Guys,

LS Fest has added a Late Model Heads Up class in case you are interested:

If it were just a bit closer to the start of Drag Week I'd totally swing by!

Do they require nhra/ihra licence to race.

98NYFINESTVETTE

All NHRA rules are in effect.

Is this the first year for this class? Just wonder if I am bringing a plastic knife to a gun battle. LOL No rules about engine combo, all about factory spec front and rear wheels and tires.

I think that's the point, Rob. There's a lot of fast street cars and it seems they want to limit it to the tire. Run what ya brung - as long as it's on a stock size tire.

with a little grudge action mixed in.

4DRUSH

Not much selection for a 275/40/18, non Z06 C5's get ripped

C5 Pete

Perfect class for you, Jay. If you can find a tire...

4DRUSH

I was thinking about Dave's car

98NYFINESTVETTE

I have Nittos on yellow 18" wheels. Not sure if I should carry front and rear wheels for a 8 and 9 second class. I would also need to change the tires for each class.

4DRUSH

I'm thinking 8.5 - 8.7 wins the Late Model heads-up event

(unless they allow Fox body, LS conversion cars, etc.)

4DRUSH

275/40/18 ?

All I found was Nitto 285/40/18 or 305/45/18

C5 Pete

The rules state late model - recent production, but don't state year. I'd think 97 or newer would fit.

A gutted 4th gen? 16" wheel - but what tire?

Jay, you think there's a tire out there that will fit these rules and still get into the 8's?

4DRUSH

There's no mention of body "Late Model LS,
and LT powered cars"

The C5 Corvette rules should be same as C5Z rules (same exact suspension) Z gets a 295/18 tire

Hooking for 8's - guess that depends on track & driver. I think a 295 DR could get it done

4DRUSH

Actually the C6Z has the best chance, tire wise

OK, so we have about 2 1/2 months to build a C6Z/auto conversion with a 427/YSi (or F1X - As I happen to know a guy selling one)

4DRUSH

John Miller ?

Question is - what's the payout?

$300. to win

C5 Pete

$800 big time money -

plus contingency. probably another $2000 or so...

Who is John Miller? I was thinking of Robert Miller.

I bet we (you) could build a winner for about $50K...

4DRUSH

John Miller (1SwtRide) C6Z06 ECS build, 427, YSI, NOS (6 speed thou)

50K - $2,800. = -$47,200 ( I finally started doing the math for these races)

C5 Pete

Oh yeh... I forgot about him. I'd guess he could put the PG back in and give it a whirl...
