No business in their right mind will sponsor a drag meet to crown the "fastest car on the highway" This site won't promote that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXRSEX Member 234 Member For: 13y 3m 19d Gender: Male Posted 09/04/12 10:30 AM Share Posted 09/04/12 10:30 AM (edited) Heathcote is a country hick track. Hold it at Calder. I don't think you would get the numbers to go all the way to Heathcote.Winner should be whoever crosses the line first.Rules are simple, street approved tyres and rear exiting exhaust. Run what you brung heads up.One other thing I've always entertained the idea of is to introduce a rolling run format. (even though I'm not a fan of racing on the roll but I understand a lot of people are) This could be set up very easily by having a marker further up the track (50m for example) You launch like normal at the start off the green but must hold first gear until you reach the second marker and then its game on. So you could pussy it out of the hole in first then nail it at the 2nd marker, or go for a full launch and try and get ahead before the rolling run marker. If that makes sense.That way it is real street, no bullsh*t and no excuses. Edited 09/04/12 10:31 AM by EXRSEX 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No breaksOr bracket racing. FREAKY can enter the 14 second plus bracket Edited 09/04/12 10:55 AM by etrocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus as a lot have said first over line as you don't have a stopwatch on the street. It's who is ahead wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
