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.
I was kidding about the dragster thing...just trying to make a point!,let the NA guys have a class for themselfs,instead of all the rules now you have 4 classes bigblocks,small blocks. NA big blocks and NA small blocks....There now you have a class for everybody the more cars the bigger the event and everybody leaves on a instant green light,That would help for more of a fair playing field...just a thought.

What would you suggest for rules?
I don't want to be a Chief either, but I'll be an Indian........
I nominate Gary for being the head Chief, since he was the first to step up and offer some moolah......
If you're going to try to get a sponsor or two, it'd be smart to put it in with another Mopar race/show that already has a decent sized turnout to give the potential sponsors incentive.....that's why I'd suggested the Mopar Nats.... My thought was that if they set aside a parking area for these cars, it wouldn't be such a cluster??? but again, I'm up for whatever, wherever.......
If you can't handle the truth, you're living a lie.......

If everyone is putting money into a pot why not do it like Cash days / KOTS and just have each racer pay $500 to enter and winner takes all or divide it down to the semi's. Thats still OK money if only 10 cars showed up. Here is a video of the last KOTS race, albeit a Mopar version would be far less dramatic..but it shows they can be done without any sponsors. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89z1ahQV0NI&feature=related
