Thanks for the kind words turbohcar, to be put in the same class as Nates Evo is honorable.

Goat, I want a little of the action too, except for the sword fight

Hmmmm...maybe we should have a side contest on the fastest 14b "stock" car. Fastest ET slip gets the honors or maybe a friendly wager?

It may be a noodle, but it was still a tight fit, needle boy!!! I'd consider a little side action, but I need to see what this thing can do first. I've only driven it about 2 miles!!

^^^

where is this event???? I would like to bring the GSX down and see what she can really put down for numbers.

count me in, although I have a feeling that I will have to run in the street modified class with the EVO III 16G.

Alright alright, that's enough Annie jokes. Don't make me go KUNG FU!

where is this race at. far drive from MO?

i'm not married, i dont have a wife bossing me around!

what exactly do you concider "stock" 14b?

14b w/ported 7cm housing and other upgrades to the motor, or just bone stock with free mods and boost controller?

Stock as in what came out of the factory. At least that's my understanding.

According to the class rules Marcus posted, it says "Cars with turbochargers can use only the manufactures stock turbo". So I guess porting is ok

I guess Marcus will have to clarify the rules.
-Are aftermarket UICP and LICP legal?
-I assume FMIC would be illegal since they're not stock?

For those asking I believe the location will be Cordova Dragway Park in Cordova, IL.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I'm pretty sure the Evo will be sold by then. I hope to have the Talon up and running with some new toys for the SCDC.

The rules have been kept fairly simple and mean what they say and only what they say. The items specifically called out are the only items that will clarrify the class you fall in. What the rules don't specify are up to interpretation. Walking too close to the line may put you in the higher class on race day though.

Which means that you must use a stock OEM turbo on the car, not a 16g/20g on a 1g or a 14b/T28 on a 2g to be within the rules. Big advantage to the evo's with the 16g stock. Factor in that the rules don't prohibit meth/water injector and you've got the makings for a very low 11 second evo to take the class. cheater turbos like the white rabbit on the evo could make et's drop even faster for those who want to win no matter what.

My evo would be sitting in street stock and could be a possible contender even without water/meth injection but my gsx would be severely outclassed it it's group.

what we had done last year is allow 16G cars in the street stock class. it worked out pretty well.

And the heavens hath opened.....

ok so how much track time will us that have slow ass cars actually see? my dsm just doesnt have enough at the moment to be competitive

Hmmmm....how is that stock turbo then?

16g's not that much than a 14b anyway

For the sake of time required to inspect as many cars as we expect for this event, we will not be pulling things apart to verify if a turbo is a 14b or a 16g. If it looks stock it will be considered a stock turbo if the owner chooses that catagory.

As far as the number of runs that will be available for Test & Tune... We won't know for sure until race day. Test & tune will be run through-out the day in between classes and will cost much less than in past events. It can safely be assumed that the number of T&T runs will be reduced this year compared to the all day runs we have been blessed with in the past.

I think the bad a$$ cars and crazy competition will more than make up for fewer T&T runs anyway!

I'm thinking street fab for me, but DAMN i love the pro-tree.......

Because of the slicks?

BTW - PRO TREE Kicks my A$$

Im sayin....

I'd run the street fab because I have a chance to be competive, but I dont like the idea of a sportsman tree...I am running ET Streets, those are DOT, so they'd work

However

If I didnt feel like i was going to get my baby bottom spanked in the quick 16 I'd run it because I love tree'ing people I was cutting .08-.09 R/T's at IRP

what about little frank jr.?

I didn't know that was your name, !

yup and frank jr. will be kicking some ass this year.

is there a new date yet?

I think Marcus posted July 2 in another thread, but I'm not sure. I'll let him clarify.

Yes, July 2nd is the new date. It is posted up on AMS's list of Events on their web site. I am still working on the details and I will disperse the info as soon as I have it all together.

Thanks for the interest!

should work for me! thanks

UPDATE:

I have been really busy here but I finally found time to make some phone calls looks like we will have the following product sponsors on board:

Ross Racing pistons
TiAL racing Products
Autometer Gauges
Precision turbo
Working on Exedy clutchs right now
And of course AMS will be offereing some Gift Certificates as well.

Once I get it finalized I will release the payout schedule.

Eric

sweet!

so who all's shooting for street stock?

Street stock here!

Me too! Oh wait a minute

In the 3000 yes....

In the orange beast...I like to see that thing on the street again!!

I hpe the GVR4 passes for street stock

Hell I hope mine is running by then so I can go.

ditto!... except mine already runs... i'd just like it to be running right

There's always room for friendly competition.

Are you going to bring the VR4 or the Talon Mitsu90?

I'll have some friendly competition for you....

well if I ever get the talon on the road it will not pass for stock, I most likely with bring the galant. i want to see if I can get a 12.99 out of the stock FMIC.

well that turbo might look stock................to a blind man

spy, you're in a class of your own....

ummmmmmm, what class would I even be in? why go from stock block cars to stock block with a few mods to a full balls out engine swap class? where's the go between?

netter you silly billy... your car is all stock

Netter, from what I hear your car is balls out. That class is for you.
PM me on what you think will put your car out of the Street Modified class.

What are some of the things that will kick you out of the street stock class? You mentioned turbo, what about things like GM MAS, clutch, battery relocation, I/C piping, exhaust... you know the more popular mods.

factory stock?? so if I get a JDM galant intercooler would that be considered factory stock? it did come from the factory

why are we nit picking the rules..... I have an idea.... write a list of the mods done to your car that you are claiming..... have a tech at the track look at your car..... the tech then decides if your car can run in the class you pick to run in or if you have to change to the next up class.

so we don't have to move up a class
