ProMax Carbs tried to run Extreme street and Muscle Street classes at Mopar Nationals, and Monster Mopar in 2008 and 2009. These were basically muffler "street" classes with weight limits imposed to even out the big blocks and small blocks, broken into power added and non-power added classes. They got 4-6 cars between BOTH classes out of the 200+ cars racing at each event.
No way to get sponsors to support a prize purse in a class when only 2-3 cars participate.
Seemed no one wanted to spend $50 to enter a class when they thought someone was going to be faster. So one 9.80 all-motor car shows up and no other cars would enter the muscle street class.
The rules were fairly simple and I think they can still be found in the forums on the ProMax website.
KOS races did well in the late 90's and into about 2004. Then a few wicked fast cars were built, and everyone else seemed to be satisfied with taking their chances at bracket racing.
Index racing seems to draw racers much easier than heads-up now days. When they run a 6.50 race at a local 1/8 mile track, 15-20 cars would enter. The 10.00 1/4 mile classes seem to do well also.

Yup I remember in 09 at monster mopar only 4 of us showed up. Two in each class. Still was fun though. This year I just ran the 10.00 class and street eliminator. The 10.00 class was only $25.00. Maybe if the entry fee was cheaper and payout % dependant upon car count more would do it. Or just index racing like the 10.00 class just more options 12.00,11.50,11.00 ect and rules for street cars. Its all fun to me win or lose.
