Showdown class for you. Lexan is only allowed in Showdown.

so ill be competing with 10s and lower cars and im a poor lil all motor bseries>>> im open headers also

[DarKStaR]

yep

[gastroker]

look at it this way..you'll probably have the most reliable car in the class. A lot of us break...you could still win.

ima pour oil all over ya slicks lol just kidding.... it would be nice to have a nice all motor class like they due up north... if i put stock doors back on can i be in the Modified/Street class

[gastroker]

that's how it goes. A gutted out lexan race car would be unfair in an all motor street class. Perhaps we could start doing a All Motor race class in the future if there's enough interest.

maybe if i had a kseries it would be unfair but im still rocking with the good old bseries..... and ill be #1 to sign up for a all motor race class

[SPOOLIN]

no, people just need to either decide if they want a random test n tune car, or a car that fits into classes representative of MAJORITY of the racers out there. Not being an ass, just speaking REAL.

I understand what you are saying, however, ive been to sport compact races in new jersey and know that they generally have the same basis for all motor street cars, and forced induction street cars. You car is walking a line between all motor street and pro AM.

[gastroker]

for Modified Street you still have to have the front half of your interior. gutted behind the dash is ok, but carpet and door panels will be required. Ultimately its up to the tech inspector though.

[top_speed]

cool one way or another ill be out there

[LordZed]

cool one way or another ill be out there

Hey at least you asked! Some people wont read the rules and then get pissed off when we tell them what class they can and cant compete in. We simply can't please everyone and the rules we have are generally ment to blanked a wide range of racers and cars. We of course are always open to class suggestions and have made new classes and changed rules on a Showdown to Showdown basis at times to reflect these good suggestions. :-)

[slocussvt]

I'll be heading up there sunday morning. I'll bring the video camera with me since i won't be racing and i can get a shot of your car with the laundry open.

[gastroker]

Who me? Sweet. I've been trying to get a shot of that but my girlfriend "bless her heart" has yet to capture it. My run last Sunday you see it fall out the pack but then she shuts the camera off before it opens up. I was like....damn it women!

Of course, if you're not talking to me...well then I just feel stupid.

do i really have to explain, look through photos of the past events. its always there.

[h22 jones]

Ill be there in the all motor street class just wondering if we can run slicks this year or still only drag radials so ill know what to bring . Im sure everbody would prefer slicks i just hate going to the track and running drag radials but whatever yaw prefer is fine. I also beleive i have two sets of slicks at the shop joey so dont cop out of running with the big boys cause you dont have slicks sir.

lol, Im supposed to be borrowing Nemo's 24s if not i will let you know. You heard the car made its debut sunday didnt you?

[gastroker]

drag radials. no slicks allowed in All Motor.
Sounds like we may have to look at doing a ALL MOTOR race class next season.

deffinly need it

[SPOOLIN]

I dont see what the big deal with slicks in all motor class is. IFO has been doing it for years and its never been a problem.

[gastroker]

im putting the All motor with slicks question in front of the other event crew members. I proposed it be similar to IFO, where slicks are allowed for FWD only. Lexan would still not be allowed if we keep it as one class. If we end up splitting the class to a pro and street class, lexan might be allowed in the PRO class. However, its too late to add another class, so that would only be an option for future events.

[SPOOLIN]

lol it should technically be called Sport Compact Show Down and IFO should really be called Sport Compact Face-Off

[jody754]

down for whatever were gonna bring the banjo's regardless....

[gastroker]

Things are going to stay as they are for this race. The AM class was not intented to be a high competitive class. We may do some changes for the Fall race, but its to close to the date to make changes now. It's not really fair to the guys that have been planning against the current rules to change them at the last minute.

[mr.koupe]

only one week !

[SPOOLIN]

Weather is irrelevant til the day before.

[gastroker]

The weather is only 30% chance and looks like it will push back to the following monday. If I had Admin privelages, I would delete your post. The first rule of Showdown is: YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT RAIN AT SHOWDOWN.

The third is to PRE REGISTER NOW AND SAVE MONEY!!!!
