Thread: Club Hot Rod Drag Racing

Tweet

How about a CHR Drag series?

Start off small with 5 races geographically located around the country with simple rules, all heads up run whatcha brung type fun?

Something like this:

Hot Rod: 6 Lbs per cube with 2000 Lbs minimum weight

Street Rod: 10 Lbs per cube with 2800 Lbs minimum weight

Muscle Car: 8 Lbs per cube with 3200 Lbs minimum weight

All Cars must be street legal, registered and drive a 30 mile before race cruise.

NHRA rules as per safety equipment

See ya on the starting line.

If it goes over well it can be expanded.

There are enough people here to set up basic rules and if a group of 3-5 people were to take the responsibility of setting up the race in their area it could be done.

Whadaya think?

Wanna take a shot at my Caddy? Careful, you might enjoy yourself!!

im game. let me know time and place.

it would cost me 80.00 in fuel and i would have to fill up twice just to get to the track, i could just come and watch though.

sounds awesome except for the whole crusing thing never was a fan of that stuff, are we racing? or are we driving around wasting time attracting cops?

I'm in for Sacramento or even Infineon. Adn I like the drive to the track idea.

Pat

what are we gonna do when we break something walk home?

my cars drive just fine but i not going to cage out my streets cars to play at the track and i do not fall in any of your cid to weight class

thats why we ought buy the track here, it has no sanctioning body you can withing reality do anything you want! hey we have rules to though! as in no bbc gtos allowed

not fair?

Those aren'i rules. they're ideas!

Let's here how you'd structure it.

I'm just trying to see how many performance types we have here.

geezer,

count me in .......
I don`t have any class , and not sure if my shop truck does either .....2500 lbs 496"

Base it on et..3 or 4 classes, 3 qualifying passes and race. If you want street only cars than the cars have to have street equipment, lights, horn, etc. and don’t forget the party after the race.

i never said rules i said weight class

I remember when... "Street car" races were started. There were all these rules about the cruise, the lights, the this and that. It was all cool until the racecars started adding lights and this and that to compete... I've got a couple videos from the "Worlds Fastest Streetcar" series. They are ALL racecars...Not one of them is a real "streetcar"... I always argued with people about my 71 Nova. Bigblock, Prostreet car, spooled rearend, 3800 stall converter...I drove it from Valparaiso, Ind to DuQuoin, Ill for the Street Machine Nationals one year, 370 miles each way. The cool thing was having people come up to me there mentioning that they saw me go by 150 miles back on the highway!!! THAT is a true streetcar (GOD, I wish I still had that one!!!)True streetcar races will almost always be infiltrated by true racecars with "options". I LOVE drag racing, but sometimes with all the rules, it turns into real "drag"...races, not much fun. I like the run whatcha brung and don't complain if you get beat. There will always be someone faster (unless you are Pat McCarthy...) :-)after looking at that Goat in his gallery, he may just have THE fastest car... I loved the idea behind "PINKS" when it first came out, but now, like everything, its getting old. You get guys sandbagging to get lengths...if they're cars are so BAD, why are they negotiating for a headstart?? Build it, race it and HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!
