I got a call today from our local track and they are starting a local Top 10 list kinda like the TV show thing. But this one will be run at the track on test and tune night and is for street cars. So, from that point of view, it is just opposite of the TV show. Sounds like fun. And they said that there are lists starting in several other local towns and that there may be some town to town shoot-outs. Overall, I am glad to see it. Of course, the devil is in the details and we will see how they actually put it together, but still, it's cool. I'm been invited in! At least for the initial shoot-out for list position. Anybody else got anything like this going on locally? 
Master, again and still

Feb. 28 they are having a Outlaw and a Street Legal top 10 list at a track about 40 miles from me. It will be no prep.They are going to give you 3 passes and you will not know what you run. Only the people in the tower will, they will make the list. Then people can call you out for a race to get on the list or move up.

There are rules for every track and every class has rules - I guess you really don't race. Well except on the keyboard

Is this going to be at I-57?If so i might have to check this out  What day is this going down fridays?......... 
Yep, I-57.
It is still all in the planning stages.
As for too many rules, the track is trying to attract more street cars. So they are trying to keep the race cars that they already have from dominating the list.
The TV show is about race cars racing on the street, while this is supposed to be street cars racing on the track.
Personally, the only rule I would like to see changed is the one where they are going to allow any suspension mods. If the suspension mods were limited to bolt on items, it would be even more of a street car theme.
Anyway, I am stoked about it. Just sounds like fun.

Rickster
That seems a little odd to me. Is a tube chassis more of an advantage than a power adder?
Just asking
Mark
thats what I am talking about. what difference does it make what kind of chassis how light the car blablabla. you will be running on a non prep track.

Anything's possible. 
I think that with the suspension mods and DOT tire rules in place, the cars will be in the deep 6's if not 5's, right away. Not bad for a start. I won't be in the hunt at that point, but it will be fun for awhile.
