Side mirrors (if car came equipped with them from the factory)
Back seats (if car came equipped with them from the factory)
DOT approved tires

you have the 3 easiest ones

Im trying, so is that a yes on the card, Ill race both the IAF race on motor, and Ill run the shootout on N20

I was thinking today. "What defines a streetcar?" What's wrong with saying it's a car that drives 500 miles per year on the street?

that is a good definition. as far as event rules go, it would require an honest person

No sorry, you'd have to meet all the rules.

I did lift the 10.00 limit rule, for now at least. I'm open to feedback. I didn't really like that rule as it was the only rule that relied on a man's word . the rest of the rules can be verified with a quick inspection.

you and george are running in the small tire outlaw shootout right?

[Drifte]

If I run, i will be hitting a dear with my passenger headlight on the way to the track, thus requiring its removal...for safety.

Maybe do a stick class, then a streetcar class, anyone who drives from a parking lot in CR up to the track is eligable to race

[Molasses]

Why aren't manual trans cars eligible for the streetcar class? I bet there are plenty of quick manual trans cars that are, I dunno, 80% street, 20% track. Kind of leaves the guys who drive fast street-legal (and mostly street-driven cars) stick cars out-of-luck. Unless they want to run against full-blown drag cars, which wouldn't really be fair.

The manual cars are suppose to enter the manual shootout. http://iowaautoforums.com/showthread.php?15385-2013-Iowa-Street-Car-Shootout-layout-rules-and-registration . it is essentially another street car class, naturally most manuals are usually street driven. most people that are real serious about drag just build autos.

why ya gotta bring foliage into the mix bro? jk

in entirety it is a "street car shoot-out" so its just separated now auto and manual. Lots of issues with auto cars in the past required the naming "Street car, auto street car (remember street car) shoot out/street car...also street car only" naming.

Does it have to be stock headlights?

you have open downpipes or fender exits ? Is it mainly a street car or a drag car?

Not fender exits...i have dump tubes about a foot from the turbos...mainly a.street car, has only be to the track once...have ac, power windows, everything

You're a street car Kenny

kenny davis? we'd be glad to have you enter. an exception to the rules may be possible. but you have a month and a half before the event, any chance of getting a longer exhaust put on? and that could also let you comply with the tracks midnight mayhem exhaust rules.

electric cutouts are allowed to be opened in our race but your suppose to at least still have the longer exhaust on the car

[gyl]

I could not get a longer exhaust on the car.i have no had any issues teching the car before...i Hope to be able to compete...car should do well in the 1/4

If you have a functional AC with condenser, I'd say that is a fair trade off for your exhaust being a bit short. If any auto guy has an issue with it, they can reply here

What happened?

[RedRocketZ28]

Transmission is toast. Had it on the dyno for a couple of pulls Friday night and it ended up in reverse at 140 mph after a pull (Dyno operator error). I am fairly certain the converter will need to be sent back to Circle D in Texas to have it cut and cleaned. Probably wont have time to get it all back together by then.

Since there entering that car 10.5 small tire car in the Auto class, you should just enter your car in the 10.5 small tire shootout that will show um.....lol

[Snoclo]

Sounds like a good reason to take the day off from work. Not too sure about the being cool part?
If the intent is to have some fun, then definitely show.

What about the being an ACTIVE member of the forum part?

Its all about pushing the envelope isn't it. Maybe some get registered by race day or to you need to be a member for a predetermined term prior to.

Well, beings how this is supposed to be an event set up by and for members of this forum, it would be nice if somebody doesn't sign up the day off just to win the thing.

[Snoclo]

well there's nice and then there's the rules. should be worth seeing if many show.

[c_mart_28]

What did you figure out about the by-pass issues?

Well, depending on what time I thought the issue was the bypass.. First time, bypass was just broken. Replaced it with an OEM bypass and it works great. Second time I was having issues, it ended up not being the bypass. I had the metal gasket that goes between the upper part of the lower intake manifold and the blower adapter go bad. Caused a funny squeeling noise and the car to do all sorts of weird things.

Since we've fixed that the car is running pretty decent. Made just a little over 700 rwhp on 23ish psi. I don't think the car feels faster than it did when the 2.3 whipple was maxed out but, in my mind, it feels safer not being 2000 rpm over the max recommended blower RPM at all times like I was with the 2.3.

Anyways. Bring on the race cars. Fun will be had by all. I'm sure.

