UP-dates. I try to get to this Forum as often as I can, but I'm sure it's not often enough. I'm going to reply to the comments posted by Ruthless later today. Thanks for coming out the FLD's. As far as you getting "shrugged off" at the events, it's never my intention to blow anyone one off, sorry. Please make sure you see me if one of our helpers shrug you off. I put a ton of time into these events and I know you races do as well, keeping the events healthy is one of my goals. So as long as people are talking about improvement for the event I'm on board. Not everyone will like the final decisions, because it might seem to benefit one group over their personal needs. So as Ruthless said, "lets remain calm" and civil. More later.
Thanks again...Michael

Street car definition is always a heated debate--everyone has different experience and perspectives, so it'll be tough to nail down. I think the best thing for any event to do is clearly outline the rules and their intent, and more importantly stick to those rules.

As for having drag cars, etc. I personally like seeing as many cars out as possible, just as long as the cars are getting categorized correctly. I'm all in for some street car vs. drag car showdowns :)

Yes and and at the track I cut a 1.46 60 on qtp. Then added a anti roll bar and et drags to cut a 1.45. With more time I may get a better 60 and the car was easier to launch but on the street really no diferance. I bet that extra tread from the slicks no having two extra lines make a big deal. I went with the stiff sidewall slicks because they are said to be best for stick cars. I know at street races I don't see rules on what tire you can run.

First I want to thank Michael for coming back to the boards for us. Looking forward to your input and I can fully understand how difficult it is to keep people happy with the rules.

I agree 100%!
