Throw some 275s on your car and they will be for sure.

All I have is a butane lighter. Might take awhile.

Well, damn. NAWSSSS, it is. In fact, make it two of'em and D, I need'em by the 9th.

[STROKD]

I'm down to try that for sure. After my first round of mods 7.0 class will be perfect. Sounds like a lot of fun!

[Slow Five-O]

The 7.0 class is fun. There are street cars and race cars there. The class is pretty tuff. Those guys are on their time every time and have good reaction times.

There were only 2 street cars left after the first round this weekend and we're both regulars. The other car is an 08 gt500 with a stick. He always goes a few rounds and has won it before. Excellent driver. I went 4 rounds, which i was real happy about and lost to the guy that won the event. My times were 7.02 6.999 7.004 and 6.97. I got treed on the last one and was having to play catch up. The 6.999 pass was a double breakout and obviously i broke out less.

It's all about getting your car to run a 7.0 and then you just being on your reaction time and driving game.

Sounds like fun to me. I like that it takes the big money players out of it too. No electronic aids either, correct?

Thats Mike in the 08 GT500. Hard to believe he just got out of a cast for a broken right hand only a few weeks ago. Still out there given em hell rowing through gears.

[Slow Five-O]

Correct. No transbrakes, throttle stops, 2 steps.

[Bigminz]

We were just hoping to get some fans out to watch that loved racing. Some of you may say, "we can do this" and build a car.

We are just razzing ya, don't take it personally. I love 275 racing. I think it's some of the most exciting racing out there. Those guys going that fast on a small tire is nuts! BUT... I'm not dropping $100k to build a car that sits 99% of the time and costs $500 bucks a weekend to go racing. lol

give me a $100000 budget please. LOL


Most of us have nowhere near that number. I'm willing to bet some of the guys that run with us have less in their cars than some of the street cars on this site.

I suppose I was thinking more of the KOTH cars when I typed that, but still, it's a lot of money for a car that doesn't move very often. :bleh:

[TrueStreetTim]

We'll be there!

[STROKD]

Racing sounds fantastic, but after reading a lot aboit cars like mine with similar motors, i think my car will be wayyyyy too fast for the class. And a stick car where i have to hit the brakes at 600 feet is going to be impossible to judge and be consistent. Id be better off in the c6 with a converter and headers. Itd run 7.0s like clockwork. Lol

Im way ahead of myself as the car isnt running, but just thinking outloud about it. Class racing is fun as hell, just hope i can partake soon.

Get it together, then see where you're at. You can always lower shift points if you're not too far off.

What about pulling timing? I know doing so with boost kills mad power, if its na would it do the same, or would i have to take out like 10 degrees to slow it down a qtr second or so? I assume you do something to dial your car in so close to 7.000?

[STROKD]

It won't have as much effect na but it does make a difference and is a good option.

Mine is just a good setup for it. Normal h/c/i car. Safe on the timing and tune with a 50 shot and I've got my number.