Listen, you're new. I understand your lack of knowledge on the subject of this event, so I'm going to be nice. The original intention of this event was to have everyone from this forum and Dragsource.net together for a kind of get together/meet/grudge race between the 2 forums. Due to the fact that DS is now completely dead and most everyone from there is now over here (me included), it's turned into a yearly event that the forums owner (Ryan) tries to organize for all of US. 2 years prior, a member on here that is no longer with us put on a "event" for all the manual cars around here. Since then, that class has also been included and kind of named in his honor.

Now, there's a lot of other events, including the Iowa True 10.5 that cater around here to the other people that are looking to enter some events and win a little bit of cash. This wasn't set up initially for that. This was set up so that all of us from all over the state have an event once a year we can all go to and meet face to face and do a little racing. It is NOT an event for someone that nobody around here (the forum) knows, that just heard from a buddy, who heard from a buddy, who heard from his neighbor that there's gonna be an event he can go to and clean house and make some easy money with his purpose built drag car that fits the rules and sees maybe 25 miles of street use a year making it a "street car".

[LT1Dan]

I haven't been around here all summer but what happened to the rule about never running faster than 10.00 for the auto class? I thought about throwing some parts at my car to get up there but I'm not wasting my time and money to watch some "grudge" racers that aren't even on the forum come walk all over everyone.

[Newgen]

I'm just going for a track day and partaking just for shits and gigs. Although I do understand your point sparkles. Theres a lot of talk about it on facebook amongst people who I know aren't active members. Then they were bitching about the way things were setup.

I do have one question for either Derek or Ryan. Is the import class import powered this year or import chassis?

[AutoMods]

import award is for import powered cars only.

there has been discussion about non iowa cars and non forum members. the car count has been fairly modest in the first 4 years so we hesitate restrict any possible participants. we haven't really had any strangers show up in years past. as of now there is no set rule limiting location or membership to this forum. i'd just say we'll see who/what actually shows up and learn from it and next year we can continue to make improvements to the shootout and its fairness.

the 10.0 rule was lifted because it relies on knowing the participant and is not really possible to tech or inspect. also it doesn't stop a fast car from just entering anyway and sandbagging. hopefully our strict rules will setup a decent race, if not we will learn from it for next year.

It is NOT an event for someone that nobody around here (the forum) knows, that just heard from a buddy, who heard from a buddy, who heard from his neighbor that there's gonna be an event he can go to and clean house and make some easy money with his purpose built drag car that fits the rules and sees maybe 25 miles of street use a year making it a "street car".

First off Snoclo happens to know Rob better then you. They worked togather for years, also he is not new to this site or CR he was around years ago when all of us and Rob where racing on the streets. Now these people you say are from another town, or just signing up to win some easy cash have been members on here for years actually maybee longer than you. I see it like this "if you fit within the rules" you can race, thats why they are rules, regardless if your pushing the rules to the very edge, if you fall within your in! Fastest car dont always WIN!!!!!

I thought about throwing some parts at my car to get up there but I'm not wasting my time and money to watch some "grudge" racers that aren't even on the forum come walk all over everyone.

Trust me there are grudge racers on this forum, and these guys with the cars that are going to walk all over everyone are members also. "Win or Loose Its about Supporting this site".....OUCH that hurt!

[Newgen]

import award is for import powered cars only.

there has been discussion about non iowa cars and non forum members. the car count has been fairly modest in the first 4 years so we hesitate restrict any possible participants. we haven't really had any strangers show up in years past. as of now there is no set rule limiting location or membership to this forum. i'd just say we'll see who/what actually shows up and learn from it and next year we can continue to make improvements to the shootout and its fairness.

the 10.0 rule was lifted because it relies on knowing the participant and is not really possible to tech or inspect. also it doesn't stop a fast car from just entering anyway and sandbagging. hopefully our strict rules will setup a decent race, if not we will learn from it for next year.


Awesome thanks for clearing that up.

got it, awesome.


Awesome thanks for clearing that up.

I should say its import/sport compact (non v8) powered. srt4 and cobalt ss etc can win the award not just imports

I can live with that :). I heard clints evo's going to take the title anyway haha.

[c_mart_28]

Glad it's running well Casey, looking forward to the event! How far over 700 did you make? 704.9 ish maybe? HAHAHAHA
Ha. Nope. Way over 700.......

700.69 was the number :) That was a first for me so I'm happy.

[JustaGT]

Over 700 is over 700 :) very nice though, glad to see that it is running a lot better! Now I have no excuses when you take me by a .8-1 second at the shootout :(

[Snoclo]

Listen Sparkie, I may or may not be new, but I can read. I looked over the rules, I understand them. Whether I or anyone disagrees with them doesn't matter, the rules have been written. Now as far as any exceptions to be made, how's that going to play out? I think this s'pose be fun, right? Sure ain't about $$$
Seem to me your panties are a too tight, thanks for being nice though.

