Smallblock Shootout

[LDELEE]

Shootout for the smallblock guys only. Any make of car, any tire size, no tube chassis cars, pro-tree, no scoreboards. $1,500 to win, based on 16 cars. Everyone will recieve something for entering. Sunday, October 21. Gates open at 4. Race starts around 7:30. Just trying to do something for the smaller guys, without having to worry about big blocks lurking.

[LXtasy]

Any power adder?

[LDELEE]

[WWhittle]

[Steve40th]

[WTFWSAT]

Heads up

[outlawts]

My turn lol

[Steve40th]

Heads up

Thanks

[LDELEE]

Yeah, Steve it's all heads up. If it was bracket style we would have to show dial- in and times.

[bones]

terry it shook your way sunday nite

[RobertHolton1]

I need some NITROUS!!

[LDELEE]

This time there won't be any Lil Gooblins to worry about! Small blocks to the front!

[Chillerman]

I'm in!

[freddy231]

sounds like my kinda race. i got nitrous and some spare pistons. will be there

[BAD BOB]

i think the fast ford race should be small blocks also! not to just exclude the little princess but as you see they seem to take the win almost everytime we have it and the small blocks dont really have a chance for the most part. know i know that there are some small blocks that can do a better job than me and some ran into so issues this past sunday but it would just make for a tighter field and a little more chance for someone else to win. but thats just my .02

[1998ta__1991rs]

Or maybe have it if a car wins the shootout they can't win the next one.

[RoadconeTuning]

thats how the STS is done up here.

[Jimmyz18]

as long as I can get fuel and nitrous, I'll be there....I agree with Robert too btw

Jim

[Harry]

I agree that the same person should not be allowed to win every event and I think that is another reason that events like this have been created. But it is still the fastest or the one that can make the trip that is going to win and there still could be someone faster than you, me or whatever there.

Any power adder?

LOL

[outlawts]

I say just run motor. Lol

[WWhittle]

A 28x10.5 non W would even it up

[LXtasy]

LOL

I am not entering into this. I ask because there is a lot of "no turbo" events like this.

[outlawts]

maybe the tree will shake my way this time

A 28x10.5 non W would even it up

And no red cars with black wheels. Lol

[bones]

i say only radials

[LXtasy]

255 radials even

[BigdaddyDupree]

Hals would dominate. Good sportsmanship giving everyone else a chance.

as long as you leave the checkmate at the house

Wes, that maybe the balancing factor, we may have to look into that. I agree with alot of the comments. The Fast Ford Shootout is a Run-Whatcha-Brung type deal, now we are excluding the big blocks and going to get this Small Block class cooking.

In the past, there has been several different winners in the Fast Ford Shootout. T-Pain, Tony Bynes(7-up), Boogie Man and Lil Monster to name a few and Outlawts, if im not mistaken. Our objective was to make sure we had simple rules to get car count up, then implement rules to put everyone in a level playing field. Keep in mind, you have a few guys that have fast cars that are down right now.

I think the Small Block Class will accomodate alot of people. With bigger car counts, come bigger payouts. We just need to find the medium, that fits the majority.

i say a true 28.5 10.5 small block. just my in put.

[freddy231]

i got a 29.5 105 on my car and can go bigger but not smaller. you wanna skate round on a 28 you can have the race. not hurting myself over a small tire. not bashing the track or anybody but i willnot risk my safety on a tire argument. freddy231 out

[RobertHolton1]

I say do it like back in 07 and 08... Anything goes as long it's on a 10.5 or smaller tire... We had big turn outs...

Cars have been 4.50's on a true 28. It sounds to me like your bigger tires are just masking some other issues with the car.

In 07-08 it was almost 100% nitrous cars. If they go back to those rules, nobody complain when they are racing big block twin turbo cars.

[clint c]

X2

[Jimmyz18]

Not bashing lil monster but doesnt he have a big block? why is he running in a small block shootout then?? I may be wrong. Ill never win one of these, so I'm just out to have fun and help fill the field.

[freddy231]

to issues with car already tore up a car lost a thumb and ruined a shoulder because of a slick track and a small tire. not getting out of my comfort zone.

[slowgreen99]

it wasnt a small block shootout...this new one is.

Look at the rules. Any size tire is allowed. If you wanna run a big tire, then go ahead. If your car can't make the trip down the track, then you've got other issues. Make a solo pass first and see how it behaves. I always make one or two passes before lining up with anyone. My car get's it done on a true 28.0 10.5 on stock suspension with no problems. Motor or nitrous, it goes straight.

Fixed it for you buddy!:bigthumb:

[WWhittle]

If you want straight down the track with zero movement, make it work on radials. That's boring if you ask me, but it definitely doesn't move around AT ALL.
I crack up when I hear people talk about how great the drivers are on a radial tire. As long as the car is pointed straight, you can relax and drive with one hand. Probably drink some coffee and eat a snack too.

[Chillerman]

Fixed it for you buddy!:bigthumb:

What's that supposed to mean? You must have been there the night my car got out of shape. Could have been a bad day for sure. That was when I found out how important it is to measure roll out on your tires.

[bones]

car count who alls going to make it

[Jimmyz18]

If I don't get shipped out of town for my new job I'll be there.

[LXtasy]

If I don't get shipped out of town for my new job I'll be there.

Congrats on the new job

[LDELEE]

This race has been postponed. Will keep everyone posted on the new date. If there is enough interest we will run heads up 6.0 tomorrow though.

[BAD BOB]

Why?

[Jimmyz18]

Why?

You might get some folks showing up still. I talked to a few who said they would go, but I don't have their contact info and they are not on this board to tell them it's been postponed.
