push vehicles

[theman]

I was just wondering if the guy with black camero that had to be pushed off last year at Maxton is going to bring a (real street) car this year. I mean there's super street cars running
230mph without a push and no other real street cars that i know of. For crying out loud there's a 4 cylinder Evo running 200 without a push.

I think it matters to him because everything matters to "The Man".

I'm not saying it's not a fast car. I just think it was sh*ty and took away from the (real street) class. Because I have never in my life seen any (real street) car that coundn't leave the line under it's own power. I'm just saying that it's not that impressive.

The Man's got a point.

True. But why make it an issue? Its divisive.

How else to find out if others feel the same way? You never know the outcome until it's asked, could lead to a refinement in a rule, or not...

Re: push vehicles

I could not car less if a badass car can do 230mph with or without a push. All that matters to me is the 230mph!

Re: push vehicles

The one time I went to Maxton to watch, there was an early Camaro that was a pretty bad-ass car, ran a huge number, and when it was leaving the line on another pass, it exploded a U-joint. Then a bunch of us walked around scrutinizing the ground taking little baby steps looking for u-joint needle bearings. One of those stuck in the next guy's tire at 200mph could be bad.

The bite on concrete is a whole lot harsher than on salt. Things break on the starting line at Maxton that probably wouldn't at Bonneville.

That could be one reason the guy is using a push vehicle, since you seem to need justification for the way someone else runs his racing enterprise.

Re: push vehicles

Well let's not join one day and start knocking someone elses car,not what this place is about.Don't like the rules of a sanctioning body ,take it up with them .Other than that welcome to carjunkie. My two cents I don't do anything to impress anyone,there's always going to be people that won't care.Do it for yourself . Bye the way I've never been to maxton. Trying to get there this year.Not making it this weekend.
