Re: Roadsters in TS or TD
 

I don't think we need any of the Division 1 roadsters in our class.....lol

Just what TS needs couple hundred corvette roadsters on the hose.....at the marginal tracks to fill the show....now that might sell some tickets

Re: Roadsters in TS or TD
 

Not sure why you felt the need to be sarcastic. No one said anything about selling tickets. It's about the racers and giving us options. I don't know about you, but I don't race for my adoring fans, I race for me!

Re: Roadsters in TS or TD
 

If you can get your roadster (TS) or altered (TD) to meet the certification requirements, why not as long as there is a minimum weight rule in place. Or are the guys in TS going to complain about the potential aero advantage of a roadster over a car with a full windshield?

I think roadsters should be allowed to run in TD. You would avoid any issues with weight and aero advantages. All open cockpit vehicles in one class. I doubt it will happen any time soon.

Re: Roadsters in TS or TD
 

I truthfully wouldn't care which class they allowed them in. Either would be fine with me. It would just be a nice option. Who knows, by the time this would ever happen the classes may be so fast that it wouldn't matter. LOL

Re: Roadsters in TS or TD
 

I may be wrong, but if I remember right, a roadster will only certify to 7.50 and that in NHRA's eyes would be where the biggest problem would be. Even with a door car, they will not let a 7.50 cert in the class. It must meet 6.00 cert.

Back in 2000 Division 4 let a 126" wheelbase 1934 Roadster run in Top Dragster at a Divisional. The Dragster guys were pretty upset, because it wasnt a dragster and it went a few rounds. It ran 7.50's. I thought it was cool to see it in the class, considering the next month the guy ran it in S/G and ran a 9:903 @ 176 MPH....pretty impressive.

But I think if you want to run T/S, buy the car to run the class. You want to Run T/D, then buy a dragster or Altered. I think Altereds are cool in T/D when you see one which is not too often.

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

Re: Roadsters in TS or TD
 

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?).
