Their website says nothing about bikes, and doesn't allow any V8s.

**amped4life33** · 03-16-2009, 12:52 PM

I refuse to go to this event. Not only do they not let V8's run in competition, they wanna bitch about my exhaust...

V8's are always welcome to enjoy test and tune, but there is no class setup for them in competition. There really is nowhere for them to fit in. There is plenty of love for domestics at this event; there were a couple of grand nationals that attended a couple years back that were very consistent competing in showdown. Test and tune is great for someone dialing there car in since you can get plenty of runs in. I don't understand why anyone would have anything to say about your exhaust since everything goes for test and tune.

**fresh_boi** · 03-16-2009, 04:06 PM

haha automatics allowed?

Import Showdown is May 3rd

Auto or manual does not matter. V8's can participate in the TNT.

there's plenty of places for a domestic v8 powered vehicle to race at the 400 other domestic drag races around the area each year besides the little ole 4 or 5 we get per year.

**SPOOLIN** · 04-14-2009, 01:27 PM

WTF i just realized there is not a "modified street" class. That class matched up with what 90% of honda and fwd drag cars are built for. That class was going to be big this year i can tell you that. Now we get to be stuck with a bunch of grand nationals and shit running deep 9's and high 8's. YAY for ruining what was the start of a great class.

haha yeah i know we have about 10 or so cars that were planning to attend but that changed as soon as we saw there wasn't going to be a modified street class thats the class all of them planned on racing in.

**Incontt** · 04-19-2009, 07:46 PM

why are GNs allowed to race anyway? tnt is fine but this is an import race...Buicks have there OWN event with nothing but buicks

yep hot class no doubt, they dropped the ball to quick on that. having an AWD class seperate from RWD is kinda silly seeing as no one else does that and AWD and RWD have pretty much the same amount of bite on the ground.

If i wanted to get my ass handed to me by consistently LOW 9 sec cars i would have just skipped ISD and went to BOTI in orlando today, and got it handed to me by all FWD cars.

**B18c1Turboed** · 04-20-2009, 12:27 PM

After the last ISD it left a sour taste in my mouth. So this doesnt suprise me. I mean come on tehy let a 8sec supra run with no safety equipment at all. And everyone is proud of it. Kinda funny too me...

But o well its a NHRA track.IF they let it go on why not!

yep, this weather has screwed my test n tune up leading to this event, if i dial it in i might have a chance at a semi placement. Just going because i want to run it. Ill be running 10z or maybe a 9 and ill be legal to do it minus a piece of paper that says i made 6 passes that cost more money than a race anyways.

**SPOOLIN** · 04-20-2009, 04:49 PM

anyone got some big ass drag radials i can borrow for this LOL.

has to be 235 60 15z

**gastroker** · 04-20-2009, 11:09 PM

Here's the flyer for the event

**gastroker** · 04-20-2009, 11:12 PM

For what its worth. The Supra has a full cage and a parachute now. So, he is legal.

**NevrNufTorq** · 04-20-2009, 11:38 PM

at least they can still fuss about mine!!!!!

gotta give my boy danny a hard time

**B18c1Turboed** · 04-21-2009, 09:55 AM

hahahahaha!! Nope no fussing here! Safety 1st.... It would suck too die becasue you dont have a cage or chute too stop the car fast enough!
O well... cant win them all!!!!
