Guess we wont be coming to this....we were going to but the car is not registered.

[Mopar408 22]

damn...no slicks allowed

[ostmike 35]

No registration is required for the Gen III Hemi bracket race and slicks are allowed.

Only the "King of the Hill" requires registration and DOT tires - wrinkle wall DOT's are permitted.

I wish! I'm not sure his trans would handle the power for an all out assault on the 1/4

[Speedy 247]

I like the idea of the street requirements. Can someone enlighten me on what tires would be legal in a class like this?

Anything that says DOT approved on it. Tires like Hooiser QTP's that are wrinkle wall with a couple of lines in them are DOT approved. Any type of DR that says DOT (I think they all are).

Remember - this is for the street class/King of the hill race only. Bracket racing can run any tire and dial on the tenth.

I remember that. However this is a 3 day event and not a track rental so I am hoping for the best.

[BuckeyeGuy 82]

At this time, i am planning on participating. I can't make it into the king of the hill as the car is not registered

Still a nice payout in the bracket race and for a master on the pro tree and a 11.50 dial it's easy money for you!!!

[ostmike 35]

Buy your tech cards at the gate for each of the events you want to enter. Don't forget about the Pro class - $1500 to the winner!

[Speedy 247]

You guys have some fun for me!

[BuckeyeGuy 82]

Mike, you have the class requirements for pro and superpro? Is this the same as box and no box? Most places i run pro brakes and two steps are allowed.

It will be interesting how some of the old school Hemi guys take losing to a new age grocery getter.

[ostmike 35]
