Thank you sir ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
You happen to know what the avg weight of the cars are sans any ballast?
I guess what i'm asking is if they are close to making weight and just need a little to comply or are they featherweights with very strategic ballast plaecement?
Our SN95 single turbo SBF mustang could easily hit 2900lbs with driver/fuel if we wanted! My freinds nitrous SBC mustang comes in at 2500lbs w/ driver easily! Crazy what you can do!

Well a small block nitrous car on the MT could potentially be 2750 if I remember right! All depends on the combo. Not everyone races at 3400 because they have a bad dude combo. We are at 3200ish because under 360inch, 88mm reducer (98mm turbo), non intercooled, etc.....just gotta read the rules and build what works for you! Lots of trial and error though. We raced 2 years in Limited 10.5 just getting a handle on things.

as long as things to go plan.....we'll be there early on Friday to get situated for the TNT that night. We should be onsite by 3 or 4ish. Most guys will come early and setup the trailers since they leave them overnight. Look in the 8.5 section of the pits and we have a white square body F250 and a silver mustang with bandaids on the side lol

I won't be there until late Friday night, as I'm just coming to watch and help where needed. The racers and pits are open, so walking around will allow you to see the cars up close and shoot the shit. Have someone direct you to Tim Rigby so you can introduce yourself and ask any specific class questions you might have to the man himself.

So is it better to just come down on Fri for TNT to allow more time to check things out and ask questions
Or would Sat be better for racing action?
I just don't want to get in the way during race day ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)
I will try and look for you guys and introduce myself so one of you can maybe point me to "THE MAN" but to make things easier just keep an eye out for an asian guy wearing an FFTEC MOTORSPORTS t-shirt ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
