Needed honest input of SS/C cars for TOP/SS

Dick Butler · 06-19-2007, 10:02 AM

As you know the wt break for TOP/SS is 6.5 lb per hp. This is SS/B wt.
As we continue to try to appeal to the larger potential field we would like input from the C cars regarding their interest in joining our Heads up Racing.
If you own a SS/C or D car are you considering lightening your car to be able to enter the TOP/SS class next year? Are you considering a larger motor which might move you up to B?
If you have a non computer friend running one of these cars any input willl be appreciated. We are working on TOP/SS for the racers who want to be able to run Heads up Class at more events. Respond here or at my cell phone 937-623-8126.
Thanks in advance for your input. We have several "new" cars to debut soon.

Dick, we are building a SS/C car and plan on running T/SS next year. Sid Bonnecarrere is gonna drive cause I'm too fat to get in the car. It ain't a Hemi.

Thanks, Joe. Hoping that if we pick up more guys out of div 3 we can run a meet or two outside at one of the other OPEN events. Keep us posted. Also would be great to have a picture for the topssracing.com web site as new cars under construction.
Thanks Dick

Are there NO SS/C or D racers reading this or .....? Just a not interested statement will count in survey. We are debating Wt break issues and HP issues for 08 and need to know how many cars are moving up to get able to run at 6.5lb/hp?

Dick i've still got my SS/CA Dodge that i'm in process of installing a new motor as we speak, I just don't know how i'm able to take out that weight without spending a ton of money, which i',m kind of short of. The car might be FOR SALE .I'll keep on watching this site John Lang #365 SS/CA---#365 C/SA John!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

J Lang, Thanks for response. We have kept the wt at 6.5 to make it feasible to add the bigger motor and/or lighter cage etc to reach TOP/SS and get to run more Heads up No break out at NHRA meets. We hope to be allowed at Lucas meets in the future as an alternative to Eliminator or in addition to eliminator. That is why we need to see the interest level.
Others? E cars?

Dick
It looks like you had some great cars at the Columbus Reunion race. I hope this catches on big, it's a great class.

Dick Butler · 06-20-2007, 08:54 PM

Thanks for the interest. working on lighter GT cars so Mustang , Camaro ang Challenger could be used also.
