Wouldn't mind taking the Buick to run there in Outlaw Limited Street, but their weight is too heavy. Have to put 500 pounds in car

I didn't know chads car weighed 2600lbs

Thanks Gary!!!

You are the best

That's in "Outlaw trim". We have to be 2750-2800 for Drag Radial or Limited Drag Radial

Wouldn't mind see that at all! There's a GN here that street driven and runs high 8's.

U/S and x275 are ran with John Sears rules.

Thanks for the above post. Can you list or do you know an average ET for each class.

X235 record is 5.20s sbf nitrous, you can go rounds if you run 5.60-.30s this class will probably be faster this year

X275 4.70-80s average I'd say.


US 5.0-.20


Ols is typically a bit faster then x275.


But it depends on who shows up. Alot of fast radial cars run this local series.

Looks like we would have to weigh at least 3300lbs, same as a twin turbo car on alcohol and be down 1000hp to them, plus run on two kits..............PASS.............Insane rules. Nitrous car has NO chance. Rules allow 3.80 capable turbo cars at the weight they normally run at.........CRAZY

@ 3400lbs how do you cut the .400 tree.. not a chance. Those X235 rules are something all right.

I have a customer that I think runs this series. We sold him the motor out of the Buick, as we are building a new one. Some of these rules came about AFTER he bought that motor. Seems they were concerned about how fast the Buick had been, 4 teens, that they went WAY overboard in Limited Street on the nitrous rules. Never mind the fact that we only went teens in Outlaw trim at 2600lbs.

If you look at the rules, it shows just how scared they are of a big motor.......YET they let a single stage, conventional headed big block weigh 300lbs LESS than the same combo runs in X275, where the "hitter" nitrous guys run 4.40s. Those rules make ZERO sense.

Drawn up for the fox body crowd. That's the only way it makes sense.

The body makes no difference............it's the weight limits for the power combos. In radial racing, few fox bodies are actually even Ford powered, so that's a non issue

I was referring to the 235 class.. but I get your point

We will run the 235 class on motor. A 5.10 will win in my opinion . We ran the barracuda at their last race the "Finale at the Valley" last year and ran 4.80'S and won. The fastest car we saw was a 4.73. We have been to a couple of their events. Hopefully by race time we will be a high 40's or low 50's car.

Unfortunately it appears as if this portion of the race is not going to happen.

We are back to our regularly scheduled program.
