Here is an idea, make the preregistration list...except make it so that anyone who plans on running there vehicle needs to be to the track by the time alotted(gate opens at 4 give until 5:30) if youre not there by 5:30 and you have not contacted one of the hosts then your spot will be given to someone who is there waiting to run...

As for the race cars...i would much rather run behind two 1200+hp cars than run behind two 16 second cars, atleast i will know if the track will hook following the 1200+hp cars....

As for the "street car" debate...that is a never ending battle with some of the HOMOs around here...if it has all the shit required to be street driven and you cannot be ticketed for anything then that is a street car....hell look at Jerry's car...9's and everyone says its a street car but yet they all say that your car isnt(67chevelleSS) if that is a street car and 67ChevelleSS's isnt then my shit must be BONE STOCK!

There's always a massive influx of paid people at 7-8PM...

i like that idea z06 killa, Make them be there by 530 or somthing. I think that we should do just a few less cars, for when somthing happens like last night, there will be a recovery... but its not that big of a deal, i had a fun night.

Very, very good idea.

I'm just saying "race cars" basiclly own the track events for 6 weeks, then TR does an event for "street cars", I just think one event out of 2months of race car events isn't asking too much. I've gone on Saturdays and watched race cars do John force burn-outs and still get twice as many runs as me. Wheither its a slow honda or not, from start to finish a street car gets on the track and down the track faster generally.

10.5 was a little too slow, the camaro was bad ass ( not sure how "streetable" it is ), but either way, I really liked it !!! But the 50's corvette that wrecked last time ( or sometime, I'm pretty sure I've seen it hit the wall ) and looked to wreck last night is what I'm talking about, why can't those cars stick to wrecking on Sat. morning and wasting those guys track time...

If your there to see super fast cars, just goto FFW or Gator-nationals, I don't come to watch...

But I guess you guys are right, I should just be happy to get some track time, but I really think the race cars could come on a better day... If I was driving a race car, no way I would want to follow street cars...

I can't see what would be so hard about the pre-pay system... You pay, you come in at 4pm run at 5pm, you try to sign-up and don't prepay, you wait till 7:30 like eveyone else that "thinks they can MAYBE make it"...

What was deal with being forced to drive through the water box ?

ABSOLUTE.

NIGHTMARE.

Maybe a mass-emailing should go out a random number of days before the announcement/registration of the upcoming event to let people know that if they care, they better be on their toes.
Newsflash: Back in the day, you had to prepay to get on the prereg list.

Your the only homo around here to make a comment like this about my car. My car has 15,000 miles on the street from the time it was built. Less than 5 miles at the track. Full interior, a/c, p/s, radial tires, 93 octane. Always driven to the track always driven home. Not really a single compromise on my car that would classify it as a race car.

I guess the comment comes from the fact your extra four cylinders on race gas aint doing a whole lot to keep up with the little yellow beast.

Oh shit, LOL


Z06 Killa, you cant be seriouse about jerry's car not being a street car. The thing is is daily driver, he goes everywhere in it.

I cant wait until you get slicks. I will post a video of your 1/8 mile run so these people will know what a full interior street car is.

Again you are a moron. The 56 Vette is my dad's car which he has never wrecked....Ever. He didn't have any problems with his car at all other than blowing the tires off from the track going away, and he still got off the track quicker than you finishing your whole run. I can understand if it's a pro-mod car. Even then, what is there 5-6 big cars out there?? How long could they possibly take to get down the track??

Other than the Nova having a fire, which didn't mess up the track at all...The only cars that did mess up the track were "street cars."
