    I know my friend would love to do this, if you dont mind racing a pick-up. What else would be in the v-6 class besides the accord and tiburan? I would race my POS but you would need a calender for my ET

    Agreed, this seems fair.

    No problems, ill be racing my pickup too, probably, if we can make this work-out. Its a v6.

    Im thinking we dont want to get too complicated with classes, but its up to the general concensus. I agree we want it to be fun for everyone, so we need to have some balance. Im thinking in reality, this will just turn into a free-for-all grudge match, which is certainly cool also. Import vs imports are fine too, but in the interest of the theme, we should schedule those after the import vs domestics.

    Good feedback guys, keep the suggestions coming. Its cool to see people are on-board with it.

    If youve got other track suggestions, shoot me a PM. It seems a lot of 1/4 mile tracks are pretty booked on weekends already. We might have better chance at an 1/8th mile track, and it would be cheaper. The problem is that it will put a lot of turbo cars at a disadvantage against the domestics.

    What do you all think about 1/8th mile?

    I sent an email to the track director at Steele to ask for specifics on these types of events there. Ive never been to that track, so it would be new for me.

    I havent seen too many of the normally-vocal domestics responding though, hopefully they didnt all get banned or something haha

    I am willing to participate. Be nice if it was after july cause I am still waiting for my rods to come in. Oh, mine is not a trailer queen, it is street driven but will be trailered to the track just in case something breaks. Just dont want to pay a huge tow bill.
