I would be if I get the engine back together before then.

I'm not sure what rules we need...

Some suggestions to consider
No power adder pump gas only dot tire no open body car plates and insurance take a 30 mile drive.

Re: Monster Mopar Pump Gas Drags - 06/22/12 12:55 PM

What type of rules are we looking at? Will poweradders be allowed?

look at the Rampage for this

I'm out with the 30 mile drive. My car has never seen 1 road mile since 10/69 when it was built. Been a drag car it's whole life. It could do road duty, but personally I wouldn't since it never has.

I'm just throwing out ideas. The drive isn't necessary. Whatever the majority wants.

Re: Monster Mopar Pump Gas Drags - 06/22/12 08:27 PM

Why don't you just do a 30 min ride, 3 back to back passes. Add all 3 passes together lowest combined et wins. Do like 4 classes fastest overall in each wins.

unlimited class
smallblock NA
bigblock NA
3g hemi to get all the newer cars.

Re: Monster Mopar Pump Gas Drags - 06/22/12 08:49 PM

Anything would be okay by me.... however this is what I think would be cool!

NA pump gas only (meaning anything up 87 to 93 cause its everywhere)

Drive 30 don't really think its needed (however I am awaiting for my DADS custom fuel cell to show up and its a split setup that holds 26 gallons )

weight. whatever

I also think "pro street" type cars should be allowed (like back half jobs) lots of old school pump gas streeters out there

Any DOT tire
Any engine

Mopar car / Mopar powerd

Full interior ( I have a real full interior) but 2 seat only jobs is good by me...

Im not trying to dictate the rules just my opinion...

Heads up 1/8th mile like joshes other event so a slower car has a good chance ..

anyone have any other ideas...

Re: Monster Mopar Pump Gas Drags - 06/22/12 09:23 PM

I like the idea of power adders... Seeing is how my pump gas gen 3 is boosted.

E-85 is common and gaining popularity in the midwest, so I think it should be allowed. After all it is "pump gas."

Re: Monster Mopar Pump Gas Drags - 06/23/12 04:26 AM

So is 110 around here if you want to call it pump gas.

Thats my opinion also.... I'm not running it on my
Rampage but do on the race car

Re: Monster Mopar Pump Gas Drags - 06/23/12 04:44 AM

E85 is pump gas in my opinion.
Posted By: 1967dartgt

Re: Monster Mopar Pump Gas Drags - 06/23/12 04:53 AM

If e85 is allowed I'm in for sure, won't have to change to my small motor to run. If no e85 then we need poweradders for sure, because my 408 sb can't hang with a 572 bb.

let the cruise dictate what is and isnt a street car the less rules the better it will work the tue sstreet nmce format works well and gives the slower cars something to shoot for . awards for closest to 13 and 14 and 12 and 13 and so on award for fastest na that way every one has something to shoot for and keep money out of it make it all about bragging rights big trophy and a jacket or something . if done right i think this could rock thanks for listening josh and every one who would honestly participate put in your input.

Re: Monster Mopar Pump Gas Drags - 06/24/12 02:40 PM

Why not limit it to NA, stock style front suspension, Dot tires, with a 20-30 mile drive. Let the drive dictate the street car. May get a better turn/payout.

I like the idea of few rules... and if you can run
the X amount of miles... keep it as open as possible...
since some dont like the idea of E-85 being pump gas,
make it 93 octane max

Re: Monster Mopar Pump Gas Drags - 06/24/12 11:36 PM

Pump gas is 92 as far as I am concerned. Hell I can drive up and get 116 out of a pump here.. gotta have power adders!

Re: Monster Mopar Pump Gas Drags - 06/24/12 11:50 PM

If backhalved cars are allowed slicks should be allowed IMO. My car is backhalved, I drive it on the street all the time and go to the pump when it needs to be fed. It's slow, radials or slicks so I don't see what the fuss would be if you have slicks. The playing field is equal either way. I don't like being forced to do big burnouts on $850 worth of street tires that's all...

Well if your talking this direction... no trans brakes
or electronics... just like a street car... insurance
and plates

Re: Monster Mopar Pump Gas Drags - 06/25/12 01:03 AM

There should be a drive involved, if this is for street cars. Pump gas limited to 93 octane. Plated and insured. DOT Tire. Two classes, NA class and Power Adder Class. Not one for all.

Why can't there be electronics? There are cars that have factory two-steps out there. My car has plates and insurance and I drive it on the street, but there aren't DOT drag radials or "DOT slicks" that are available for my tire size. Still not understanding why it is being firmly proposed that slicks are not going to be allowed, because everyone knows that everyone will use slicks with a slit the thickness of a butter knife in them in the form of "tread". It's no different than a slick, really.

Because everyone knows slicks are ILLEGAL on the
street... if this is to be street cars make them
a legal street car... DOT tires

It IS different if they are a DOT approved STREET LEGAL tire. That's not a RACE slick, although I get your point.

What size are your tires? Hoosier and MT make some type of DOT tire in many sizes...

My tires are a 32X14.5W and I cannot seem to find a DOT tire that would fit. I have 33X22 MT SR radials under it now, would prefer not to burn them up. I understand the whole race slick thing, but honestly a thin groove makes no difference.
