So was this considered a win for the Camaro or did he loose because he redlighted?

Silly me I thought this was going to be 2 Mopars, one SB and one BB. Seems like the Furd is the faster of the 2 and a much meaner looking car. And why is it a secret on how much NOS the Chevy guy is running?

I'm sure if it was a bracket race things would have been normal at the tree.... But it wasn't a bracket race! Basically, it was a street race done on the track in a safer environment. The mustang looks like a weekend warrior bracket car to me...

Men where men and boys were boys and its run what you brung and no head starts. Whats with the guy standing in front of the car while they stage? Don't they know were the starting line is? Must think its a funny car or something.

Just seems like the mopar crowd doesn't get grudge racing, maybe because there are never any mopars in it? lol
Personally I bracket race because my junk isnt fast, but grudge racing is the funnest stuff to watch...I love the track but nothing is as fun as getting down on the street, or atleast trying to get down on the track like its the streets

Can't say I agree - it's hard to tell where the finish line is, but in the one part of the video shot from down track, I only saw the Camaro out about 2 - 2 1/2 cars, which don't cover the "leave" spot. On that particular pass - heads up and the 'Stang wins by several lengths. As to the "He had to peddle" - don't bring a knife to a gun fight - and don't expect to get much sympathy when a small tire car don't hook.

I would hope so he's probaly got 3x the amount of money in it and he's probably running a 2 or 3 stage 300-400 shot. Not to mention it's probaby a 400+ cubic inch small block...So yeah I guess he could. What's yer point? Apples and Onions here.

I think it's more in the way it was presented, the tough guy thug know it all attitude and the lack of an explaination as to what was happening that set the tone for this thread. I was in the ghetto street racing on French road and Outer Drive probably before some of these guys were born LOL. I kinda understood what was happening, but not completely because we normally ran heads-up or just gave cars if a spot was needed or just let the slower car leave, which is what happened here just in a more complicated way.
Would it have been so hard to simply explain in English what was happening to those of us that don't speak wiggerese? We all like fast cars and racing, and I'd be willing to bet that 90% street raced some as a kid. Because some didn't understand the set-up or the latest hip and trendy thug terms doesn't mean they were hating on the cars or the racing.

umm i wouldn't go as far to say that it wasn't explained...take a look at the comments and before it could even be explained people were criticizing it for whatever reason they could find...so as far as an appreciation for any type of fast car, well i didnt see that here
to be honest, I don't see any gangster talk at all either in this thread or in how things were explained, and thats all I hear from people around where I am so i definitely know what it sounds like
maybe if it was a mopar people wouldn't jump to pick at things?
still a great race imoand please don't take this as an attack, just saying what i see here and I think some others do as well

I applaud you and the people involved for keeping it at the track and not on the street. We pretty well know whats up. Most of us saw the Brown Sugar video. In my day I would have given you a couple of cars and the hit or just the hit. The car giving the car lengths runs a quarter. The car getting the car lengths runs less than a quarter.

LOL, I'll take the hillbilly moniker, been called way worse
So what was this "brake" that was given? Wilwood, Aerospace? Or did you mean "break"? First of all, what's the first thing you see on the video? Seems to me it said "In the street with Real Street drag racing"? Second of all, if you're going to let someone leave, what do you need the tree for? Third, at no e.t. nights at Milan if they want to give up cars and the leave they don't use the tree, they just put the car getting the spot out the amount of cars given and let him leave. And if this isn't grudge/street racing just using the track instead of a public road, why not use a protree? Because it's street racing, it's just happening at the track. I know it's a tough concept for you to understand.

Re: my boys sb vs tube chassis bb - 12/10/11 09:11 PM
you need somebody or something. the way it works is they use the tree to stage and the guy getting the break can leave anytime he wants after the first yellow comes on. it actually works pretty good.

