It'll still only be 1/8th mile, they should make it 1/4 mile every once in a while.. it'd get some people out there. Todd didn't say as to if they were going to get rid of the class or not, but since there were 11 cars this time around I would figure that they wouldn't..
I'm hoping that they'll drop the weight to 3000lbs for NOS/Supercharged small blocks...

you can use any tire that will fit in a stock wheel well in the stock suspension class

why would you wanna do that? why not let people use the tires that they hook up best on? usually it is a slick, but i just dont see why you would wanna take away that 1 out of 2 options these guys do have. just my .02

Because then it would be a competition of "who can put the most power to the ground vs. who brings out the biggest engine.."

They don't limit the size of the engine, number of power addders, or size of the tire. The only restriction is 3200lbs for all.
I only think it's fair that they at least give the small block cars a weight break (say 3000lbs as I asked for). When you have Corky running 550ci, Tydesky running 600ci+ and, Tony (green older camaro, I think that's his name) running a 500+ci Big Chief motor, and I've got a 370ci motor (along with some others with comparable size motors) I would think that the weight break would be fine. Most of those guys are running either a 29x10.5W or bigger depending on what fits when it comes to tire size anyway. This is what I suggested to Todd, he's going to think about it and told me to get back with him in a couple of months. If they don't, i'll just see what Immokolee offers up, I know their payouts are much larger...

Don't get me wrong, not whining just want some parity...

i deff feel u them big block cars r fast and a 3000 pounds for small block cars would stir it up good or put the bigblock cars on radails and let the small block cars run slicks,they have to do somethng though..
also i heard wren is building a twin turbo bbc right now so.if he comes out we all might be in hell.also i dont think his nova front end is legal for the class but they still let him run.he also bought that yellow 69 camaro from acme so we might see him in that.

either way its been big block car winning most of the time.
and last year the small block cars were 3100 pounds and turbo cars were 3300 and big block was 3200 if i remember correctly

I know Shannon took ownership of a rolling Pro Stock truck chassis a few months ago. How long ago did he buy the Camaro?
