I was going to have jim do it but I don't have that much cash. I ordered the cage from wolfe craft racing and it is suppose to be hold and weld so that means I am going to ask jose dad to weld it in ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) . He is going to make me bottle brackets also for the nitrous bottle to mount to the cage

So, we are not playing by those rules. There is way more to this event then just the Norcal LS1 vs. CaFords, and that is all we care about. ![[Cool]](cool.gif) The part of the event we are racing in is a heads up our 25 fastest ageist their 25 fastest. ![[dance]](graemlins/dance.gif) ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif) I don't think anyone is reading that part. And as for the rest of the event I think the rules are OK, most head up classes look that way that is why I leaned to bracket race ![[Wink]](wink.gif) . I do not have the money to make a super fast heads up car.

I didn't say I agreed with it. That is my guess at what is happening. I wonder if we will have 25 cars show up. Mine is down right now I am hopping to be ready but you know how waiting on other people goes

Dude for the 10th time the rules have nothing to do with the Norcal vs CAFords race... That is just top 25 vs top 25. Thats all.
Problem with the rules for the main race are that everyone wants to bitch about them yet not 1 person has stood up and offered to help change them. ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)

I see no reason to change the rest of the rules. Those are all heads up style categories, and I think you are never going to please anyone. Basically the person with the very best combo that has a ton of money into it, or is a factory lightweight car that is 1000lbs less then the rest will always takes the heads up stuff(not to mention reaction times). Once again that is why I bracket race, it is the only style of racing that determines if the driver is good, not rich, or willing to bring a swiss cheese race car.
This is the class that everyone keeps referring to.
Heads and Cam Class - 355, 313 CID Limit*2, No Power Adder,*3 Stock Style Suspension, Weight Reduction Allowed, must have interior with carpet and head liner *4 with accessories. Tire Up To 28x11.5W Slick, No Lexan. .500 pro Light
Lets see a 2850lbs race weight CHP Notch 308 AFR205 solid roller Victor 5.0 C4 with proper converter so on and so on. I would be much more scared of this car then any LS1/LT1 head cam 355. I think everyone is missing the point. It is a heads up class if you don't like the rules so what. From what I can see I still think the properly built Factory lightweight is going to win most every time. The car I just listed will run low 10s all day long you name me one 355 LS1/LT1 that will be able to do that without hacking up the car.
My point is lets all show up represent CAFORDS in the grudge portion of the event. Then continue on in the bracket portion or just watch. Lets not give up, and let all of our members down.
Thanks
Don

FL8pony if you would read the other posts that I made in that thread you would have read, that was my opinion on why some people might not be going. I even posted that I might not agree with that reason 2 posts later WTF? dude get over it yourself.
