Pills???? My best pass @ 2450#s is a 4.75, adding that much weight to the car with the lil 505 I'd have to take the jets out of the foggers..

Although 17 cars was a great turn-out, there were more cars like me there who were a few tenths off the pace than there were guys running "the number". Do you think those guys will continue to spend $150 entry fee plus all their other expenses just to donate money to a guy who is already spending more than they are to win? I love racing, so I'm doing what I can to help the cause and have no qualms spending money to enjoy myself racing, but I won't just continually throw away money on a pipe dream. You want good car counts at every race and good competitive racing, level the rules out and let some other combinations play. Unless you start pushing for bigger pay-outs, whose going to risk throwing away a $25k motor just to win $1-2k and a little bit of fame?- You want to see the class rise up some only to die, keep one combination being the only thing competitive. - My $.02 Quote:

^ The class is called outlaw 632, the rules wer put up some adjustments have been made.
To be a player in the class one would think you would need a 572 - 632 and a few kits? Some guys need to step up a little in there programs. If your doing this for the $$$$ your in the wrong sport |

No doubt. My dad said for years, "the only way to make a small fortune drag racing is to start with a big fortune". You have to do it because you enjoy it.
I may be wrong(I think I might have been a time or two), I just don't see the class surviving if only one combination is competitive and the pay outs remain relatively "small". If the pay outs go up so that more people can justify "stepping up their programs", then you'll also have more guys running their stuff harder to go even faster yet. Then you start breaking shit more often, and the costs get higher......yadayadayada, the car counts start to suffer. Maybe I was wrong with the idea of this class being centered around being more "grassroots" and a little more budget friendly. If everyone seems to think the little guy like me needs to "step up his program", then maybe those at the top should "step up their program" and get back in 10.5?

Sounds like a great class and we intend to try to make a few Outlaw 632 races. Has there been any considerations for a small weight break for a conventional style head? We'd have to lean on our stuff pretty hard if we added weight increasing the chance of unaffordable breakage.

They have a class for them it's called OUTLAW 632. It's still is an affordable class, but it is a heads up class. If you want to run up front it takes $$$$ and some smarts |

http://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/sh...moving+alcohol Here's Rick Grove's 69 Camaro when it was equipped with a N/A 648. I know it's 16 cid larger than the subjects in this thread but it runs incredible.
