I dont know who the fuck your calling a pussy, i was stating a fact Trp has a great hooking track,and if my car was gonna be a radial tire car, i would make it work, this class is being set up so we can go out race, possibly win money and have fun, instead we have a handful of winning skirts.

I think between now and when the racing starts is when we'll see the most trash talking, cabin fever is hitting us all I'M SURE. Maybe we can get some 'grudge races' set up between some of the talkers, I'm sure we can have the track accomodate some of that action for us.

Nobody said you have to have a professional do it. it just needs to look professionall. and why is the 29" tire a strike? so you are saying you dont have any stock floors in the car from the firewall back?
 
#362 ·
nothing other than stock firewall and stock floors to the back seat! if you guys open it up anymore than you can count me out! this if it fits the theme attitude is bullshit! i will buy a set of scales and weigh every car myself and make it a 3,000 lb limit! not crying but come on! we are on the verge of fuck it if it has four wheels bring it! im done whining and ready for some abuse!

eregin, H tip Again, here are the rules . i interpret that you have to have a professional put your interior in. The 29 inch tires are at a disadvantage when the track goes away. As for the rest of the car, well i might as well bail it an start over to fit your class!

Hey you can please everyone! The class has brought out alot of nice looking cars that say they'll race. And before talk of this class ya had nothing at TRP but bracket. Even if your car doesn't fit or runs fast enough, maybe this class will spawn other classes. Gotta love the guys that will bitch till theres nothing. Very open rules, It will be giving a lot of cars a chance to run a nice class. There is always the same races you raced at before talk of this class.
