donno if i'll get to participate but i definitely plan on going, this will be my first one

 

Tony,
you guys go in a convoy from Texas? My car will be in Dallas or Houston that time of the year and so will my truck to tow it. Who else convoys from Texas?

 

Yes we will have a convoy again. You are more than welcome to join us. It will be myself, Kyle, Ray, Moe, Todd, plus more in the convoy.

 

Tranny issues sidelined me from making my first appearance last year. Should be good to go this year. Who else is coming down from PA?

 

My car is in no shape to compete in this, but I'd love to go and watch some LTX's rip it up

I guess what I'm getting at is...

The only people who can be competitive in that class will be those with:

Ported Heads/Cam/Forged Bottom End

Meaning, they will rape people without a forged bottom end. Running upwards of 7k rpm. A heads/cam car vs a heads/cam car with a forged bottom ends usually means no contest.

Those with full bolt ons, stock ported heads and cam and no power adder can't really hope to have a chance.

 

I'm confused at what your asking/getting at? Are you talking about the Extreme Street N/A? I ran my stock bottom end to 7k with no problems for quite some time. "Bolo" was running low 11's with just heads and cam, so I don't see how you couldn't be competitive without a forged bottom end. Now Extreme Street P/A would be a different story, reliability becomes a forged bottom end advantage.

Which class do you speak of?

 

any word on whether or not there will be a car show 2 go along w/the racing?

 

Sorry, had the wrong window opened when I posted that last one. I was talking about the Extreme Street N/A class. Running a stock bottom end up to 7k is just asking for it. Yes, there have been some quick cars doing it without one, but for the most part, heads/cam stock bottom end cars will get beat down in this class and are too modded for the bolt on class.

 

A 10.96 won that class this past year. Just looking at it the average car was mid to high 11's. I have seen stock bottom end with heads/cam cars hit low 11's with ease which can be very competitive in this class. Remember, the fastest car in the class does not always win. You should come. I promise you will have a blast!
