Re: "Kepner went Kaboom"
 

Hey Bret, if the ADRL is going to mine deep pockets (they do), then they might as well give those deep pockets some mind candy to think about. It sounds like "International Pro Stock" to me and I'd watch it.
No response necessary.

Re: "Kepner went Kaboom"
 

Bret , you are correct technically, Ford has not made one in 40 years . But GT40 clone cars are still being produced today and are referred to as "super cars" . Are you saying that you cant race clones or that there is a cut off date on production ?

As far as Super cars go I might have a few that qualify . In my garage I have a 2012 B7 Alpina Bi Turbo 586 hp with chip and tuning , 2002 Jaguar XJR 100 (Anniversary edition) upgrade supercharged ,tuning chip and race suspension , 2002 Lingenfelter Supercharged Z06 corvette , roll cage , line lock , rear hard shafts , 411 gears and drag tuned suspension , 2007 stock Z06

I also have a Gen3 LS motor just laying around that will run 5.70's in a 3250 corvette if needed . UMMM !!!

That idea is so 1999... ;) (and I may still have the proposal laying around in my files somewhere!) Ironically, some conversation on DRR recently led to revisting the concepts surrounding Spec Dragster as well... You're barely more than a decade ahead of the times. :p

Re: "Kepner went Kaboom"
 

In looking over the spec on most of these "super cars" they all have traction control . Does that mean the class will allow traction control?

Re: "Kepner went Kaboom"
 

I need to buy stock in whatever Italian or German transmission and rear-end manufacturer's will be supplying those replacement parts Bo is talking about. A launch with slicks to be competitive in ET will destroy these parts. And euro-trashmaster's will not install G-force transmissions and 9" Fords, even if the class rules did allow conversions.
So what you want Bo is the chance to compete with a super HP car that can MPH like the wind but is embarrassingly slow on ET compared to the MPH.
What's the point?

Re: "Kepner went Kaboom"
 

Jeff it this simple , Let a Cajun (V10 viper) have a car with traction control listed in the guide and he will run it sooner or later . Same thing applies to me , let me run a Z06 corvette that has factory traction control and I will run it . Me and the Cajun both have cars that can run 9in slicks and g force transmissions.

Jeff as I'm sure you know their are a lot of corvette's with irs running in nhra stock eliminator and winning races .

Jeff if you allow a stock camaro to run and the copo camaro to run why would you not allow 9in conversion's for other car's . I think you have heard of purpose built race cars

P.S That Cajan is real smart and knows more about racing then anyone I know

This thing is going South earlier than I had predicted. It just takes a few with deep pockets and desire to dominate to regulate the masses to spectators (or sacrificial lambs)

Re: "Kepner went Kaboom"
 

I think it can be really successful,but it has to be done as entertainment.

It could be a good "show",without serious competition.lol

LOL....Welcome to all to the real world.
