would it be 2,600
300 minus 2900 for the nitrous small block
i wont run either without the sissy sticks
Correct, as far as I know......but WOW, that'd be light......

What about the Mopar Nationals???
I enjoy the mopar nats but not racing there, just too crowded for me. I still like clay city, KY for a race like this. Its a pretty central location and nice laid back track, pretty track, good food and always works good.
One day I will have something cool here.

i dont think the Nats would be a good place for it also.
maybe Josh can have the deal setup @ Indy ?
they are trying to put together a heads up series and promise world class prep there !

Cool.......I'm up for where ever...... I like very little rules too.......but using weight and tire size is pretty loose IMHO.........Heck, even a Top Fuel car can race, it just needs to weigh 5,000lbs and run on 29.5" tires........
If you can't handle the truth, you're living a lie.......

I run at Thompson and they have a Renegade class there. It's an 8.90 heads up index and next summer they'll have a 10.50 index, they are growing fast because they don't have alot of rules. Have to have a stock type dash and carpet, and no stickers all over the body of the car. Other than that, tire size and suspension doesn't matter, wheelie bars are allowed etc etc.

No gutted race cars, interior, roll up windows, no back seat ok but must be carpeted? tt5 or 315 tire.
BB power adder 3300lbs
Smallblock power adder 3100lbs
NA BB 3000lbs
NA SB 2800lbs
street appearing is the key. Must post pics of your car efore the race with its weight.
how about these for rules?

those rules look great....
the only thing i would change is to allow weight breaks for guys using factory blocks
also you need to have some rule about heads...Preadators or B1TS or B1PSO are a lot better than 440-1, calssify them as Non Conventional
Best thing is use the above weights as base and deduct from there
Deduct for factory block
Deduct for conventional heads
not looking to complicate the rules any, just give weight breaks for people running "cheaper" or more common equipment

I think you are on the right track. I think the majority of our cars can fit those rules and everyone still be competitive.
One big thing is that your car must be MOPAR powered!
Another idea I like is instead of pro ladder make it a random draw. Put all numbers in a hat and draw for pairings. Most of the heads up races in Oklahoma are ran that way and it works out pretty good. Puts another nice wrinkle in things.

for this to work it needs less rules,some of you guys want the rules to fit around your cars,and most peoples cars are diffrient,the only rules should be weight of the car and the tire size, or have 2 classes...big block cars and small block cars....if a guy wants to race his dragster put on the weight and a 10.5 tire i,ll grab a lane next to him...You have some people willing to put some money for this event to happen...Don,t kill it with all your rules,ya never know this could turn out to be a killer event
I agree to a point but we need the NA guys to have a chance and its not safe to put more than a couple of hundred pounds in a car.
open cars need to race with themselves.

Whoa!...Everybody slow down...Looks like this could happen,but to many chiefs and not enough indians doesn't ever work...I'M 100% in on the $2500. and it looks like Bigtime (Bob) and Big Squeeze (Wayne) are in for $1000. each and i'm sure there will be more!...This would be a cool deal if we can make it happen,but everyone needs to understand we have to have fairly loose rules to make it work,please don't forget the GRUDGE part so we can try to include all small tire MOPARS(n/a-turbo-blower-nitrous)and have one hell of a time!...Ideas are great,but ultimatly you have to have a small group make the final decisions...Don't know anything about the Clay City track in Kentucky,but i'm going to be open minded on the location.The Bowling Green track is easy to get to for a lot of racers and should be a good track...Gary
P.S.I'M SORRY FOR HIJACKING YOUR THREAD OLD YELLER(AKA BIRD)AND YOUR CAR WILL FIT THE RULES!
im no chief....im an indian, tell me when and where, IF i can make it i will, and if i get dragged down the track.....it wont be the first time LOL ! ! !
