Who's all coming this will be the first week! It's located on 58th and Forest Home if anyone that doesn't know is interested in coming.. Should be a decent turnout 2 guys from Michigan possibly 1 or 2 from Illinois! I don't have my sh!t tuned in yet but hopefully it will be soon! Also we'll be running an 1.190 bracket instead of lexan! See you there! :shades

Don't worry my sh!ts slow and needs to be gone through! I don't have a hardbody together yet either.. I have to sell some first to build a new killer! 17 cars for sale! The Sam and Tina Mustang should be done then maybe that will be fast enough!?!

I'm in for sure!

Sounds good! I'm guessing like 10-15 people.. Not bad for the first week and real cars still out!

Alex D took 1st and 2nd in Pro Stock and cut a .400 (perfect light) to win a total of $100!
The KOTH Final Bracket race after I ran myself twice taking out the cars I wanted to keep in (driver error) I ended up racing Alex D in the finals and he cut a better light to win the $150 for 1st and I took 2nd winning $80 plus the winnings from the other 4 brackets leading to the KOTH.. It was a good time! Also Smitty from Chicago and Alex D cut .500 perfect lights and split the pot! Good Job to everyone it was fun can't wait to do it again! :thumbsup And nobaody wanted to grudge race after! :(

They run cars similar to that they run Harbody Nascars on Fridays they will also be having a race Saturday Feb 14th at World of Wheels..

How much for a hardbody motor?

Prices are different on each motor stop up and take a look Tuesday! All fresh motors and the highest price I have on a "custom" hardbody motor/pinion is $45 it's been 1.020. The more you buy the cheaper it gets I have a wood box,cars, bodies, and kits also..

I didn't like running NASCAR bodies, I was always the guy running an old-school Chevelle or '49 Ford. I didn't do bad either.

I really can't run any class because my work schedule shifts so much, I would never be able to run a full season.

Maybe if they brought back the WOMPs I'd build one... I miss running WOMPs.

Yeah but a plus to nascar bodies is if you don't buy them in a store they're almost all under $10! That sucks.. They even got George Barris over to race at WOW!

We have Pro Stock, Hardbody, and 1.190 is basically heads up. People don't want to spend money to keep up with us (that's why the bracket classes are the 2 biggest classes because you don't need a fast car to win) There's competition for you in Pro Stock and Hardbody. :thumbsup

Well you are right you can't please everyone but we try to make it where we will get the best turnout and try to make people happy. Rail is picking up otherwise it would be gone along with hardbody we're averaging 5-8 guys in each class with more guys building. And we're finished around 10pm and you could get into pro stock. Also compared to the heads up the 0-2.000 has at least 15 people and they don't want to spend money to keep up with the "fast guys" even when we have tired motors.. We're talking about other class options but who knows what will happen.

Nice to have you back there for some fun! Joe and I have some motors for sale if your interested.. Michigan motors are gone they haven't come back since they had to work in New Jersey. You can go fast cheaper than $60.. Also congrats to Joe K for being the first local into the 9's with a .998 et! I'm almost there!

Yeah I will have to agree with that but you can get one of the $27 motors to go fast.. And it's ALL in the setup! People stick them hard and do other stuff and wonder why they don't run the #.. That's how it works in heads up racing (part of the reason people don't run it because they don't want to pay to keep up)

I NEVER said Hardbody was expensive.. I don't run it anymore because I built a $200 car to win maybe $5 and tear my car up. We're just trying to make it so if we travel we don't have to change cars and the same for if people come here.. Econo motors and Hardbody motors cost the same if you build them from scratch. Hardbody motors are better since they're not the Chinese arms and you only get 1 cut out of an Econo arm.. I'm not sure what the difference is on the motors your talking about we have old stuff the only thing that changed is the new motors for $50 that are a little better.

I agree with Scottie. Most of you people look over the stupidest things that make the cars fast.

All I have to say is NOBODY else is running anything different keep what you have because if it isn't chances are it won't pass tech..

We don't look over it your suppossed to run what was in the motor stock.. And the rules you posted aren't the same as ours we don't have a set gearing I didn't read the rest but in those rules it also says "ONLY can the brushes and springs be changed" If you want to run hardbody arms run them in a Hardbody where it's legal.. And rules are set so you do what's on the rule sheet and follow it not what isn't on it..

There isn't any cars right now running that are illegal. That is what this set of rules says but it isn't the same as our rule sheet.. Just keep stuff the way it is most people aren't gonna put up extra money to go fast. If you want to keep running heads up stuff I wouldn't change anything it will just lose people..

We might have hit 15 a couple times that was with guys from Michigan and stuff. The only people that left were Mike, Rich, Rob (had a fast car) and when you weren't there.. Also with real cars coming out people do that instead.. You can still do that and be competitive.. Also I don't rebuild my cars or anything my old motor went consistent 1.040's tired (I only switched because I had 8 back up motors) and this one is tired and running consistent 1.020's almost every pass.. No need to cut, zap, or balance.. I have spare motors if your interested and other motors.. And you can listen to them before you buy them.. Also next week let me set your car up and I will get it to run a better et!

I HAD a fast car. I can't complain though, I got almost a year out of that motor and did some damage with it. It was fun times, but I'm still not sure if I want to spend $50 to run that class. Oh well, we'll see what happens next year. Yeah I know, I'm cheap what can I say?
