Different classes!

How about creating diff track ladders for ppl around the same class, so races will be closer and more interesting, instead of knowing the outcome before the race even begins! just an idea

Can you give me a little more detail of what you got in mind? The track ladder is meant for race cars. Are you wanting a street car track ladder?

Street cars is what it's all about....who gives a shit about race cars. That's like having a fast bike, no one gives a shit.

You must not own a race car lol

10 and 11 second street cars are fun but wheels up single digit passes are much better.

street or track ladders, just want to see more even races, you know cars in the same class. like you cant call someone out whos in the 12s knowing your car is 11s or better and an easy kill just to take over the spot

Well I can agree to that but we would need an "unlimited" class a 10 second class, 11 second class and 12 second class.

Whose to say people won't sandbag though?

I'll be sticking with wheels down 9 sec passes for now....but I've had one street/race car. Backhalved 4-link tube chassis 93 RX7 w/ a Ford 9", Moser axles, 2JZ 88mm turbo, 100 shot of nitrous for spool, Powerglide w/ brake, NHRA legal down to 8.00....but it was supposed to be a street car. When I first moved to Houston I even contacted Garret about doing some work on it, but found out that Houston was more of a roll race kind of town and my trailer queen was going to get little action here since it was built as a street car to run for money back in St. Louis. The chassis was built by Jerry Bickel up in St. Louis.

Should of kept it. Roll racing is gay LOL

I plan to have a little of everything. The TBSS is a family hauling SUV that holds its own. The coupe is a street/strip car that will put in work on the track and street if things get serious. Than we also have a little something in the works for the streets.

I enjoy the street car aspect far more with the Z than I did with my last FD. It had good intentions, but wanting to go faster and faster, I turned it into a race car that I pretended was a street car. Rolling around Houston in a 2spd tube chassis car and a set of Kirkey's....it wasn't for me. I sold the car to a race shop outside of D.C. and I sold my trailer to Tiago down here locally in Houston. At the time it was my only "toy" car and I hated owning it. I just like to drive fast cars, but I want to be able to drive them. My goals for the Z are to be close to 150mph traps in a fully functional street car. There will be no question about it's purpose. A/C, power everything, no cages, no safety crap, Nav, etc...it will be exactly what it was when it left the showroom floor, only faster.
