Dorchester Import v/s Domestic Challenge

[LDELEE]

First off, we would like to thank everyone that braved the cool temps and came out to our 1st Import night. We had a total of 57 cars racing with 42 of those being imports. There was a wide variety of cars, ranging from Supra's to Bmw's and Lexus. The Evo's were definately impressive. With that being said we may try to have one more before it really turns cold. We was thinking of having a Import v/s Domestic race. Evo's v/s Ford Lightning. 8-10 car field (4-5 cars each brand) $500 to win, FREE entry. Any feedback on this idea would greatly be appreciated. Would it even be a fair race?

[Carlrx7]

street cars would be fun, then them race cars would show up and take our monies.

Problem there is... everyone thinking they have a street car. Would need a serious set of rules and would be nearly impossible to make sure everyone is following them.

[Mr. Camaro]

hell yea im down

[Carlrx7]

v--- street car

[Matts94Z28]

Sounds like a good idea. I would enter the g/f's Cobalt SS just to see this happen. That was the most fun I have had in a while...

[chrisheltra]

Did someone say $500 and Lightning? :)

[1998ta__1991rs]

maybe darryl can bring his truck out of hiding for a quick $500

i can run the black mustang .

@ Mark, as long as you drive it thru the gates and it has tags and is a daily driver no problem. We want to keep it strictly street cars to make it fair for the imports.

How in the world are you gonna know if anyone daily drives their car?

hell, ill drive mine through the gate from west ashley for $500, count me in

[03SVTCOBRA]

I was gonna say thats cheating for you... but you are one of the few that would meet most street car requirements.

[tkklemann]

I'll F up your little electrical spark of a ride with my Evo as soon as I can find a source for Rocket assisted C-17 launchers.

Im not worried about Randy's, he told me his is stock.. Haha

[BAD BOB]

ill drive my shit in with the damn cooler in the back seat or straped to the trunk! everyone get gapped yo!

[LDELEE]

If it has tags, then it's insured for Highyway use and can be daily driven. Were just trying to come up with some simple rules to keep it an even playing field.

[MonteC]

easy. Real street tires. No radials or slicks, doesnt matter if they are dot approved or not. Show up with real treaded street tires, something hard enough you can get 30k miles out of them. (id go 295 at the biggest).

Thats the only stip you need. If zac, robert, and carl can make it down the track on a set of those then they are in.

[LDELEE]

You may have a good point Montec. I know of a Vette, Supra and Lightning that may enter. The simpler, the better! It's FREE to enter race, It's all about the fun!

[cmd]

It'll be hard to do... Zac, Chris and Robert are all "street" cars but are FAST.
My 2 cents would have to say stock suspension, no fuel cells. Registered and insured a must. Along with all the typical street car things lights,wipers etc....

As if making them drive to the track wasnt enough, this would be the nail in the coffin

[BAD BOB]

power managment! just let me get time to do some testing on a real radial tire and i will try with them

[MonteC]

Then dont enter.

Here's how I see it. The "daily driven" race is like the special olympics, us retarded people want to go against other retarded people.

Then the real olympiads (mentioned above) show up acting retarded and clean house.

Why cant yall just let us retards have something.

[MonteC]

Spend 1000 to make 500. :hysterical:

how bout if i let brandon drive my car? with that put it in the ratard olympics class?

I have to agree here but again, its almost impossible to have a long set of rules and have everyone checked. The arguement over "what a street car is" would go on forever but to me... A normal appearing interior with all the seats, like you said no fuel cell, and a DOT tire would be a simple list to check. Street cars run on radials all the time so i dont see why any DOT approved tire should not be allowed seeing as you can use them on the street legally.

Ugh, because a 8 second car on street tires can be a 6 second car on radials.

Im telling ya, one easy rule, easy to check at the gate. REAL TREADED STREET TIRES.

[03SVTCOBRA]

Ugh, because a 8 second car on street tires can be a 6 second car on radials.

Im telling ya, one easy rule, easy to check at the gate. REAL TREADED STREET TIRES.

Yes but why force the guys running radials and DOT approved tires to go out and borrow/buy a set when they drive the pair they have on the street every day. If its street legal... then it should be allowed on a street car race.

