heads up dragracing pro tree

well i need to know who's up to the task. Would like to start a 5.50 or 6.50 heads up class, quick 8 for now. Post a response if interested and we'll see what we can do. I think it would be a real crowd pleaser. Just trying something new.

Why not go with something in between say 6.0. I think that you would be able to get a field of cars in that range a lot easier than 5.50. I know that the faster the cars the more exciting to the spectators but you got to go with what's available now and maybe it'll work it's way there eventually as more cars show up. Just my 2 cents. You da BOSS!

the 6:50 heads up class does well at the other tracks and there seems to be a great many cars for it. i think that would be the way to go but the cars have to be stock suspension. earlier this yeay at lmp they did a index race the classes were 5:50, 6:50, 7:50 and 8:50. if i am not wrong they did it like 2 or 3 weeks and it never did well. but give it a try.

First off let me excuse my self to you, i didn't realize you were an adult and a member of the racing community.

Me being a 30 year old adult, i grew up in FWD cars and the import / Domestic seen

Honestly over the years import / domestic 4-6 cylinder drag racing is a dieing out.

And you cant tell me this isn't the truth when their are only 3 cars running Pro- RWD and and the top two are from the same race company and leaving NHRA / Nopi and running Outlaw Domestic events.

And as far as you wanting a 5.50 / 6.50 event at your track, other then the rotaries, their are very few imports running those times


I honetly havent been to lakeland in probly 3-4 years.....So im not gong to make a comment about your Track over what i read on the internet, best of luck to you.

So your telling me they are going back to NHRA / Nopi

instead of running with the 10.5 guys.....

My personal opinion bad decision, people that have their car worked on a Titian not not your typical ricer, their 21-35 ish range, Spending hard earned money on high dollar street / drag cars

so by going outlaw racing their not going to lose their fan base.


Just my two cents
