Maybe they can have monster trucks as part of the intermission at these races. We can only hope that they dont pull the growing Pro Mod class from the national events and stick them at these poor excuses for a drag race

Just look at the spectators at these events. The biggest problem will be the rules... Exactly James... ...they change the rules for those classes more than I change my underwear ...prices racers out of the sport yearly. Guys build a car for a class..then...whammo..they change the rules before they even make a pass. I really do not understand the point for true 10.5 and outlaw 10.5. If you want to host a 10.5 outlaw tire class it should be just that, measured 10.5 inch tread width. Show up with a 10.5 inch tire and you are in.

I hope the rules for the west coast stay the same for a while , but where there is a will there is a way . How about a big cube V-6 ,( something like a cut down BAE hemi ) twin turbo methanol, automatic , pro-stock car . That would only have to weigh 2200 pounds. 6.50 @ 226 MPH 4.25 @ 186 MPH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YX86DHGKBo0

But, establishing the rules is pretty tough.. They could make it simple. Both class have the same rules except tire size... Most True 10.5 classes weigh 3000 sb 3200 bb. Most Outlaw 10.5 classes have a 2350 min weight. Run what you brung. Weight and tire size are the only rules.
