What is to stop a 1500hp car entering the Street Class, and just peddling to beat everyone, and win $?

That would only be in the Unlimited class, if someone sand bagged qualifying they will be disqualified. You run against the entire field, so just sand bagging the guy your racing at that moment will not beat the field most likely. Leaving enough gap to make sure you beat the field will be obvious at that point.

Yes there is some gray area, this is some what new, but each car entered has enough following on their perspective board and the guys from SlipStream follow up on these things to the best of their ability.

But in all forms of racing, you never show your hand until your forced too, that's racing and nothing wrong with it IMO. To a point of course.

Not every car there is a rocket ship, but everyone is having fun I bet.

Very true, but i bet $$ I'll have more fun once the ECS kit goes on Only trapping 125 now so that's too slow for me.

For us it's Georgia or Chicago for the closest half mile events.


We are trying to change that all thanks to the SlipStream guys.
