I may start going to this again,but anyone know if they fixed the classes?Last time i went in 07 they put my stock t2 rx7 up with some crazy modded fb rx7....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1HjFTUnExU&list=FLWi9Ax1S1MsQQ5D8JWYHaFA&index=601&feature=plpp_video i blew the clutch on that race but i didnt have a chance anyway....its the 2nd race..

I used to go last year...the classifications of the cars are not right though. I used to race a 09 tundra supercharged and they would put me in the same class as single cab old school chevys with built 454s with 150 - 250 shots of nitrous and cut out beds and as well as diesels cranking out 800-1000hp!! I quit going because of that reason....they need better grouping.

Same thing if your running a turbo civic or something - you are put in the TUNER class and their could be a stock internal d series with 220whp and built b series with 500whp in the same class???

But I haven't been in awhile, does anyone know if they changed it?

I believe the classes are still like that..... Idk.. I drive all motor honda... I get put in the compact class, As I should be.. The tuner class and Compact classes, are pretty spot on.. IMO ( most of the time)

I dunno...this guy has been in the TUNER class this year and is winning every week.

Kinda seems unfair.

that's fucked up....the rules clearly state no race cars allowed....that is clearly not a street car....hell it's not even street legal so it must be considered a race car. hell its gotta weigh less than 1000lbs and its in a power adder class so it's making prolly at least 300hp if not more. i have no clue what's in that thing.

O yea!!! lOl.. I forgot about that buggy... Yea it IS unfar forsure!

Yeah...its kind of whack that that buggy is in that class. And thats the class I would be in...and I'm going to have fun...but also want to have a chance at winning!! But apparently this guy likes getting a trophy every week. ...and it was the same way with my old supercharged tundra...they had like 800-1000hp diesels in the same class. And then had others with old regular cab trucks with cut out beds...slicks...built 400+CI engines with like 150-250 shots of nitrous.

We used to go each week in 2010 - and us and a couple other folks complained at the end of the season to Ted (I think thats his name) that it is unfair and needs to be classified a little beter. And they claimed they were going to work on fixing it....but I guess they haven't.

Man whatever, there is a 400ish HP civic with dragradials in the same class. this dude just has a Rail buggy with one of those porsche beetle motors. if I remember right they make 220ish. and its not like he beats their ass, it is close for sure. If we are going by rules, he's legal for the compact class. I know because he ran it half last year. the rules also say that if you win 3 times you get bumped up to the next class. so if you win a lot, you get bumped. sounds fair to me.

I totally agree that the classes are loose, but the fact is if they ran them "right" they would have 25 classes and 3 people in each one. If you want to talk about an unfair class, go run in Domestic there are 50+cars in that class and its the same 5 in the finals each time.

MANNN WHATEVVAAA!!!

LoL...thats why I was asking...I haven't been in awhile but the LAST time I went...It was pretty unfair in my class. Didn't know they "bump" you up

Anyways....I hope to be there the first or 2nd friday of June!

Honestly driver ability is soooo important. I cant tell you how many races I shouldnt have won but did. My car I just had a better reaction time and launch than the other person. My POS 88 single cam civic was beating RSX's and B-swap civics because I knew how to drive.