[sparkles]

Here I go trying to post something without completely being an Ahole and people still get butthurt. Whatever. Doesn't change the fact that what I said is true.

Whatever you say. You've successfully ruined this event for a number of people that fit nicely into the "street" category by bitching and whining for three years until the rules were relaxed enough for you to get in. Enjoy beating up on the locals then betting dollar bills at kots like a "big dawg".

1. The post wasn't about who knew Rob better. I was merely putting it all in order and in perspective for anyone else that might be reading this. There's a lot of new people on here lately. Nowhere did I claim to "know Rob" better. I've never met the guy. That's no secret.
2. If "these people" are on the forum actively, and have been for years, it shouldn't be a secret who you're talking about then correct? Who are we talking about? The twins I assume? I can only guess as I don't know many personally.
3. Everything I said still stands unless you'd like to specifically explain where I'm wrong.

I could give a shit if I race in it or not, maybee instead of crying like you are Build so HP and race, Bring that BAD LT1 car up and race that fucking POS ford I bought that 0n the 6th will be parted out, we dont have to bet dollars we can bet $100s if you like. Seems to me the only people bitching here are those who dont have what it takes to compete. I dont think Ryan changed any rules to fit me, if anything hes tried to make it harder for me to compete, But what sucks is the car I own now fits the rules 150% and it always will for here on out. So basicly YOU will never be able to compete in the Auto class, or any 10.5 class because you dont have what it takes! Or your going to cry about us!
And for your info. I have raced 1 IAF auto class,and that was because Ryan allowed it due to Robs wishes...you remember the guy that always had the balls to race, win or loose!

[StreetSweeper]

Yea i can only wait to see the excuses from here on out! Just what are people going to cry about when we meet all the rules and blast everyone's ass by a mile. What will be the crying bs then? Oh we'll there's only a couple kool - aid pumping no heart having pussys that bitch not our fault there shit is strait crawling.

The people I speak of are members of this site not 100% active like yourself with 2800 post, but they are active, and they fit the rules and guidelines Ryan has posted for this class weather they are 11s or mid 8s cars they fit the rules...There should be no bitching!
Ryan is to blame then for not putting a 10.0 cap on it, but like he said...WHY, a mid 8s or 9s car can run 10.0s all day.

Tell them to get registered up so they don't have to pay the inflated $35 fee at the track!

Speaking of that, we have quite a few people that haven't paid yet guys. Price does go up in just over a week!

[OldSkoolRCR]

They will pay day of just like myself...I guess when you have a mid 8s car thats you got 30K-40K invested in, whats $35.00 dollars...lol

Gates open at 2pm, racing starts at 3. Racing should end around 7. Late start because the track will stay open for midnight mania.

[RedRocketZ28]

I'm going to hopefully make a few passes, and drink a lot of beer. The only person I am out to beat is my previous times. If the car can't make it for whatever reason, then I guess I drink more beer.

This will be the first Shootout I have been involved in, and can't wait to just hang out all day. Should be a blast.

Andy, I'll bring the cooler of High Life and Snak Paks. I'm leaving all my Mike's Lemonades home. I don't want to share with Ed. You bring your dollars though. I'll be betting all day.

[c_mart_28]

Iowa gang, are we doing the hotel the night prior thing?

That has always been.....Eventful..

[RedRocketZ28]

Sounds good, Ben. I will bring a cooler of Busch Light though. I'm not sure I can choke down High Life, lol.

[sparkles]

Casey, I want my own bed this time. Your wiskers tickle.
Andy, sounds good. You'll have to beat Casey off with a stick. Boosh Light is his favorite.

[OldSkoolRCR]

Ill cover all side bets...I be drinking Mikes while Im raceing, years ago when I was raceing bikes I always went faster drunk!

[c_mart_28]

Yes. Bring enough for me! It gets awkward when I have to snipe them while you aren't looking :)

I'm not bunking with you. You cried last time. I told you just go to a happy place.

Not my fault you sucked at being a power bottom, you were so terrible it brought a tear to my eye.

Who was terrible? When it was your turn, it felt like I threw a hot dog down a hallway. You must be a all pro wide receiver if you know what I'm saying. I know they say to be adventurous in life, but come on. You CAN say no every once in a while.

[RedRocketZ28]

Tell me which hotel you guys will be in. I will be sure to find another one.

