I want to see Mavericks and Comets in the staging lanes at Bristol!!!!

 

I will try to make it to this race........I have alot left to do so I might not make it.

 

I might make it a spectator. I hope this class works and becomes permanent. I plan to build my drag car for this class. I like it. Thanks, SD.

 

help me get my car some tires and springs... and i guess some nitrous would be nice (100 shot).. and i will pay the entry fee and i will split half my winnings with you SD

:bananaman

 

It would be great to see you there!!! I'm hoping you get everything together in time to run the class.

Hawco,
We're trying to get a good showing at Bristol so we can have another shot at the Ennis, TX race in September. With good car counts at both events we could very well see this as a permanent Showdown class next year.

Simon,
Better get that 351 into the car quick, Bub.

 

My drag car is about year and $15,000 away.

 

Translation:

My car is actually atleast 2 years and $30,000 away from being done.

 

is nitrous a must? my engine aint set up for that , but id like to be there to show some support

 

Actually, I already doubled my estimate. I planned for it to be ready this September and have already spent some on it.

I done been down this here road before...more than once. In fact, every time I start a car project, or a home project, I go down that before.

 

aint that the truth


I've lost count of the money I've spent. In fact I stopped counting....

 

Im surprised it's not limited to a fox or sn95 platform.

 

No, it is not a requirement. It is the only power adder that is legal for the class. N/A cars are welcome also. I would appreciate the support so come on out!!!

You're welcome! I did not want to limit the car count to just fox/sn95/s197 cars. By opening the class up to all Ford body styles we get to include everyone!!! I firmly believe this has been the problem in the past and I wanted a shot at correcting this line of thinking. I'd like to see Mavericks and Comets, Fairlanes, Torinos, Mustangs, Fairmonts, Galaxy, Capris, Montegos, Thunderbirds, even Pintos in this class.
