about asking than I was. I would have stayed had I known that they were gonna run that class later. No one ever directly answered my question about that class and nothing was on any schedule about it either. What a shame.

While we are at it, when was ZL1 unlimited class run?

Nah I didn't run, I would feel silly running by myself.

ZL1 was same time as the M6 Street Tires, at least they had 3 or 4 left to run it.

Yeah I never heard them call for the NC class. Sure wish I could have heard better, the radio station they had didn't make it past 50' from the tower, if that... But I had fun and got to run down the strip on Friday about 5 times.

A lot of that going around, yeah don't know the deal with the radio station, I got static way before I hit the 1/4 mile mark .
Friday I run down 22 times and Sat 18 times

robbiegordon · 08-10-2015, 05:09 PM

Are they posting any results for the drags ?

Bad70supreme · 08-10-2015, 07:00 PM

Not sure about the rest but I took 2nd in modified. No by runs, put in some work to get to the finals. Brandon with the green Joker car took first. We had a great race, 11.7 to a 11.4.. I took him on the tree and he pulled a car on me by the stripe. Was a great race and finish!! Total blast of a time!

The only work you put against me was to concentrate not to burn the line.

Well here it is.

Bad70supreme · 08-10-2015, 07:42 PM

My first race was very unfair. The rest took a bit of work, my car was loosing traction all weekend. Was hard to keep it together out of the hole, I spun hard 2 of the runs and had to back off and recover. No idea what was happening in the next lane but I kept winning

.. can't wait for fall, my car was on kill mode in the heat.
