real street ruel makers

[jay87stang]

just my opinion witch doesn't count for much. you have a great format, 275 radials, single spray bar, small turbos . but your class is limited on engine combos. you want to limit cars before you even know what they run . I'm just finishing my motor,sbf its a nice piece i will run stock suspension with it . see i have a set of Yates heads so i will be using those in stead of buying a set of 10 15 or 18 degree heads, witch i do not have the spare cash four. Guy's you have limited the class with tires and nitrous plate ,jet restrictions. trough weight on me but don't take my car and others like me out of your line up . sure i can run the radial tire class, but like all of you i cant compete there i can race there but i cant out money them. i have a 87 mustang run it for 8 years run in the 6.50 class last year had alot of fun. but i will hopefully run the radial tire class in September heads up madness not asking you to to change the rules for me just look at opening them up in 2010 for alot of cars don't limit us till you know what we run just another opinion

Thanks for you thoughts. You can run that head it just has to be N/A. Here lies the problems. We already have inline heads going 5.20's and many .30's. The capabilities of a worked Yates, Blue Thunder, etc... Far exceeds a inline valve head, so the potential to go much faster is evident. We are working to tame the ET's down not speed them up.

This is what turned the Stock suspension drag radial class into what it is today. The rules kept changing to the point that the current DR class is basically an open outlaw DR class.

You find a class you want to compete in and build according to the rules. Don't change the rules to suit what you have. Racing cost mony, period. There are lots of heads for every engine made, but.......... All your major organizations adhear to a set of rules and ya buuild to fit. That will destroy this class before it get's going strong. Not the other way around. There are tons of choices already in play. The rules are printed, now you can build a car around them.

Jay has a nitrous small block, with heads inferior to some of the inline valve heads already in the class, also you run different jet restriction. Its not like he's asking for a different turbo or supercharger. Didn't BOP get a weight break. With the right rule and car count this class will grow and not become outlaw stock suspension.

[Pontiac Dude]

Pontiac didn't get a weight break. They instituted a set of rules for the BOP cars......... as there were none till I asked for a set.

The Pontiac doesn't have the bore spacing a BBC/BBF. Actually closer to a SBC but didn't fight for the SBC rules for Pontiac.

But I am building to the Rules given to me, not asking for nuttin. Gonna be hard but we will see down the road.

Yes you are right.......

With the right rule and car count this class will grow and not become outlaw stock suspension.

But changing the rules for each individual car that doesn't have the right combo listed can ruin the class. Make the rules and build around them. That is what made the DR class out of reach for most now. They continued to change the rules and it's now Outlaw, not stock suspension.

[R/S #2020]

We have a set of rules.They just tweeked them so more car can run competitive and know one will stay 2 or 3 tenths ahead of the rest.

[jay87stang]

not asking for weight breaks would just like to have a weight and jet restrictions to race at to help put some info in this class for this combo .if I'm correct me and 90 gt have same engine builder and combos that are close . ken {Pontiac dude} you have a combo that the rule makers have know idea of what it will run, so why punish you .they should at least let you lay down a low 5 before they through weight on you i have know problem at what ever weight you want me to weigh as long as I'm competitive. guys grow your class i don't want to race in a outlaw 275 class but lets see what some cars do on the track not on paper and if there that fast add the weight

how are Yates heads inferior to inline heads ??

Now I will admit Jay's Yates heads, if they are old and not prepped properly for the combination/circumstances may be lesser to a set of BES prepped Eddy Victors but you can't have different weights for different builders

The Yates heads have a potential to run very strong with the right combo.
Bring that thing to the next ORSCA Modified Street race in South Carolina it is legal to race. Bring it and lets see its potential. I will be at PBIR tonight bring it out lets see it run.
