Its already there... There isnt a reduction but there is a penalty for having ladder bars, etc. Which is the SAME thing.

it already looks like a case of ballot box stuffing to me there aren't that many people with megablocks that are interested in heads up racing. the reason for keeping stock blocks should be for the sake of parity and the ability to tech the class. if your so hopped up on running a mega block, put a good set of heads on it and step up to extreme street and let it rip. I've got a feeling that any of these megablock cars can't keep up with some of the established stock block cars, so why bother. It's an entry level class keep it that way. jeff r Jeff hit on a good point. Ben might want to revisit the poll and see if they will put down their names and isp will show so we don't have a bogus poll. I am all for having the masses heard but I know that we will have atleast 10-20 cars at the first show with the rules the way they are. Remember the word entry level. I don't consider megablocks to be an entry level steet class rule. Sounds more in the level of an extreme street level build up. Greg Van Hoose vhepower.com

It's clear a bunch of you guys don't want any serious competition. You would prefer to run against stock slant sixes. It is alot more even to allow a naturally aspirated mega block run in Muscle Street than to make them run against supercharged,turbo and nitrous cars in Xtreme street. But everyone has their own opinion. I have read the rules of both these classes very close and I did not see anything about MS being an entry level class. What I did read in the first line of the description is that it is a non-power adder class. Xtreme street says in the first line that it is a power adder class.

Charger, I race in the faster class anyways so your not a threat of competition to me. But i've been racing heads up mopar stuff for a while and I think I understand that the rules makers want good fast racing, but also want a defined line between the two classes. just because somebody only runs 12's with a mega block doesn't meen he should get to race with the STOCK SLANT SIXES it just meens that they havn't acquired enough knowledge to make it faster. then after they raced it for awhile and learned how to make it faster the rules makers don't want to have to tell them that they can't use that block anymore. by the way how many races do you think you might show up to before anybody would consider changing rules for such a small contingent, some of us have seen this before where the squeeky wheel was never going to show up anyways. I'm not trying to be confrontational and definitely don't want this post to turn into an argument and get locked down but don't start throwing little jabs at the people who've seen this before and are just looking for a successfull racing venue and take this seriously. also they (rules makers) are looking for rules that are easy to police and control, without having to have a NHRA style teardown for a tech session. jeff r

i dont know what the big debate is about the blocks for. Just make it 416" for small blocks and 500" for big blocks. And who cares what kinda block you have if you have a non oem block you will be giving yourself a weight peanlty. And probably 99% of the guys on here are just talking anyway. i follow the KOS how many cars??? how about the NMCA etc... All these events have how many mopars that are competive???? Bill May and Andy Mayes and Leon Try to compete but are always a couple steps behind. I would love to see some MOPARS that were capable of competeing but it just never happens. I just remeber Bruce Lagroy, Tim Davis did well who am I missing?????? I just dont want to see you guys make the rules to restrictive and have 10 cars show up and this peter out like the KOS events. Most types of rules for classes always have CU IN limitation not a block limitaion. I say forget the oem block stuff and just do cubic inches How many guys do you know that have 500" mega blocks with INDY EZ heads in a small tire car on leafs???? And if you do will they show up and race it?????? Or R blocks that are 416" with the smaller heads most guys with this type of block are runnin it in races cars not streeet cars. Well this just my And my opinion and you know what they say about opinions.........
