Looks cool. The only problem I have recently is that all the new and fun races require the cars to be 100% street legal. WTF? No drag cars in a drag racing event? Sounds kind of stupid to me. I have to register and insure my "purpose built" drag car in order to compete in the 2 biggest races of the season in WNY. It really makes no sense to me.

guess my car is street illegal since i run catless

 

[NYthurobreds1320]

yeah that is so dumb...luckily they are letting you run slicks at this event. and ive got a 1990 so i dont need cats but it really sucks for the newer cars...i wonder how tight the tech is gunna be here

Well I don't see how you do this in 100 feet.. how many feet do you have to stop?

A mostly stock 2008 mustang gt with an auto trans will need maybe 100 feet to stop.. in addition going all out and then having to break fast will end up doing some bad wear and tear.

 

[NYthurobreds1320]

its supposed to be a prettty long track with plenty of room to stop

My old "track" was just about 200ft. First and part of second. It was great. The best part of drag racing. The launch.

 

[NYthurobreds1320]

yeah i like the idea a lot...i dont have to drive far to dial in the launch..when i get it right ill just take it to etown or island and see what she runs...but its good b.c ill get a lot of runs in and we can tweek the suspsensiona and get it just right

 

[flg2010]

I dunno. If I was making the money I was back in the late 90s I would jump at this but replacing engines and such.. too expensive.

 

[Wicked One]

It's 100ft. I see you are from Putnam, ok I have an example for you. If you remember up until the late 90's, the entrance to the taconic from Bryant Pond road. That's what this is like. 100ft balls out. I'm not gonna do it, but hey, you can.LOL

 

[Black Dragon]

wow, 100ft? No thanks...

 

[DON-NOS]

bump ill be there for sure

 

[RideThePony2004]

where is this?

 

[97NYstanGT]

what's the point of 100ft run? i can't even accelerate in 100ft

 

[NYthurobreds1320]

come on your cars cant handle 100 ft lol....the point is its a quick race to get a lot of ppl thru it...plus it helps a lot if u want to dial in ur suspension cuz its right to the point
its in middletown in orange county..bout an hour n a half from the city and same from albany

 

[DON-NOS]

what's the point of 100ft run? i can't even accelerate in 100ft

its called holeshot drag racing 90% of drag races are won on the holeshot thats the point of this .....

 

[DON-NOS]

bump for sunday FDR park pre track rental meet @ 2:30 pm weather is going to be really nice and in the mid 60s and dont forget to bring your money for deposit

 

[NYthurobreds1320]

thanks don....guys im just sayin if ur local or w.e try to stop by..the more support they get for this the more chance they can expand the track in the next season...its not perfect but atleast its a little racing action with no cops lol

 

[BlackStang14]

I dont have CATS but I can go anywhere and still pass NYSTATE inspection as long as they dont do a visual...

 

[BlackStang14]

Kit give me a call and let me know the final day I will be there...