[98nbmz]

We would like to do this race before time change back and before the fair starts. Would it be possible to do it next weekend (Oct 16), is this possible or should we wait until November after the fair?

[LXtasy]

If the only rule is regular street tires and drive in, I might be able to do that. On y2k vette wheels even. As long as track is prepped decent I believe I can make it down it. 500 would be nice.

[mark king]

lol you just dont know. lol

[mark king]

And No fuel Cells!!!!

what dose a fuel cell have to do with it? it dont make it faster if it coming out of a fuel cell or a 5 gal gas can .

the tires and tag and ins is the way.

[mark king]

[chrisheltra]

what dose a fuel cell have to do with it? it dont make it faster if it coming out of a fuel cell or a 5 gal gas can .

the tires and tag and ins is the way.

Im guessing because its easier to switch to race fuel if you have a cell and Im sure they intend for this to be a pump gas only race.

[jmd]

what don't all the grudge racers on the site understand about a street car racing event? :hide:

[Blue Skunk]

Do Nitto NT05 tires (not NT05R's) qualify as a "street tire"? They arent specified as a drag radial by Nitto. Just asking.

[mark king]

mine has a cell in it and all i run is pump gas.

[DolSVT00]

I say just check them for a/c that is the true test. Aint nobody dd something with no ac around here in the summer unless its a pos beater or a race car

[chrisheltra]

It isnt summer any more so youll have to check them for heaters now.

[DolSVT00]

It isnt summer any more so youll have to check them for heaters now.

Doesnt have to be summer nobody goes thru the trouble of taking out their ac because its winter. And that compressor better have a belt on it

[DolSVT00]

They are regular street tires and suck as bad too.

[1iron]

F that my 66 has never had A/C. It is a street car.

[DolSVT00]

F that my 66 has never had A/C. It is a street car.

Because race car

[Blue Skunk]

^^^ True, but they are a lot better than the Goodyear F1 Supercar Tires and a little more safe in a rain storm at 70mph than any of the "drag radials".

[toslow]

Just my $.02. No slicks at all but On that track it's hard enough to hook with e.t streets, can't run a radial on anything over 400 and make any traction. I can't hook up with awd and 400. So tags, 2 seats and I say a radio maybe but ac is iffy. If somebody has got a daily it's gonna have a radio. Ac, I got it but never run it.

[DolSVT00]

F that my 66 has never had A/C. It is a street car.

Honestly paul your 66 is an exception theres very few cars on this site that didnt come with ac. I believe your 66 is a street car ive seen you drive it around and drive it to jackson to race then drive it back.

[mark king]

i thank i will put gas on the towho just for this race . it s got it all a/c street tires lol

[LXtasy]

No ac rule is crap. That's my opinion. That's an expensive mod for us to do that would net nothing bjt a lighter wallet. We would lose what 5 hp? Can't run with ac on going down the track anyways.

[chrisheltra]

All I know is Dorchester will have to be prepped like a mofo or have nothing but two stroke fwd rice burners running who cant spin a tire if they tried.

[chrisheltra]

No ac rule is crap. That's my opinion. That's an expensive mod for us to do that would net nothing bjt a lighter wallet. We would lose what 5 hp? Can't run with ac on going down the track anyways.

Did you just count A/C as a mod? :hysterical:

:miss:

[ForceFed4g63]

I say just check them for a/c that is the true test. Aint nobody dd something with no ac around here in the summer unless its a pos beater or a race car

I don't know if that's true, I took the ac and cc out of my built eclipse to clean up the engine bay and that was a true street car.

[DolSVT00]

No ac rule is crap. That's my opinion. That's an expensive mod for us to do that would net nothing bjt a lighter wallet. We would lose what 5 hp? Can't run with ac on going down the track anyways.

Because it eliminates vehicles built for a purpose. If it originally had ac and it doesnt anymore it was purposely built to be a race car wnd is not a daily driven vehicle. And just because you can suffer and drive it daily does not mean you do.
A/C tells if your lying or not.

[chrisheltra]

I don't know if that's true, I took the ac and cc out of my built eclipse to clean up the engine bay and that was a true street car.

Would you drive it in August at 2pm with the windows up for an hour with a winter jacket on?

I wouldnt. :)

[ForceFed4g63]

Would you drive it in August at 2pm with the windows up for an hour with a winter jacket on?

