What makes you say that? I haven't given you a price yet.

Jeff,

Before I start complaining, I want to say how I think this is a great idea and thank you and everyone involved for creating a new playground for us. If there is anything I can do to help let me know.

What is the story with the weights. Obviously a 5.7 can't weigh the same as a 6.4 or a 428. When can we expect to hear officially what the final weights are?

Is there a rule book somewhere?
Will the Pro Tree be 4 or 5 tenths?
Will it be a Pro ladder?
Who will be checking the internals of the engines?

Here are the weights from the Dutch Classic:

Min Wt w/driver: Auto Man

10/ Ford Mustang 330/435 3695 3770
10/ Ford Mustang 428/375 3080 2980
12/ Ford Mustang 330/450 3725 3800

09/ Dodge Challenger 370/385 3200 3100
10/ Dodge Challenger 370/390 3200 3100
10/ Dodge Challenger 392/375 3200 3100
11/ Dodge Challenger 512/450 3590 3490

.5 pro tree, sportsman ladder, fast loser comes back (no bye after rd 1)probably 3250 v8 unblown, 3450 v10 un blown, 3650 blown, the 428 ford still to be determined. None of this in stone, but kinda cement. stick/auto same. Tech undetermined, but it will be there. NHRA specs, 9 in tires, More as it becomes available. There really has been a lot of attention, and I think it will be fun.

as for a shoe string budget i mean i have given up all the extra things in my life(except beer)to get this car done.not because its under factored but because it cool as hell....

Jeff Teuton · 01-20-2012, 10:49 PM

Stick guy, I am really happy you didn't give up beer. That just shows there is hope for humanity.
