There was actually a discussion about using a Toyota rear. The "no truck rears" got us there. I personally feel that would have been much cooler. But, the rules say a 9 inch is OK.

The common man/fan can afford a older V8 4 runner or GX, they can and should be hotrodded with tunes, and headers. A full time 4 wheel drive 4 runner is how my children first drove on the track. Still own my 08 V8 that got me started in this poor lifestyle choice! Does this mean that Toyota will be paying sportsman contingency for Toyota car and truck owners for wins and class? Lets face it Toyota has more $ than the other makers combined, and it would be nice to see a resurgence of $ towards the sportsman.

So instead of adding all cars to all the manufactures sheets, instead, they allow yet another make with one entry.
Want to run a new car? Your choice is mustang/camaro/challenger...for big $$$$$ Want to run any other vehicle from the manufacturers? Go back to 19XX!! If the manufacturers don't care I guess there's nothing we can do about it....

So, I'm probably making a big mistake, but I have agreed to let Bobby ask me the tough questions next Tuesday.
Ask anything you want and I will give you my honest take.

Oh no I get it for sure I have no issue with it . I was responding to someone else that was asking about putting a 9 inch in other GM cars but I think he deleted the response. Any idea when you will test it or has it been tested ?

Yac, I see you're point and it is a valid one. I suspect they made the rules based on what cars could potentially go instead of what they actually do. That said, those cars in middling classes like K/L/M are rarely gonna run fast enough to need a roll bar and belts (11.5 et). That'd be 1.35 under for an M car. Not impossible but not probable.

I realize now after trying to get just an ear from the Manufacture and NHRA to communicate these days.I attempted to get a V6 2008 and up Challenger in the books. No interest is the best I can figure. Are there any 2015 and up Camaros with a V6 in the books? I hope the Toyota is a hit with the fans in stock. Best of luck to you. Why it has to be for the rich only to use a new car is my heart burn.

So, I'm not sure who's going to build one of these? I feel like it's going to be a one-off case. $34k could buy a pretty nice turn key car that doesn't need completely gone through. And I agree on the roll bar requirements. I just put a full cage in a car last Summer, that might run 10.0's at best because of this. What this comes down to is laziness on the sanctioning body's behalf to police ET's. I don't see how it could be that hard to put a flag in the timing system if a car is only certified to 11.50, 10.00, 8.50 etc. and runs under that. |
