NHRA Unleashed

chris3racing · 12-06-2010, 10:42 AM

Thanks for the information. I am only going by what I had read on some other sites. I saw the show yesterday and know that we will run some of the races. I am very interested in whether they draw the kind of spectators the Pink All Out races drew. We have raced in three of their races and the stands and the pits were jammed both days for time runs and the race. I also like the way Unleased is set up you are in a "class" index and there is prize money pay-out in each class to quarter-finals, I think is what I read, plus you get "the Wally".

John kelley, I thought this is what everyone wanted and always complained about? Unleashed has No delay boxes and no throttle stops, but correct me if I'm wrong? Not what is the problem???

Everyone on here complains about the .90 classes and that they are boring and that they should go back to using wooden blocks under the gas pedal and mechanical stop contraptions. Heck no delay boxes either and having to make your car run the number without electronic aids.

I guess I just don't understand anymore or maybe I never did

I'd respectfully submit that this thread belongs in another section. It's not stock/ super stock or .90 racing; perhaps closer to bracket racing. Just think most of us class racers don't support the series for a host of reasons. Perhaps you could e:mail Ken or another administrator to assign a different place to post threads on the subject.

Respectfully,

I agree that this might be the wrong place for this subject but..
I also agree with manny,this racing sounds like fun and last time i checked you can add weight to a stk/sstk car and still have fun with it!!

The unleashed racing is a blast! It is very different than bracket racing where we just dial in different when the weather changes, etc. I thought is was an exciting challenge to keep changing things on the car to run around 13.0. Oh, and the PRO Tree, for anyone who hasn't raced off it yet, is sweet! I highly recommend you try it some time...

I have not gone back on the Stock Superstock page to make any post commenting on the threads that have now popped up about Pinks All Out. There are guys on there now talking about how great it was and to bad it is gone. I think it is funny that now that there is no drag racing show on the Speed Channel, except re-runs of Pinks All Out, everyone is concerned. Everyone was watching the re-runs over Christmas. I caught the first part of the show from Z-Max in 2009 and thought his comment was super. Mr. Byrd commented that at one of the greatest drag racing facilities ever built, a group of grass roots drag racers could come in and fill, "30,000+", the stands for two days and bring 560 race cars. Now everyone is concerned that there is no televised racing except ESPN.

We are just waiting for the Unleashed Schedule.

nhra unleashed and hard index racing is the closest thing to "CLASS" racing we bracket racers have. The only part better than stk/ss class is the fact that we run on a pro tree. It's killer !
