IMPORT FACE-OFF drag classes: Oct. 18, 2009 at Atlanta Dragway

[GSRcaucAZN78]

The class structures and names have been changed a bit for the IFO series. Most importantly, there are two new “SPORT” heads up classes for the budget racers who are tired of bracket racing. These two new classes are becoming very popular and are typically filled with 11 to 13 second street cars. The next IFO near Atlanta is on October 18th, 2009 at Atlanta Dragway.

cliff why is slicks not allowed in pro version of the FI classes but they are allowed in the sportsman side?

[Da_unknown]

[-S Double C-]

im deffinately there but if the build is done i look forward to seeing a few of these all out drag cars in my rear view mirror Then ill laugh as they complain about me having no cage.

Because FI pro is actually the old "Street Class" so we have to keep those rules until 2010 since there are some points racers who set up their car sspecifically for the current rules. If we just changed the rules mid season there would be a lot of pissed off racers.

In 2010, FIP will allow slicks, open exhaust, and out of manufacturer motor swaps.

No need to complain, Commerce is a very strict track. After you run so fast they will have you go back thru tech. Its happened to me alot, they are strict but looking out for eveyones safety. Thats a long way too tow a car, just too be kicked out.
I hope too have the car running by then, but will see as it draws closer.


P.s can you bring my motor with you!!!!:boobies:

tell me about it ill probably get kicked off first pass...lol and im hoping im not gonna need a parachute? how fast do you have to go before you need one? and of course ill have your MOTAR!!!

[B18c1Turboed]

I dont think they really care about a chute on the car. I know peter was trapping well over 150mph and they never said anything too him. His cage wasnt even certified, but they did make sure he had a cage in the car.

If you trapping over 135 mph they gonna check for a cage, Drivers jacket, helmet.I think that was all they looked for.


You better go out and get some practice now. Its easy making the power, the hard part is putting it down in a FWD car. I have leanred that over the years.

You can make a 1000hp but if u cant keep the wheels from spinning, you aint winning.

[SPOOLIN]

yeah curious to see this magic first race car go faster than everyone in the area.

how can someone think its cool to come all the way to race just to be told that their done for not finishing their race car. ?

cause if its done and i feel like driving it ill bring it. who said its cool? not me. and bro i know how to drive, i wont need but maybe 3-4 shakedown passes and ill be good to go, But besides the point i think it will be more like november before i get it up and going cause im gonna change manifold designs and maybe get a fuel system that will support 700+...and possibly thinking of droping my swap in my del sol instead of this ridiculously light ef.

Shoot we building a crx that will be around 1800+lbs with 800+hp.... Brian ballard used to run a crx and it was super light and he ran 9s..
Just add weight up front.

[SPOOLIN]

Nothing special. I'm just building another street car.

[-S Double C-]

[TS240]

Ha Charles was telling me about your old del sol the other day at the shop. lol

[Jenson]

I gotta buy some lexan since I'll be in the pro class. Who drives around with interior anyway?

[GSRcaucAZN78]

What kind of car and what does it run?

[Jenson]

EG Hatch, should be in the high 12's on slicks. I know its way to slow for the pro class but it'll be fun to race again. The only interior is the seats and all of the dash components. Guess I should've said the All motor pro class.

[SPOOLIN]

Ha Charles was telling me about your old del sol the other day at the shop. lol

im sure he was making fun of my old "show" car....but i had a 400hp del sol also.

[SPOOLIN]

cool i thought about maybe using my coupe for my sfwd, whats your weigh do you know yet? also matt whats your car weigh in at?

mine weighs in at about 2550 with me in it right now. Im going to start shedding some weight off of it soon...I can find 150pounds lurking on it somewhere.

[all-mota]

finding that much weight is always hard to do. you start thinking of all the little things that all add up haha

They checked my car for a window net too. If you start running 9's they will ask to see your chassis cert and ask if you have an NHRA license, atleast that's what they did to me. Commerce and Gainesville, FL both booted me for not having them.

[GSRcaucAZN78]

FORCED INDUCTION PRO RULES HAVE BEEN UPDATED... slicks, open exhaust, and out of manufacturer motor swaps now allowed! All points racers have agreed to the new updates before 2010.