I wouldnt. :)

That's a bit of a stretch lol, you wouldn't do that even if you had ac. Roll the windows down and I was good to go.

[DolSVT00]

I don't know if that's true, I took the ac and cc out of my built eclipse to clean up the engine bay and that was a true street car.

It was an import and it would get its doors taken off by some of these no ac street cars. Ac interior and tires should be all optional for imports because they need to take off all that stuff just to keep up.

[chrisheltra]

That's a bit of a stretch lol, you wouldn't do that even if you had ac. Roll the windows down and I was good to go.

Id do it in a heart beat in both my truck and my mustang. That junx be blowin ice boi.

[LadyInRed]

All I know is Dorchester will have to be prepped like a mofo or have nothing but two stroke fwd rice burners running who cant spin a tire if they tried.

Like this past weekend lol.

The street car/race car debate will never find an end. I did like Rob's special Olympics comparison :hysterical:

[DolSVT00]

Honestly the tires thing stacks it up on the import side and the AC thing would keep the DD's honest.

The lightnings are out of it because of the street tire requirement, I believe I have the fastest time for a Lightning on regular street tires (non Drag radial) that I know of and it took 3 weeks of trying to get it and it was only a 7.80. I'm fairly certain Tooslow's evo runs in the 7 .teens on street tires with AC....

[ForceFed4g63]

It was an import and it would get its doors taken off by some of these no ac street cars. Ac interior and tires should be all optional for imports because they need to take off all that stuff just to keep up.

Ouch again lol. I'd be careful about making blanket statements though. Nobody likes eating some crow pie.

[Harry]

I think we need to have a $10 race. Everybody put up $10 , put your name in a bag, pull a name and negotiate a race.

[LXtasy]

Because it eliminates vehicles built for a purpose. If it originally had ac and it doesnt anymore it was purposely built to be a race car wnd is not a daily driven vehicle. And just because you can suffer and drive it daily does not mean you do.
A/C tells if your lying or not. Tire rule seems fair. Would be a nice spin fest that would be fun to watch. I guess my neighbors 89 crx without ac and powersteering is a race car. And it is factory. Ac rule is stupid. In our case it is costly to do ac, have to cut frame rails, relocate coilpacks and get custom lines all made. Or cut the hood as top mount ac compressor will stick out. Than there will be a must be a factory hood rule. If you guys aren't going to put street tires than don't race this event

[chrisheltra]

What if I have an A/C that doesnt work anymore? Do I still need a belt for it? Can I still race or should I get it fixed first?

[DolSVT00]

What if I have an A/C that doesnt work anymore? Do I still need a belt for it? Can I still race or should I get it fixed first?

Go to Lowe's, get an A/C inverter and a 89$ window unit and a drip pan. Lay it in the seat next to you. turn it on and watch the belt from the compressor to the fan move... Problem solved.

I agree AC shouldn't matter. From the day I got my 84 Camaro, the AC never worked. Finally just ripped everything out because it was cheaper/easier than replacing it and I didn't mind driving it with just windows down. It was far from a race car ... very, very far.

so in theory i can just put the ac stuff somewhere in the car and then it will no longer be an advantage? thats were it starts to get dumb. the ac really doesnt limit much if you think about it. the tires on the other hand would level the playing field the best!

The fuel cell thing doesn't matter if true street tires are required.

This really is simple.

All you need is a true street tire, insurance and to drive it in the gate. Some of the guys in the upstate did this a while back and it looked like a blast. I believe someone went 7.1x's.

Some of the rules you guys are making are stupid. Hell, it would DQ my slow ass because my A/C is not charged (belt is on), my door speakers don't work (radio does) and my Sumitomo's are 315's.

Keep it simple and stop bitching.

In the end, it will be the same old weekend with the fast guys barely meeting the req and pretending they have a street car. Theres races for those guys every weekend but it seems when a event for the slow guys comes along they still want to jump in. I already know my turd is slow, but it is a factory street car with everything on it. Thats what this event should be about... Factory imports with bolt ons, vs Factory domestic cars with bolt ons. The arguement will go on for the end of time about what makes a car a race car vs a street car so theres no use argueing this...

