I'll be there! I'll probably be in the 13.5 index as well. Maybe the 12.5 if I can get a few things sorted out before hand.

Can you make a TnT run before signing up for the class you want? Looks like the schedule gives a few hours of TnT before the Index racing starts.

[Txstang1]

I might hit up the 11.50 class. You gotta have a cage for that?

[OMEGA DOOM]

Can you make a TnT run before signing up for the class you want? Looks like the schedule gives a few hours of TnT before the Index racing starts.I was thinking about holding off on my new mods so I can dethrone CC but if I have to go ahead and do the installs then I would look to just whoop up on CC in the T&T session anyways! :eek:

[Dallas03Cobra]

Rules say 10.99 or quicker for Cage, 11 to 11.49 for rollbar

[Txstang1]

Well I will have to pill down to run 11.50's anyway. I have a roll cage thats been sitting in a box in the garage for like 3-4 months now. Guess I should put it in.http://www.dfwstangs.net/forums/images/icons/icon11.gif

[Forteen3GT]

If I can get my shit done.... I plan to take CarlessChris's title on the 13.5 Index.

Just like that darn racecar took my 11.5 title a year ago.......... sandbaggin and brakin down the whole track.

Headlines will read:
10 second streetcar wins the 13.50 Index.

[Car-less Chris]

you'll get your ass handed to you just like last year if you come my way..

[Dallas03Cobra]

I am so use to the 01 GT with an Auto that I might be in the 13.5 index with my crappy shifting skills :D

[blownaltered]

at what et is it required to have a drive shaft safety loop

[OMEGA DOOM]

can a stock lightning run consistant 13.5's?go and find out! :cool:

[Mach1Nut]

at what et is it required to have a drive shaft safety loop

From NHRA rulebook:

Driveshaft loop required on all cars running 13.99 (*8.59) or quicker and utilizing slicks, except vehicles running 11.49 (*7.35) seconds or slower equipped with street tires.

ET Streets, Drag Radials, Street tires, you can run an 11.50 or slower and be ok.

Full Slicks, 13.99 or faster you need one.

Well I guess I would have to run N/A and borrow some DR's. Cause I dont see how I can get my cage installed and a DS loop in a week and a half.:(

[OMEGA DOOM]

I don't think Chris will be running that slow! :pdamn no faith? you think he will have to go for the 14.5 class? :confused: I will actually probably have to peddle to make the 13.5 cut? :(

[428SCJ]

Rules say 10.99 or quicker for Cage, 11 to 11.49 for rollbar

I thought a 10pt cage was required 10.99 or quicker only if you didnt have the stock dash and floor pan. Could be wrong but thats what i remember.

But i will be there not racing, my shit is still on jack stands for a another month or so :o

edit (below)
from NHRA's website

A roll bar is required in any convertible running 13.49 seconds or quicker in the quarter mile, and in other cars beginning at 11.49. The roll bar is accepted in vehicles running as quick as 10.00 second e.t., provided the stock firewall and floorboard is intact, other than for installation of wheel tubs. The rollbar must be constructed of minimum 1 ¾ inch o.d. x .118 inch wall mild steel tubing, or 1 ¾ x .083 chrome moly tubing, and must conform to the following diagram:

They don't have a index slow enough for my truck :( What is your best to date Mike?

[Fast.0]

I plan on playing around with my car out there. I would make the cruise but my car is not legal. I dont have any stickers on it now. Plus I think bracket racing is gay. Like you said a 10 sec car wins 13.50 class what a headline

[fast408]

oh i guess i will try my luck at this race again and just see if i can break the 160 mph this time :cool:

[CHINGON89COUPE]

maybe I can make this event!

[Mychael101]

15.1 at 91. I've located a set of the OEM lightweight wheels so I can shave off another 100lbs. Still going to lose the spare and tailgate. I'll be running out there the night before so I can where I'm at and what adjustments I can make to get me as close to that 14.50 as possible. I'm hoping the tune will knock off a half sec like most are reporting. Saw you were looking for a coupe, what happened to the rat?

[Blue90LXSupercharged]

At What track is this happening?

[OMEGA DOOM]

At What track is this happening?ENNIS! :cool:

[Blue90LXSupercharged]

ENNIS! :cool:

:cool: Thanks

[OrangeChevyII]

Omega and Carless,yall are both lucky im not running that class.I actually dont even know if my shit will be ready or not.Im putting vortec heads back on it because i decided to venture off and try some different heads and slowed it down by 0.50 and 6 mph.If it runs as good as it did before then ill be in the 12.50 class,may have to bump the juice a couple of times.

Yea whats up with the motorplex's website? It hasnt worked for me for a cpl days now. If you are racing an index does the 20 bucks pay for you to get in also? or will it be 30 to get in and race an index?

[Moose Jr]

I'm not sure what's going on with the website. I can't get on either. I believe you will just pay for a $20 "index class" tech card. With that tech card you can TNT and run 1 index class. If you want to run a second index class you will have to buy another "index class" tech card. I will make sure this is correct and get back to you with the correct info.

[Moose Jr]

Also, since the car show starts a 2pm, people who plan to race only will be able to come in at 2pm as well. The earlier you get there the better parking spot you will have.

Which class? If you are running the 12.5 index i want a rematch lol

[thp1]

i dunno yet..prolly the 13.5 class again..

[Moose Jr]

can we start making time trials at 2?

Sorry, time trials are going to stay at 6pm. We may try to start a little early but not 2pm early. Also, just to clarify, If you want to run an index class it will cost $20 total. That will include TNT and the entry fee to 1 index class.


It breaks down like this:

TNT only - $10

TNT & 1 index - $20

TNT & 2 index classes - $40

....and so on.

The Shakedown class is $40. That includes TNT/time trials as well.


One more thing. Time trials will be run on a pro tree on Saturday. Also, the night before is an NHRA Street night(formerly ultimate street night). It is also run on a pro tree. That would be a good time to practice if you can make it out.

[thp1]

sweet only 20 for me..

[FATHERFORD]

I might run if the truck is up to par. If not it's just the show.

[Mychael101]

I might run if the truck is up to par. If not it's just the show. I want to line up against this truck.

No sitter for me so no way I can make it out to Austin to get dynotuned. I'm pretty pissed but I may just make the trip tomorrow so I can run the 14.50 index.

I don't get it, it was running 3-4th's faster in July and nothing has changed on the truck? I didn't break 90mph the whole night. Pretty disappointing, I was going to get a few more runs in but decided to go hit up the Gingerman and party.

There was so much humidity in the air. Everyone was running slower. I struggled to run with .1-.2 of what i normally run. I lost 2 mph also and i didnt change a thing on the car.

I'm sticking to the excuse that it was the humidity that killed my times. Cooler air with low humidity isn't too far away.
