i did not rad every post in this thread, i just scanned through it... but what i gather is,
YOU GUYS DONT GET IT!
Larry sat out last year in protest of where the class was going.
this year was meant to show how ridiculous it could get. the truck has steel OEM roof and bed sides. and an oem vin..
also..Larry was approached about doing this..
bangshift did not sponsor it..Chad Reynolds co-owner of Bangshift id Larry's partner in the deal..
the truck was put in impound.
the transformation is easily done by 2 guys.
help was only requested in the time crunch..
the doors were switched for safety, why risk getting t boned with a carbon door.
the trailer was built to exact max specs.
wheels and tires were switched to achieve maximum ride height.
air ride was used in the back as to not tear up the rear shocks..
Larry won 5 times with out a trailer or changing tires..his main goal this year was to make a statement, and to run quicker than Andy Frost...
DONE and DONE

---

Chad was the one that got sponsorship from some of the company's that are Bangshift sponsors. The announcer Brian Lohens is also co owner of Bangshift.

---

Just because Chad got sponsorship from a company
that is also sponsoring on BS doesnt mean they are
remotely related.. if the company thought it was a
good worth while investment then they would go for it..
I'm sure that Larry himself had investors also.. just
from his past DW winning years.... JMO

Rules for 2015 and beyond have not been made yet.

Correct... all rules are subject to change for
THIS COMING year and beyond and as of yet we are
still in the dark

Yes Mr.P I understand the rules for DW are written. But its my understanding that the rule are good for the next three years? Yes or No?

But my post was directed too Monte, just because someone owns a small car with little too no room even for there lunch box is a poor reason for a trailer, chucked full of spare parts.

Limit the size of the trailer? too what size? little red wagon sounds good too me..

This WAS the last year on the current rules.. they
are ALL up for change..... if they want to

Personally, I don't see a single rule that needs changing.

Too many rules and you get a spec. racing series like NASCAR has become.

The creativity and innovation that the current rules allow are what make it interesting.

After all, this DW has had more publicity and exposure due to the controversy than ever before!

For the bulk of them I agree.. I dont think that
will be the case

Rule changes: I think the street race categories need to be tightened up a little to bump more cars over into the Super Street classes. SRBB n/a was ridiculously huge but SSBB n/a only had 2 entries on Monday morning.

---

I think IF I get in next year I'll go into unlimited
just for kicks.. this and DD are all I can go into
according to the current rules... it would open up
a spot in DD... what was there in unlimited this year..
15 entries.... then I wouldnt be in the loser low
life class of DD.. according to some guys on BS..
but I dont care what class as long as I can get in

I haven't done Drag Week but I think it would be a blast and I think my car would survive. What I don't understand is why are guys that don't run Unlimited complaining about guys that do?

---

MOST of the guys dont have any bi&ch against the unlimited
guys.. they USUALLY praise them for what they do..
the so called class racers bi&ch at the DD class for
taking up spaces (thats all the classes except the
unlimited)... at least its that way on BS

Agreed they should have a min. ET rule so those 15 sec daily drivers cannot get in.....leave those spaces open for fast cars.

All that would occur is people with their street car
would go into the classes either BB or SB... then you
have slower cars in the different classes... but they
all pay the same price to get in and they have as
much right as the next guy... and if you limit the
number of DD cars they just go into a class
EDIT
being what I built I can either be in DD or unlimited
so should I be banned in unlimited if I can only run
10.0 due to no NHRA license anymore.. but this year
there were 12 second cars in unlimited and 15 second
cars in the past
