That blows, you have a unique fast street car and people wonder why some of us just say screw it and street race like its always been.

Well that sucks.. bummer you didnt get in

Yah I wasn't too happy. The fastest anyone has went is 5.70 from what I heard. I really think I would have had a chance.



We didn't get in, but it definitely wasn't from lack of trying. Really happy I had my buddy's with me to keep me calm.

I went through a similar ordeal at the first Roadkill and finally had them look over my tires with a magnifying glass to see the DOT, but not recommended for street duty all year round. I think they wanted cars running on street BFG/ Goodyear and Coker tires or something like that and I told them that any car with decent power AT THE TIRES should have a sticky tire at the very least, because not having so makes for a more dangerous situation in such a short distance.
My car was drunk for the first two rounds until I got a hold of it and the burn out sequence and brought back it's mojo game from back in the day.

I never see anyone get booted out for front tires..
I'd have been real PISSED

The rules say dot tires...learn how to understand what you read...and by the way lenny won the 10 g's...and good for him

You're right it does and doesn't say anything about front tires whatsoever. Also "DOT tire, no slicks, " in every shootout or class in the world it pertains to the rear tires, which would give someone a clear advantage in the class. Front tires give no one any sort of advantage.

I read through the RoadKill Rules and saw the DOT Tires and assumed that meant front and back since the event wasn't at a drag strip. I'm sure that Roadkill had to get some sort of special event liability insurance and that came with a list of requirements that became the rules. I can see at a track that already has insurance, where "DOT Tires Required" would mean rear tires only and they would let you race with drag race only front tires. And yes, for sure, a dedicated drag race front runner type tire would be much safer than any non-speed rated VW front tire.

damn...that's rough. I would have gladly lent you my fronts.

I went through the same thing the first year. I went out and bought rims and regular radial street tires because the rules said no slicks, no drag radials, etc. I showed up and they let everything run from DOT tires to full slicks.

When I see a DOT tire rule, I take that to mean both front and rear. Now, at a lot of the street car shootouts I've raced in, they always allow a non-DOT front tire to run. Never seen anyone DQ'd for having ET Fronts.

Congrats to Lenny on the win, shame they won't let you run but rules are rules.

Thanks!!!! It was a battle to get down the street. Mike Maron in his Charger was a beast.

Wait.... did 8secdart win the whole basket?

The Dodge part, quickest Dodge.

Congrats to him. Nice going.
