top dog?
 
What was this whole top dog thing about it was started and finished before i joined. What would it take to start it back? And are there any major rules for it? Seem pretty cool from what i read of it.

Need someone to be in charge of it. Making rules so that everyone is happy will be the difficult part. I did enjoy participating in it though.

It seems like you would almost need to have 2 classes one for the race cars and one for the street cars so it would be fair to everyone.. I think the less rules the better cause it would be less to complain about.

the only rule before was it had to be a tagged and insured street car, you could trailer it there but back then we did the race at bowman so most people did trailer up.

so if i had tag on my car I would of been able to race in it? Or did it have to be a full "streetable" car?

Tag and insurance. It is fun if everyone is able to work the time out to go.

NesbittRacing1 06-04-2013 05:35 PM

I like them rules simple as it gets. if the races we're set up for Saturday or.Sunday it would be easier for everyone to go to instead of a Friday night

Cant do it. Nobody agrees on the definition of street car and race car.

Top dog is dead and it needs to stay dead.

I think it would be cool to bring back, run it along similar guidelines as hot rod does drag week to determine "street car" status. Leave from a predetermined location as a group, allow chase trucks and trailers, run a 40 or 50 mile trip, pull into the track and run as you sit on the street, only change being air pressure, etc. For race cars only, leave as a convoy, arrive at the track on trailers and run. Both classes being run what you brung and hope you brought enough.

Lmao. OK. If you think that will work here I've got some ocean front property in colorado to sell you.

Unfortunately the street car top dog won't work bc of the issue of that a street car is. Although just having one top dog list works but then the slower cars probably won't have as much fun

1998ta__1991rs 06-04-2013 09:25 PM

Use drag week rules for street car and drive to the track. No trailer cars. Problem solved

People still cry and bitch and try and skirt the rules by trailering and then "driving" through the gate. Nobody is willing to compromise.

Shawnboy, nice avatar

When it was saturday afternoons at Bowman, it was alot of fun. Sunday nights at Dorchester is impossible because everyone really needs to be in a close group and its hard to do at Dorchester

Everyone has a street car till the race gas runs out

NesbittRacing1 06-04-2013 09:48 PM

have a trailer class where if your car is trailered to the track you race cars on the trailer list and if your on the street car list, who ever you call out on the list meet in a mutual spot and both drive to the track same distance together so there wont be fussing about it not being able to make the drive to track and still race

NesbittRacing1 06-04-2013 09:49 PM

or do like bad bob said and just have one top dog list and it be run what you brung and hope to you brung enough