[Unstang]

IN...
I heard Larry Larson said fuck Drag Week, going to CFR instead.

[1badheadgasket]

I will be out for this event. Debating on what day/time I want to come up there. Also wondering who is all staying for midnight madness up there after the shoot out?

[JustaGT]

I will probably stay after and watch the midnight mania and toss a few teddy brewski's back. Gotta have some time to drink my sorrows away after getting handled in the manual class.

you beat batwood, from a roll at least, id say your in it to win it

[BGjohnson]

I'll be going to every hotel to make sure you all share in the joy :D

I vote Josey makes a hotel reservation. Not sure why Josey. He was just the first to come to mind.

[JustaGT]

I think he will definitely yank me off the line with his tire setup. I'll be giving her all I got though :)

Also Ryan, what are you guys enforcing (if anything) for getting cars there. I will definitely be bringing a trailer as I'm about 2 - 2.5 hours away from home and on stock half shafts, but have no problem driving it up if that is what everyone is doing. Just wanted to get a gameplan together on weather or not I need someone to follow me up with the truck and trailer or if I can fly solo.

[AutoMods]

Trailers are fine.

[Batwood]

I've got races with ed and fiddy. Shall we get a side bet going as well?

[OldSkoolRCR]

Dumbest statement Ive rseen yet, since when does roll raceing and dig racing compare? Bet JustaGt and Batwoods car made more RWHP then my silver car, but I would have blown them both away on the track. If you disagree lets see either of them run my #s actually I think I went faster NA at the track than Batwood has, Im not sure on this other guy.

[JustaGT]

We could do a small side wager if you would like all in good fun. I think it we should be fairly close if I can launch the car, it will be my first time with decent tires so I'm not setting my goals too high. HAHA

No doubt about that,the cobra has been to the track once on street tires on a midnight mania and was far from fast. Hell the old super comp car ran almost 3 seconds faster than the Cobra with similar HP, amazing what a working chassis and suspension will do.

i've seen lots of crazy things happen, you can't rely on the drag strip. you have to get out there on highway from 60mph+ to see what your really worth. strip is good for tuning though.

thats why some people like the solid puck with no spring cage, more reliable and a lot lighter disc for better shifting. not sure how much rougher it will be, i've heard some say very little difference. i really like my mccleod twin. drivability is awesome, have yet to test it at the track but lots of other have and they hold up well. i don't have an account with monster but let me know if you want a quote on Spec or mccleod

I'd love a Mccleod twin, but its not in the cards right now. The Monster rep said that this is usually caused by fluid contamination of the disk (i have had none) or an out of spec input shaft. Makes me a little nervous because I replaced the input shaft on that trans this winter. The pilot bushing wasn't that bad IIRC, so IDK what gives.

maybe the monster rep left out possiblity #3 in which the disc was defective or just couldn't hold up to the abuse. not saying it was defective but you have to consider it

[Batwood]

MPH dont win drag races...you less than 2 weeks from finding that out!

It must win street races then... cause I sure as hell didn't have any traction.
I'm sure the track will be a little better prepped than the wrong side of 76th street.

Im still trying to figure out how that 500hp Silver Camaro of mine with no MPH. out ET the heck out of all you guys, lets see I went 9.6s/9.7s @ 134 you are going 10-.7/10.9 at 137+ But you know MPH wins races...lol

[allgo]

Point A to Point B wins races...not mph boys, lots of factors you are forgettting, getting treed,60ft,330ft....Scottys car always had less mph than all of us but found a way to win..

mph looks great on a time slip..

[JustaGT]

My guess would be that you had a suspension setup that was built for drag racing versus stock IRS made for cornering and ride comfort :dunno:

There ya go! Even a good ET means nothing if you cant repeat it when the time comes, if you want to survive thru the rounds and do it week after week find a way to make it consistent.

I've never got to run slicks on my car yet.

[OldSkoolRCR]

My guess would be that you had a suspension setup that was built for drag racing versus stock IRS made for cornering and ride comfort :dunno:

My Guess is that you all need to stop guessing!!! I had a stock suspension car, that drove and rode absolutley perfectly comfortable, but why should that matter you guys got all this MPH and MPH wins races....lol Nice try! maybee a car that traps 110 vs a car that traps 150 you might have an arguement!

[OldSkoolRCR]

Please show me where I was the one arguing that MPH wins races. I was simply saying that of course a car that has an SRA setup dialed in for the strip, let alone with an auto, will yank a 6 speed car with IRS and lowering springs all day long. So I don't see where you are coming from with your statement of your camaro running a lot faster with less HP, your comparing apples to oranges setup wise.

