So we have a pretty good discussion going on our local drag race board about the class called King Street. All of the die hard bracket guys jump in and run the class regularly. The rules dictate that cars running the class have DOT tires, mufflers and be registered. They did add a drive event, but made it optional, giving the racers that do complete the drive get extra points.
When someone protests the bracket cars in the class, the track officials respond with "we are allowing it to keep the car count high, otherwise we'll probably do away with the class". By the same token, a few guys have shown up with primer and some decals on the body (both are against "the rules" for King Street) but are driven to the track and are street legal, yet they are told they have to run in a bracket class due to not being painted and the sponsorship decals.
Personally, my car fits the class rules. It does bug me slightly that the rules are interpreted in different ways depending on who you are. I can either take it or leave it nowadays ... it's their track, they can do what they want.
What do you guys think? Street means street or ????
