So for the National meet I think Division #3 should post up a challenge to the other divisions for outright grudge match drag races at the Nationals. We have got to be one of the quickest Divisions of trucks period.

You guys are cheating somehow, prolly roids! :jester:

Good idea though. What do you suggest for a prize? Your truck? It is your idea afterall! ;)

I like the idea. We should divide it up into classes so that the rest of us that don't have 20K invested into our motors can get some action. :drive:

It will prolly be time slip verified, no actualy heads up. Tally up the total time, whoever is lowest wins! :D

Well throughout the day as you get a timeslip or two. Then you match up a race with someone really close to where you are running for a grudge match.

No one expects a 11 sec truck to run a 14 second truck etc.

Should be a lot of trucks around everyone's time range.

We could make the Division 3 trucks run matches against all other divisions only as we should have the most vehicles there per division.

Anyways could be fun.

most of the hardcore drag racers on here will match up anyway.. the afternoon "funruns" usually end up running whomever they want anyway.. (perfect example, my truck and Moparz truck were evenly matched and it was a matter of whomever cut the better light.. we raced like four times)

From what i've experienced the past two Nats is that trying to "setup" races will be more trouble than it's worth. I'd say for quite a few of the Club Members, the Nats are one of the only times that their trucks ever see a drag-strip. If you or someone else feel up to the task, then go for it. Keep in mind we're all a bunch of stubborn grouchy old men... lol

If we wanted to do a simplified version of this we may as well just open a "Nat's challenge thread" and then at some point during the drag day those races can be run at the descression of the racers...

If we raced in indexed Heads up races, i can see your plan succeeding, but I feel that the best thing as far as a "club mentality" is concerned is to leave the bracket classes how they are (even though I'd love to see Heads up racing between some of the trucks).

and as for the fastest division, Maybe we can come up w/ some sort of "travelling trophy" that gets handed off every year or whatever...

But i'm one of those "efficient type people" that doesn't see how this kind of award is cost effective for the club... lol

That would work, adding in another plaque won't cost that much extra.

okay, so ya... I feel that instead of trying to run a heads up bracket that we just start a nats challenge thread and the ones responsible for making the races happen would be those being called out...

The only downside to this suggestion is the fact that the vast majority of the trucks that run below 12 seconds never travel with their trucks outside of their host track, so it will be hard to get a true "Div 3 vs. the rest" representation at the meet itself.

Shooting for low 11's on the motor, then who knows on a 300 shot. Suspension will be holding me back on the bottle, but hopefully with the progressive controller I can still pull some decent times. Saw a mention of 850hp for your setup, so figured we'd be close, but you're doing the suspension too, right? 4-link? What are you gonna be looking for?

I was makin low 11's on what I had before, I am aiming for 2 seconds faster. If I dont at least run in the 10's that truck is for sale!

Suspension is gettin worked over, details not finalized

Motor is aluminum rods and pistons, major work on the crank, titanium retainers/keepers, solid roller cam with way too much duration (looks like a rectangle), inkonell valves. shaft mount rockers, bronze bushed rollers sleeves, O-ringed deburred smoothed block, you know the usual motor work.

Right on, sounds like a beast. I'll be running a 262/270 (@ .050) cam, thought about going solid, but figured I'd keep it hyd for now.

Nope no plans for cage, my times are right in that mid 11.50-11.60 mark could maybe sneak an 11.30-11.40 run with a better 60' but thats all I got but unlikely with the heat in August at Milan. No plans to go quicker just out of my financial means.
