Friday Night Fights: August 8th @ Island Dragway
The annual tradition of kicking off the East Coast Nats weekend with the traditional Pony Car war continues. A simple format that is more about having fun than anything else brings us together to celebrate the best that GM and F*rd have to offer.

Join us Friday night at Island Dragway, as we run the 1320' to settle the great question of who really is better. To see the planning and details of the Friday Night Fights please follow this link.

Only racing for the firebird this year is to Wawa to replenish the air in the tires. I do intend to bring the FORD MUSTANG up for the Friday night event running Bracket 1. What do they mean by self dial? My car does self dial at times (runs a different number than on the window which is usually .04-.08 quicker).

 

If your car is equipped with a self dial then it will always run the correct number. This is opposed to the driver Dial in. So if you use the self dial-in, and you miss your dial-in then it's the cars fault, no the drivers!

I think that was meant as opposed to you having to use your best qualifying past, ala trophy marathon type index.

 

Ah I remember the trophy marathons. That's where you add 200lbs to the car, make 2 "qualifying" passes, then remove the weight for elimination rounds. Shoot I just gave away my index racing strategy.

 

Just adding some info. I got some PMs here so I know a few plan to come out. Island Dragway - the site of the 1st NHRA 200 MPH run - is in a beautful part of the state.

Clarification:
Q: Th350/400 OK for street classes? Some LS1 guys are using TH350/400 and want to know if they can run in classes other then outlaw. Per the rules, a "stock style" trans is needed in all classes other the outlaw.
A: Yes you can. Any GM TH auto trans qualifies as stock style. Same rules still apply (ie we don't allow transbrakes).
