I am proud to say that we've done work for some mighty fine dragsters and door cars both. Let's be happy for our brothers when a Ford door car wins, and when a Ford powered dragster wins. Like what Phillip Oakley did today at Atlanta.

Not fighting Charlie, just poking fun, sorry if I offended anyone, although

Nick,

Believe me, it is hard to do. We've been through this before and you will have guys say;

1. Stock suspension, 3300 lbs., no power adders, full stock interior, must have working headlights and taillights, must be licensed and driven in the gate.
2. Stock suspension, 3300 lbs., no power adders, max 10.5" tire.
3. Stock suspension, 3300 lbs., one power adder, max 10.5 tire.
4. Back halved, 3100 lbs., no power adder, max 10.5 tire, must have working headlights and tailights, must be licensed and driven in the gate.
5. Back halved, 3100 lbs., one power adder, any size slick, no wheelie bars.
6. Back halved, 3100 lbs., one power adder, any size slick, wheelie bars okay.
7. Tube chassis door cars okay, max 10.5 slick, no power adders, no wheelie bars.

The list goes on & on, but everybody requests a set of rules, that best meets the criteria of their car. So it is very hard to determine a set of heads up rules that makes everybody happy. The weight differences of all the various door cars is especially a "sticking point".

So for right now, if anybody wants to grudge race or match race against anybody else, I'm thinking the best thing to do is pair up, and get over in lane 5 and we run you through on Friday. As always, the final decision on this needs to be whatever Phillip says.

.400 heads up tree with an index.................5.80 works for me

Why not just do some index racing? Just see where majority of the cars run and make the classes. Then all can enter no matter what they race.
Some ideas...
4.50
5.0
6.0
7.0
8.0

It has taken an interesting turn, hasn't it?!!

Do you think this could be the reason Phillip only had 2 classes ?? Box and no-box ??
Sure saves HIM alot of aggravation doing it his way..

That's the type of racing I want to do.

ok, i didnt read all 11 pages, but why the 3000 pounds, where are the real rules?

If you go with the weight thing, does that mean my 4,600lb truck can run 4-link, 2 turbos, 4 kits and big rubber?
