I understand exactly what you are trying to accomplish, but your current rules have more holes in them then a fishnet. I was just trying to help solve that a little. It really doesn't bother me. The way it stands i could enter a 10.5 outlaw car in your " Street Car" race if i had one.

If that "10.5 outlaw" car you have fits my rules then by all means, bring it on.

Hell a pro mod can almost be made to fit your rules. :hysterical: All BS aside though, I Hope everything works out and everyone has some fun. That's all that really counts.

Changed the muffler rule for the turbo guys.

Alright, I can race then.

I hope it all works out too. I want to keep it simple...I've been involved with a few different street car series that always get so screwed up they fade away. Tried to do it at Darlington...they wanted a bracket race instead of heads up. 710 dragstrip's king of the street race is a damn joke...they don't even need a rulebook, it all depends on how Glenn is feeling that particular day. This year they aren't even making the cars be tagged and insured. The PFSC was an all mopar headsup series that dissolved after 2 years b/c they kept changing the rules so much that everyone said to hell with it.

Noone is gonna bring a high caliber car to a race like this that has no money involved.
You can't limit drivetrains at all. I don't agree in limiting suspension style b/c people have been driving big tire backhalved pro street cars on the street for decades.

This is for FUN.

Matts94Z28 02-23-2010 06:03 PM

I'm just looking forward to having some fun!

Quote from the rules:

Top Dog List

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TDL: The top dog list just a friendly list of local racers that love to race.

Rules:car must be registered and insured by you. no lexan windows and no delay boxes. trans brake ok. Only family member can drive your car.

all callouts will go in a thread i start (TOP DOG CALLOUTS FOR MONTH XXX)on the 1st of each month. Do not start your own thread. it will get deleted. The callout thread will last for 7 days. in the 2nd week of the month, a list of races will be posted.

*****important, when you do a callout, your calling out a spot. not a particular person. buy the time you get to race, the person you thought you were going to race may have advanced or declined on the TOP DOG leader board******

3rd weekend of every month we will race at Bowman on a saturday
cars that dont show up for their callouts will lose their spot on the list and will be counted as a WIN for the person doing the callout. if we have a rain out/ or special occasion we will move the race to the 4th weekend.

All races will run on a Pro Tree and a red light loses.

TOP DOG and MOST WINS will recieve Prizes at the end of the year. WINS will be posted next to each members name. driving to the track will earn you a win credit

TOP DOG will start ASAP in the Spring of 2010

...and remember this list is just for fun.




Big Hemi and Ray,
Thanks for the effort. I agree with keeping it simple and letting as many people from this site in as possible. I hope everyone will give this a chance and not argue before it starts. I personally think the most wins will likely come from a car somewhere in the middle of the pack from a street driven car.

Are we still going to rotate between bowman and dorchester?

me and mike got a commitment from Bowman to open on a saturday and give us a couple lanes to use for our races. also all the races will be run on a pro tree. plus it will only be $10 to race so Bowman it is and we thank them for their support

Matts94Z28 02-23-2010 06:36 PM

Should be funny watching me on a pro tree for the first time.

I just reread the rules. Thanks for the clarification.

WWhittle 02-23-2010 07:02 PM

From the sounds of ya'lls arguements and descriptions of your cars, mine is more of a streetcar than ya'll! full interior minus the backseat, power windows, locks, all lights work, DOT tire, full glass, stock suspension, both front seats, carpet, etc etc etc.

Sounds like I have a real fast street car and ya'll have some slow ass race cars. All I need is $50 and i can get a tag. LOL.

Don't plan on racing at Dorchester or Bowman very often. Ya'll can have the fun and I will just watch from the sidelines.

How about the winner gets the back tires from me at the end of the year.

:ty: That's the exact point i was trying to get across to them. If the true aim is to make this an actual real street car event, then those set of vague rules suck more then Jenna Jamison in a room full of cocks.

chrisheltra 02-23-2010 07:45 PM

^^^ Funny shit

Whaler 02-23-2010 07:55 PM

The first line in the rules reads:

TDL: The top dog list just a friendly list of local racers that love to race.

Mike, quit complaining if you're not entered. Your car has been as fast as anything entered. No where does it say "actual real street car event". If Wes wants to enter, let him half track everyone. Who cares? It's about getting a group together to race and have fun. No one is losing an entry fee to be there.

I have no interest in being part of this Ringling bros. circus at the present time. I'm just picking apart the rules because they seem to be catered to race cars with an identity crisis.

I never said wes shouldn't be allowed to race. I was pointing out the fact the rules are too vague to be effective in accomplishing anything. They should drop the sherrade and just say TDL Run what you brung instead of trying to pass it off as something its not.

And this is where the street car race is stated. I can qoute things too. :poke:

Matts94Z28 02-23-2010 08:16 PM

LOL, this thread might be full of win

chrisheltra 02-23-2010 08:17 PM

As seen from my perspective:

If its slower than me its a "street car"
If its faster than me its a "race car"

I sit right in the middle with a "fast DD"

haha

Matts94Z28 02-23-2010 08:21 PM

I think everyone needs to take the rules with a grain of salt. There so many variables, other than the rules, that could come into play. Just come out, do some racing, and have some fun. I don't think anyone will have high expectations considering it's not a 10k to win series, lol.

I agree with Chris in a way...

If it's faster, then I suck.
If it's slower, then it must be a 4 cylinder.
