Real Street is run on Wednesdays and is no prep for street cars
Limited/Outlaw are for faster cars on Fridays below are the 2016 rules 2017 there were a couple tweaks turbos count as mufflers, allow for fiberglass body parts in real street, and can’t run faster than 5.35(based on IHRA safety rules) for limited street 2016 was 5.45.
If you’re not interested in racing but just watching Boosted and Kamikaze will be coming back for an event as well a couple big tire guys. Also planned is some out of town racing for people in the various classes and events where out of town people come here to race.
Also below from Rob
“I’m adding a big tire heads up class next season. No throttle stops, no delay boxes, heads up .400 pro tree, 4.95 index DOOR CARS ONLY.
Being in its infancy we will run only three times to see if it’s worth growing the class. There will be an entry fee of $100 per car I need to generate enough sponsor money to have a quality pay out I’m looking at thousand dollars to win $500 runner up 250
One of the events will be on a Saturday, July 22 that will be a door car only event including all of my Buffalo Street outlaw classes. I will also have cars around the north east as far down as Virginia coming. The other event will be when I bring in the guys from the TV show I’m bringing back boosted and Kamikazi to take on the small tire guys but I’m also bringing in some of the big tire guys from the show to take on our big tire. For special events the index may be dropped.”