[OldSkoolRCR]

Its a Camaro thing you 700-800 HP Cobra running high 10s guys wouldnt get it!!! I wish my crap made those # it would have went 8s...lol

[JustaGT]

Not doubting that at all, hell I was 8.20 @ 161 with only 780HP. I've never claimed my Cobra to be fast, I bought it to have fun on the street and it serves its purpose for that. If I wanted to run low ET's I would have another dragster to run for a fraction of the cost of what I have in the Cobra.

[Batwood]

#'s don't mean anything. We know this.
Stick cars are dyno queens and have MPH in their favor.
Autos will get the ETs and more efficient use of power for sure.
All depends if you want a highway roller or a drag car.

Too bad digs are so hard to set up on the streets.. rolls are just convenient.
I'm always down for a dig. You know this.

Registered my slow truck. Maybe I can get the Volvo going in time, but I don't think 105-108 mph traps are gonna cut it with this group...

Sweet, is that the ecoboost explorer? Our truck class would be some close runners, but it looks like there's a 600hp truck in our class.

[vteckiller2000]

Yes-indeedely. Maybe he will break :beerchug:

[Drifte]

We can only hope! Much more fun having a real battle for first, than a battle for second. And in my case, a battle for top 3 finish.

How many are in our class so far? I tried to bribe Livernois to send me some prototype stuffs but they told me to get lost...

Should be fun.

Just a heads up. I gave one guy a pass to Nathan S. into the auto class, he meets every rule except headliner. he street drives his nova, autocrosses it. slow ride has met him and the car and says its legit.

also newgen's new turbo has a different outlet flange and he has to re-work his exhaust and might not get done in time for the shootout. i said it shouldn't be an issue if he has to run open downpipe. he is also in the auto class

if there are any objections, speak now or forever hold you peace

[Deimos]

Who needs headliners

A couple people can vouch that I've driven it this way on the street for the last week. Just been having some personal issues preventing me from getting the exhaust finished.

[sparkles]

I can vouch that he followed me with an open DP for about 5 blocks last Saturday before he broke...again.

Thanks for stopping jerk lol. The car about caught fire that time. Its fixed so far now. I've put probably 30 miles on it since then.

[CROWN]

so much to do so little time

[Phish]

I am hitting Eddyville this friday, If it holds together and everything works out right. I will probalby pre register and make the shootout. I just want to get a pass in on some sort of track before i head up there. The RX7 has had a ton of gremlins that i had to work out and its been solid for the last couple times of abuse. Hopefully its all in the good now and i can play around for the last few weeks of the season. If Matt runs faster then me, then i have an issue. If he runs slower then i think its ok for him to have an open DP. - PS. His car is the most street driven car in this thing. It would be a shame to see Des Moines fastest car on the street not be able to compete in this event. The exhaust is no big deal in my book.

In all seriousness, do you have a fire extinguisher in the car?

If you need a 6th guy, ill be hauling my turd with the Powerstroke. It wouldn't be fair to beat Kitch right away. .. but its an option.

Does your powerstroke actually beat that duramax? I find that hard to believe, not much done to it is there?

[Newgen]

Yes I do. I had a problem with fire once before. Luckily I was in the garage and had one then. Now I don't go anywhere without one.

Like I was telling Ryan via pm. I don't have a tire to make a mid 10 pass. I'm hoping for mid to low 11s.

[Phish]

With a slick your thinking mid 10? You have to be quicker then me then. i would jsut like to touch a ten. I really need to see this thing after all these upgrades. I have not seen it run even after the auto trans went in.

Yea you should, Dustin cant make it due to a wedding. And when mine breaks, one of your trucks should be able to pull it back to CR..right?

If it can pull things like this, yours should be no problem.

Well I've got my work truck entered, since my street car doesn't meet all the rules.

Nothings in the bag till it actually happens :). I've seen supras on a lot less power go faster then mid 10s. I've also seen cars with a lot more power go alot slower. I know what the car should make once we finish up the ignition and fuel map. Its all about suspension and tires after.

Lol I doubt it. Maybe when he was completely stock I might have kept up.
Might run high 14s at absolute best.

Well, I thought that maybe you guys were doing an ultra top secret covert mission and meeting up somewhere else and didn't want to be bothered

Its alright. I ended up getting it fired back up and made it home.

[Snoclo]

what you got?
06' Duramax CCSB 4x4, lifted, with the wick turned up a little.
