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.

The problem with the promax stuff here around indy is NO ONE KNOWS about it. Its not advertised....its not talked about... no one hypes it up....there for no one shows up....
Ed is correct 100%...no Mopars play in this field....either they are scared to loose, or they are stuck on bracket racing....
Thats why i,m counting on you for next year...young buck,..You have a bad azz duster..,
Thanks Ed!
There is no way in h e l l you would remember me, but I would stop and pick your brain at every event I saw you at. We pitted next to on another at one of the events. I think it was Martin.... you tellin me about how you would take teh old aluminum rods out of your car, and toss them in your kids is one of the reason my street car has aluminum rods in it....
