so who from GA currently has the fastest SFWD car that is running at this time? What is the make/model and setup? What is the 1/4 mile time? Please post serious replies, we'll be putting a bounty on them. Who ever takes the fastest GA racer out during eliminations will get the cash reward.

OK so....I'm going to put this out there, but I will explain logically so you don't think I'm just complaining for my own benefit. Why does the Outlaw Class (which should typically be the fastest) pay out less than the Forced Induction & FWD Classes? Traditionally, the fastest class pays the most money in any sanctioned event.

Now I know along the lines of what will be said is something like.... Import Face has always been more about the grassroots racers and kind of originated around the FWD crowd. The FWD crowd is usually the largest field, so we cater to that class and pay more money. The Forced Induction Crowd (Street Tire Class) has been growing in popularity so it has a high payout as well.

This all makes perfect sense to me. I realize this race has been going for many years and has been almost the only touring race that has out lasted sanctioning bodies like NDRA, NIRA, NHRA for imports, etc.... Props to you for that and thank god you're still going strong.

But there in begins my point. All the big dog race cars have somewhat vanished. You know, all the purpose built drag cars we used to see. To me it seems this is an opportunity for Import Faceoff to step in and revamp what no one else is offering, except for maybe BOI. It seems to me that putting more attention into the Outlaw Class would ultimately promote this event more and put more people in the stands. I mean, I guess from a business perspective, what is IFO's ultimate goal with the progress of their events?
Is it to continually grow and expand these events or is it to keep at the same pace and progression? I'm not saying to take anything away from the other classes, and by no means am I suggesting to over extend your self to try and bring back a NDRA level of race. Cause lets face it, the Import drag scene does not have the popularity it used to. I'm just pointing out that you already have a well established following, but there is untapped market being overlooked that could get some really fast cars out to the track and help put some extra asses in the stands.

Just for an FYI, my car will fit in the Pro Forced Induction Class with the new rule change for 2010....so I'm not trying to promote the Outlaw class for my own personal benefit. Not to mention that there are a hell of a lot faster cars than mine that would fit into this class if they actually started showing up.
I always break anyway.:cheers:

Thanks for yor time and sorry if I wasted it.

I understand where Mike is coming from. But, look at the attendance of that class. If more people showed up or showed intrest then im sure cliff would rethink that class.
Alot of people have sold their hot rod car overseas,since their really isnt anywhere too race it at. So once people start too show up, then im sure the money payouts would go up.
But look at the last few races,how many cars have actually showed up. The FWD class always has people there racing.

gastroker
08-30-2009, 01:46 PM
The attendance could be a direct corelation to the payout. It may not be worth people to bring the big cars out if they only win 350.00 bux. Then again, another couple hundred bux probably wont make them come flying out of the wood work either.
I just wish we could see some really fast cars like we used to. I may try to run both classes in 2010.

BTW, your signature always distracts me...I wish I could slow the pictures down.

Is my Plymouth Voyager turbo considered a compact since it is built on the same (basic) platform as the Omni? I'd be willing to throw my hat in the ring, but I don't know if they would consider mine a compact. It is 4 cyl., FWD, automatic, though!

Got a joke for you!!!! There is a small shop called Slow Eastern Motors in conyers ga that used to blow up sr20's like a punk shittin tube steak. This guy AKA RJ with a silver Toy corolla t28 turbo:screwy: thinks he can beat my blue rx3 that ran a 9.3 on a broke motor. The race takes place at the event Oct 18th..... The funny part is that we agreed on 2hundred bucks and the looser is the next man's TRACK BITC- at the next local event "BAMA".

Oh yeah: The car is not even track ready....No seat time...wrong 2 speed trans..... No cage.....safety cut off..... or a chute...... plus The car never been pass 11sec. The track tec is going to have him for lunch. Please show up cause its going to be crazy that day if I don't get my money:idb:

I know RJ and his corolla. I also know the shop. Those are upstanding guys and they do good work. I can't speak for RJ and his car but hopefully he'll have everything worked out for the race. I guess we'll have to see on the 18th. I'm normally at most of the races so good luck to both of yall. May the lucky setup win b/c that's what's racing is about.

My story is for those that haven't been in the 9's or 8's don't go barking or betting your light bill that your going to do something.... It could be a dark night that week. If you wanna up the pot Mr. Hero I will be glad to take your money also.

Well I can't account for the manners of others but I'm more than happy to take their cash for a valuable lesson.
My car that day would have ran 8's but my track guy stated the track was not prep and slippery up top so I ran a 9.5 first past jogging. Well the motor was done for anyways so the second pass I told the wife I'm going to finish the motor for the crowd. She gave me the thumbs up so fuck it. I went from a mild 35psi to a never ran 45psi or 50psi and if you where there you saw the bottom of my car a bent wheelie bar then at the 8th the motor lockup and I coasted 9.3 at 168.

I aint got time to play with a boy that got his first swap and thinks it a race car.

had a good time, we went 11.7 as the fastest on the 12.3second tune, so we're really happy with that, broke and axle, got it replaced, won the first round, and then lost out in the 2nd round to the 300zx that was running 10.9's....so we're overall pleased, had fun, saw some old faces....jj's going to do some more playing around with the Integra-D and then it takes the winter off for some serious upgrades

Appreciate it, yeah def. good meeting you too, damn your cars quick. :) Yeah this is just my second baseline...next year around June hoping to be in the 13s. :ninja:

Josh finally got down to a 16.5 then my clutch started slipping and it was terrible...but luckily its working enough to get me around now...maybe it was the heat? Anyway with a better rt I would have probably got it down to a 16.3 or just a tad lower, but prob. wouldnt have broken into high 15s. But shit all in all im proud of my car, I mean hell with 426k 2 bad cyls, and it being so old, I shaved mny times down from 18s with the auto and 410k to 16.5 with manual and 426k not too bad. :)

14.3 @ 97 mph. 2.3 60. Street tires / motor

14.1 @ 101 mph. 2.3 60 / shootin 3rd and 4th (no traction :( )

14.1 @ 102 mph 2.5 60 / shootin 1st --> 4th (even MORE no traction - LOL)


(PS: rejetted to 50 shot wet / untuned)

Lessons Learned:

1) no traction sucks.
2) untuned nitrous sucks
3) non-vtec FTMFW

I could stop being a ricer who says "yeah but I had no traction" and engineer a setup that works better for starters.:D That's in the works though.