I agree with you for the most part except the roll cage thing. I dont have one but i definitly dont blame even street cars for having extra safety equiptment. I dont know many daily driven street cars that use a fuel cell... last i looked they still put gas filler necks on cars so you can stop at the pump as you drive.

[silver fox]

Hi I'm Silver fox and my car is a turtle and I drive it to the track. Usually a slow race car is considered a street car. I might run this race if my car fits in. I see both sides. I never been fast and probably never will. Fast = $$$. I don't have $$$ to go fast. Dorchester will hardly hook with a good tire. I don't think they will let a real fast car run on a regular street tire. Somebody get hurt then lawyers and then only place to run is the street. You see where this is going. I give props to the track in doing this and giving back to the small racers. It is the tracks money and race let them make the rules.

[mark king]

I think that was his point.

what that all of the people on her are sceeeeeeeeerd of a car that dont have a/c and has a 15 gal fuel cell . that runs on 93 and with my wife driveing the car that has never been in it . and i can go any were you all go. lol come on. i can under stand if i was trying to put my yellow car in there that runs in the 5sss

[chrisheltra]

Not sure about the other guys but Im scared. I know where I fit in.

[mark king]

Not sure about the other guys but Im scared. I know where I fit in.

i know. your truck is faster then my black car lol so how is that fair?

[bwelch]

I agree with you for the most part except the roll cage thing. I dont have one but i definitly dont blame even street cars for having extra safety equiptment. I dont know many daily driven street cars that use a fuel cell... last i looked they still put gas filler necks on cars so you can stop at the pump as you drive.

I was joking about the roll cage. When we are at the track with Marcus's car and we say its a street car on pump gas they are like"that aint no damn street car look at the promod cage". I think a cage is a good idea to have for safety and it doesn't make your car faster....

I was actually going to run my cutlass without one but after seeing a couple bad wrecks lately I think I'm goin to atleast put a six point in it.

[Carlrx7]

i just bought a six point last week. nhra good to 10.0

This race has sparked much debate on what truly is considered a street car. To try to have 1 class that would accomadate everyone would be nearly impossible. So, we have decided to have 2 classes. Xtreme street- anything goes as long as u drive it thru the gate and have tags and insurance. And True street- regular street tires and tags and drive thru the gate. Both will pay $500 winner takes all. Since we added another class and purse there maybe a small entry fee, no more than $15. Or it might remain free, just depends on the feedback and participation. Hope this works for everybody that is interested in racing that day. I will have the date of race later today. Thanks everyone so far for your input!

[cmd]

Count me in for regular street....

On a side note... I've been REALLY impressed with the track lately with exception to last Saturday.... PLEASE say it's gonna be prepped right escpecially with cars like Zac, Robert, Mark, Chris...etc... it would be a shame to see one of those guys eat the wall

[LXtasy]

Very nice on two classes. Might put on regular street tires again and do some road testing this weekend. Can we atleast run skinnies up front that have regular street tires on them?

[LilRedEclipse]

Damn... you guys are lucky. No one actually builds decent running imports there. When my shit was a street car, actually had interior full exhaust... It would dip down into the 6's on street tires.

Sucks I moved to NC it's too far of a drive to come down and play now.

There's a few Chris, they just never come out lol, hopefully I can change that soon, I'll be picking up a new project shortly. Where did you move to?

[LDELEE]

@ CMD, thnx. We had know idea that we would have the kind of cars that came out last Saturday. The track was prepped with the anticipation of having just imports with street tires. It will be done different
ly next time for sure.

[chrisheltra]

If you prep the shit out of it I may try the street tire race.

[Darryl Buckner]

Id do it in a heart beat in both my truck and my mustang. That junx be blowin ice boi.

I ll enter your mustang and you enter your truck. You get all the money if either of us get anywhere, I just want to drive..:bigthumb:

[Darryl Buckner]

I think we need to have a $10 race. Everybody put up $10 , put your name in a bag, pull a name and negotiate a race.

