I suspect this weekend is going to be very interesting. :)
Maple Grove Raceway will be holding an NMCA event.
NMCA = National Muscle Car Assn ... this is the national Hot Rod & Muscle car group.
They have a variety of classes and racing going and one in particualr is really cool. The "True Street" class. What is required is that the car drives 30 miles (in a group with police escort) on public roads and returns to the staging lanes ... and does 3 back-to-back passes.
The drivers "score" is the average of the 3 runs. Although this is a Hot Rod & Muscle Car event, the rules clearly state:
True Street is a racing class for mildly modified to heavy modified high performance street vehicles that are street certified and able to drive over a 30-mile distance. All model years and engine types and power adders permitted. Class is designed for stock-chassis or back-half type vehicles running true 10.5" wide tires. Vehicles must be registered, licensed, and insured. There will be trophies and awards for not only the "King of True Street" (quickest average), and runner up but also for the following: Closest averaged ET that is not quicker than the following - 10.00, 11.00, 12.00, 13.00, 14.00, and 15.00. True Street racing will be conducted at a number of PRO drag racing events to be specified. PRO True Street does not have a points system. PRO True Street is not eligible for contingency.
There is nothing to rule an import out of the game ... so I am entering.
This will be Hyde's first time to the drag strip with the new 440rwhp/365ft tq. A 10.99 is mathematically possible, but I suspect I will be in the 11.3-11.4 range.
We'll see. I hope they do not squelch about me entering :)

lol well because if its a nmca event youd think muscle cars only would be allowed... but the rules dont say so obviously. but hey, good luck, kick some ass.and dont forget... you need to bring a big fat cigar so after u beat the guy with the 454 you can go sit down across the room and be like this guy :smokin:
