  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    I know a guy in Texas that wants to give this type of racing a try with his
    455 H.O. GTO.

    Yep, I've got a date, it's October 16th at Tulsa Raceway Park. Check it out at musclecargrudgematch.com for more info. I've decided to let in late model, American made, rear wheel drive cars, to get the car count up, but I do have a "Stock Appearing Incentive Plan!!!" :Brow: :beer :3gears: The quick 8 cars get paid to qualify and they're run on a ladder. The rest of the field runs 2 outa 3, with money going to the quickest and 2nd quickest pre '74 cars running on hard tires, through manifolds, without power adders, and a dual plane or factory appearing crossram intake.

    It sounds like a blast,but........

    Money is a little thin currently, job slow,second child on the way,etc.
    I don't see me doing much this year beside's saving my pennies :ball:

    Hopefully next year things will turn around, but I doubt that unless our
    President grows a pair and gets rid of NAFTA, and starts looking out for the
    good ole USA.We need some manufacturing here in the States if this country
    is going to survive much longer :shock:
    Sorry about the political soapbox crap, I just hate the thought of Americans
    having to learn how to speak Chinese to say "Yes Master" :rolleyes:

    Anyway, good luck with the race, I hope you have a strong showing out your
    way :TU: Another event to expose people to this type of racing is great :3gears:

    Hey Wayne:

    I'm the Texas guy who Tom is telling you about!

    Looking at the rules for your event, no way either of my cars will be competitive, but it will be loads of fun nonetheless. I'm gonna TRY to make it with both my Lucy Blue Formula and my GTO. My Formula has run 12.90's in rather poor air at the Pontiac Southern Nationals for three years running, but the racing conditions have been unfavorable. That was on sticky DOT tires, though. If not traction limited too much with your "hard tires" rule, I hope to improve the Formula's performance with some tuning, plus my new Tom Hand/PYPES crossflow exhaust system, and hopefully better air!

    Just purchased the GTO, dunno if I'll even make it to the track before your event to even see what it runs, LOL!

    Please, send me the pre-registration info and I'll get it back to you ASAP.

    Here's one pic each of my GTO and my Formula.

    Many thanks for holding an event of this type within a reasonable distance of Houston.

    That's what's so cool about these Events, if you aren't in the quick 8, you will have a close race with either the next car slower or quicker than you. So, the more cars that show up, the closer the field will be. And let me tell you, being in the quick 8 isn't all it's cracked up to be. Number 8 qualifier gets to run the number 1 qualifier!!! Personaly, I'd rather be number 9 qualifier and get to run number 10 qualifier, in a 2 out of 3 shoot out, so, at least that way, you get a close race. :TU: You will have a good time. :beer

    Something you may want to try for the quick 8 is what we did in Martin.
    1 vs 5
    2 vs 6
    3 vs7
    4 vs 8
    It makes for a little closer racing and gives the # 7 and # 8 guys a fighting chance.

    I'll have to do that. :beer The other way is how they ran it at Lebanon Valley, and I felt sorry for number 7 and number 8 qualifiers. :TU:
