Default Re: Roadsters in TS or TD

Sorry TS310C if you thought I was being sarcastic. I say if you can meet all the chassis rules and can run the number ....your good to go in my book....Its just a bracket race anyway and with the weak turnouts might need some new blood to keep the class alive I know a few superstock guys that could qualify with a little hose LOL I say run em all RUN WHAT YA BRUNG

Aren't center steer roadsters already alowed in Top Dragster? Seems as though I have seen some, probably old funny cars (would they be just a chuckel car now?).

From what I've heard it's not too far off!

And what's with the 300 seconds between posts? Even posting novels like I generally do, I've come up against the 300 second limit at least 3 times in the last month. ANNOYING!

Still waiting...91 seconds to go....Sigh....

Down to 68 seconds...any day now I'll be able to click the submit button and actually have it take my post.

Cripes...It only took me 27 seconds to type the above comment!?!? COME ON!

Hey! We're making progress...Down to 14 seconds...This SHOULD do it!

No worries! It actually sounds like we are on the same page.

I just don't see how a center steer altered is any different than a left hand steer roadster. Doesn't make much sense to me. I don't see an advantage.

I thought we already had a Top roadster class, its called SG, Iroc Gas, lol just a few door cars filling in.
Myself I wish the rules would be changed that SG had to be roofed and working doors ect.
Yes i only had open bodied cars when i raced but this has got crazy on the open roofless funny cars in SG.

Here's where it gets kinky! If one of those altereds wants to run SG then they'll need to take it to the chassis shop and have "Roll BarGussetts" welded in so they can slow down 2 or 3 seconds. This remains one of NHRA'S brighter rules. Ever think about that? They can run 6's without the gussets but we have to have them at 9.90...go figure. TS cars all have to have doors and roofs.

Tom, as for the gussets, I'm not really sure why they became mandatory other than the stories of the cages failing/ collapsing and maybe thats due do the cage not being on center.

Maybe some engineers could chime in here....