I got a fogger we can put on the X5, it should do pretty good with traction control and awd..:bigthumb:

[Darryl Buckner]

My car is DAILY DRIVEN and has no AC... for all you nay-sayers its my only mode of transportation...
This is simple
TREADED STREET TIRES becuse streetcar
NO FUEL CELLS becuase RACECAR

I still don't understand the fuel cell delima. I have no plans on putting the LTD in the race, but what does a fuel cell matter. Street tires wont really do a whole lot. For example, I can program my digital 7 box with Kumho tires and adjustable suspension on my car and get around your Camaro on slicks. I have already went well into the 6's on a Kumho. So I know for a fact you give Zac or Bad Bob a couple of passes and they will run good also. Its called power management, and a couple of key strokes on their computers and its on. It will make it interesting with street tires for sure..:bigthumb:

I think you're missing the point of this whole thing. The fastest import last weekend was in the 7's. Now you want to throw cars that are normally trailered and run 5's into the mix? Thats like putting Michael Johnson in the special olympics... I'm pretty sure this was intended for sure enough street cars not ones that can throw on a plate ins. and drive 10 miles to the track. Show me ONE just ONE known street car around here with a cell that drives daily. Gimme a break...

And about your car coming around my camaro at the track... I'd fuckin hope so. You've had your car um-teen years... probably before I was a twinkle in my dads eye.

The whole "get in where you fit in" thing doesn't work when people try to sandbag and fit in a class they would dominate. It's common sense really. Name one local import car guy that would put their car up next to Zacs or Roberts and ACTUALLY expect to win... Didn't think so

Sooo now they've had to create a class just for them because believe it or not.. they're not fooling me... or the track... or LDELEE

[BAD BOB]

well the cool thing is i can still fit in either class. so i guess i will have to either buy new drag radials or new reg radials!

Can you go into details about the rules for each class and what sets them apart from each other? Also a projected date for this event.

I have no intention on wasting my time in a street tire class, espicially with imports, not that they are slow I know of 2 guys who had civics on here that would run 7's, NA. My whole point is the race car thing. You have no idea. The NMRA class I run in is true street, where we have to make a 30 mile drive and after a 30 minute cool down make 3 quarter mile passes, back to back to back. The point is my car is a 12 to 1 compression motor with an AOD. I drove it to Bowman to run in the Top Dog race, I can run 80mph on the interstate at around 2000 rpm. I would easily drive to your house, idle the whole time I waited on you, and then drive to Dorchester, cool down and race. Not saying the mileage would be the best, but I could do it with my 12 gallon cell and 93 pump gas. Due to the times the car runs I have to have a cage, parachute, and a fuel cell. Believe it or not a fuel cell to NHRA is considered safety equipment. When I started in True Street 12 or so years ago, you were not allowed ET Streets and drag radials were nothing then, the best thing we had were McCrearys or street tires. Mine has tags and is insured all year round, and all my DOT equipment works on the car, and it has a full interior, nothing removed but the center console, and thats cause I didnt want to break it getting in and out the car. Like I said I have no intention on running with street imports, ill leave them to you big guy!:bigthumb:

We will be there with REGULAR STREET TIRES ON it. Tagged, insured, and driven on the street. Blazer has had tags and insurance since day one. Has stock gas tank and all. All power options work down to the stereo. Hell I can put cd's in the stock cd player and jam out lol. It has o/d transmission and all.

as far as fuel cell thing or no a/c no interior crap. I guess alot of imports wont race at this event. Fuel cell for one doesnt determine much of anything. I know of several "show trucks" that have fuel cells and they would run slower now than they did bone stock

Easy black and white 'street tire' designation could be treadwear. Stamped on the sidewall of every street tire I know so you can check, under 180 treadwear, you're out. Anything above, in like Flynn.

If a tire has tread or hasn't will always be debatable.

NT01 is a "treaded" DOT legal "street tire" but you're not going to daily drive a car on a set of tires with a 100 treadwear rating.

I think 180 or 200+ would be a good minimum treadwear limit.

Just my .02

Easy black and white 'street tire' designation could be treadwear. Stamped on the sidewall of every street tire I know so you can check, under 180 treadwear, you're out. Anything above, in like Flynn.

So what if someone has both a regular stock fuel tank AND a fuel cell on the vehicle and both of them are in working order?? Does that make it a streetable race car or a racing street car? :mrgreen:

The regular tank is used for pump gas and with some flipping of switches the race fuel is engaged. BTW this is not on my truck. My truck used to have two tanks, but now I only have one that is sumped..... so racecar

sumped is the way to go if you still want to be street car status and run some nasty pumps.
