Summit Midwest drags
« on: October 05, 2018, 07:22:45 PM »
It looks like Summit Racing is putting on a 3 day Drag Week style event in the Midwest next June. I was looking through the rules and one of the reasons for disqualification was the use of two or more expletives in a single sentence. I know some guys that would be in serious trouble with that!

Sounds interesting, and fairly close to home. Although it makes it tougher that it ends someplace different than where it starts. I'd have to have somebody drive the truck and trailer from beginning to end. Not exactly an easy thing to do, and it doesn't make a lot of sense. Why not just start and end it at Norwalk? Not sure why a Toploader puts a car in the "Unlimited Class" either, along with Lenco, G-Force, Jerico and Liberty? ::) I'll have to think this over and see how it goes in the Spring.

Looks interesting.

I think they are just trying to get the "H pattern, shift it with a clutch" separated from the "V-gate chip it and pull" stick cars. 
I think a top loader could go into either class depending on how it was configured.

Two 1/8 mile tracks ending with the full quarter is different too.  As is the hard tire vs soft tire rule..

I suspect somebody had a bit of fun writing the rulebook.
Or in other words "W.T.F. that D.H. has one F'd up sense of humor putting that B.S. about expletives into a single G.D. sentence...".

I didn't notice that 2 of them were 1/8 mile. Count me out then because 1/8 mile doesn't appeal to me.

Rule evidently written by a non-car guy who has never broken a crucial part, injured a bodily appendage fixing crucial part, and then losing by a hundredth anyway.