Let me try to explain what I meant. Most grudge videos, races and threads are full of thuggery, gibberish and a lot of "terms" that non "grudge" racers have no idea what they mean. So when you start using terms like "brake", we think you mean like disc brakes
Then the "clean", so we assume someone is going to clean something Then a self professed "Real Street drag racing" video takes place at a track using a tree. Then to make matters worse, one car leaves on what looks like the first yellow, and the other guy leaves on what looks like the second yellow. Now a lot of us fresh mouthed hillbilles just can't wrap our simple minds around what just happened cuz that ain't how Paw show'd us'ins to use that ther tree! So you can see how confusion and chaos broke out!

Re: my boys sb vs tube chassis bb - 12/10/11 10:50 PM
Giving someone the "brake" has nothing to do with when they leave - it's how they leave - off the transbrake. Giving them the "leave" means they can leave anytime after both cars are ready, which is about a 4 tenths head start. And the 4 tenths head start is worth about 6 1/2 cars at the stripe when the trap speeds are about 170, not only 4.

Andy keep this stuff on the bullet where people enjoy and know what they are watching.
I think it's more in the way it was presented, the tough guy thug know it all attitude and the lack of an explaination as to what was happening that set the tone for this thread. I was in the ghetto street racing on French road and Outer Drive probably before some of these guys were born LOL. I kinda understood what was happening, but not completely because we normally ran heads-up or just gave cars if a spot was needed or just let the slower car leave, which is what happened here just in a more complicated way.
Would it have been so hard to simply explain in English what was happening to those of us that don't speak wiggerese? We all like fast cars and racing, and I'd be willing to bet that 90% street raced some as a kid. Because some didn't understand the set-up or the latest hip and trendy thug terms doesn't mean they were hating on the cars or the racing.
Dude you posted about BB vs SB...ok neither are mopars we can get over that. Not much of fair race if you have to spot somebody a light or 2. We have grude races at the track all the time. They are all heads up. Big tire..small tire BB Sb doesn't matter. Both those car haul tail and both are very nice. I don't know why you get so bent. I guess you know one of the guys, maybe the chevy guy?
So yeah maybe a better explaination would have helped.

Then a self professed "Real Street drag racing" video takes place at a track using a tree.
So I guess when you go to the movies and it says dreamworks before the movie you guys think the whole movie is a dream.

Well I have been grudge racing for 12-15 yrs and can count on one hand the amount of heads up races I have been offered. Most of the time I would give the break (the other car gets to leave first) to big block chevies to my small block on spray.

Giving someone the "brake" has nothing to do with when they leave - it's how they leave - off the transbrake. Giving them the "leave" means they can leave anytime after both cars are ready, which is about a 4 tenths head start. And the 4 tenths head start is worth about 6 1/2 cars at the stripe when the trap speeds are about 170, not only 4.
wow your 4 slow on a chase? you might not want to do any grudge racing then

The 4 tenths is pretty much the average time it takes to see the other car leave, react, and for the second car to actually move. Pretty much the same as a .400 pro tree - if you can't consistantly red light a .400 tree you are giving up at least 4 cars on the big end by giving someone the leave.

Let me see if I can shed some light on this growing dilemma.
Example A....
Yo.....stips is da game. Whachu think, dude gunna grab a lane wit dude dat don't sit da same??? Fer paper??? Sheeeeet, dis homie be whack!!! DIG!?!?!?!?!
Example A Translation....
Excuse me kind sir......but stipulations are simply a part of this phenomenon known as "grudge" racing. You can't believe, for even a second, that one competitor would line up against another competitor if their vehicles have been assembled in completely different fashions.....it just wouldn't be prudent. Especially if currency is involved. Poop, for you to think along these lines tells me you need immediate psychiatric attention. CAPICE!?!?!?!?!

I guess it depends if you go to the track to walk or talk. Walk - toss a dial in on the window or get in a heads up class and race. Talk - go to grudge race night and spend 5 minutes a race argueing the brake, leave, lengths, etc. and all the other postureing that goes with street racing. The grudge race nights at Milan - your "race" is supposed to be set when you hit the water box, but it seems there is always last minute nonsense that slows the racing down. I go to a drag strip to race - If I wanted that kind of drama I'd watch Jersey Shore.
