Drag racing classes for TF07?

[3WW Star-Yamahondaman]

I'm not complaining I just think that classes would orginanize it better

it's not that we are Complaining...it's that LOTS of people have other Opinion's about some things.... don't matter to me ...
when i get put out "early" i'll help grade and keep the ICE circulated in the Cooler !!

I just like the idea of some competitive classes. 350x and R, 185c-250 four stroke, 50-125cc, Open. I dont care about the trophy, I just want some slower competition

Hey Wheeliepop... i can Bring the "Brapp" Reacon Back up there and race it !!

I did not participate in the racing, but watching the drags kinda sucked. (please nobody bite my head off) I think classes would make it alot more interesting. the way it is setup now its like watching a dusty practice. it is all for fun but it would be cool to see who has the baddest x,r,tecate.... but it is cool to see the different brands go against each other. just how I see it.

[3WW Star-Yamahondaman]

GOOD Idea BAD !!! Practice was DUSTY !!! had to wipe "the RAG" OFF ALOT !!

ok the way they do it is they have stock classes say 0-250 fourstroke 0-200 2 stroke stock class and a trailmod of the same displacement.

then have a 250-400 4 stroke and 201-300 class stock and modified classes

and then an open run what ya brung class for the 500's and trishees and 330's

then as far as stock classes go

Hummmm where have i heard that before??? YES!

[brapp]

i think that would be he best system for it and also everyone racing must ahve a number. and pre register also so we can keep track.

Not sure if this was mentioned, but is the room to run 2 strips so you can break it down to more classes? If a guy has more then one bike, someone else can stage his trike while he's running on the other strip.

ALl sound great, but who is gonna enforce it? How do you know if I got my bike cammed? How do you know if I am running a stroker? BigBore? How do you know what fuel I run? You can't just go accusing guys of this or that. "Well, my bike is stock and he outran me by 4 or 5 bike lengths, so he HAS to have mods!" No way, that will NEVER work.

The drags went well last time, IMO. My conversion did ok, I knew it wouldn't win. No way it could unless 14 other bikes BROKE at the line!

I agree with some if there were a couple basic classes it would be more fun for MORE people. I think THAT is what everyone would agree with. It should be fun for the majority or people. I don't pretend to know how to break it up into classes, but I do know this....whatever the class would be, you would have somebody at the very top of it....and somebody at the very bottom of it. The guy at the top...he would be happy about it and the poor sucka at the bottom...well, hate to tell ya...build a bigger bike next time. Like Billy said, a drag is a drag and a drag is to be the FASTEST, PERIOD. A few hours of grudge racing...great, my T4 likes to come out and smack around a few Trikes too. (also runs and hides like a little girl when the serious boyz come out with their RAGGS! )

Seeing how everyone else tossed out a class suggestion. Here's mine. Make it a simple 3 class deal. 2 Stroke, 4 Stroke and Open.
If I remember correctly, most of the 4 strokes were 350Xs with some 200Xs in there and the majority of the the 2 strokes were variations of 250cc bikes. My conversion, Raffa's Big Yellar and similar bikes would have to run in the Open class. If you WANTED to run your smaller bike in the open class, you should be allowed. Some smaller "stock" 2-Fiddies can RUN! To keep the time in check, gotta register, and you can only run ONE class with the same bike. Can't enter the wicked built Tri-Z 250 in the 2 stroke class, AND in the open class. Pick one. You will be able to run for hours and hours to prove your point as how fast you are, but if everyone was allowed to enter multiple classes, it would take FOREVER to finish, not to mention, what a headache for the peeps running it. Grudge for a few hours,( you can run all day prior to the drags, so you got strip time) then a double elim. Lots of people will be able to participate and some of the slower bike will be able to run for something. Like everyone else, just my .02.

On a side note. Not sure if everyone or anyone has heard about the Side Wager I got going on with Corey Sprock..TriTecate350 here on the boards. Simple, he has to WIN the TF Drags to win the bet. For ME to win the bet...ANYBODY other than Corey has to WIN the TF Drags. I like MY odds better than HIS. Heck, I don't even have to race to win. Now, the payoff. The WINNER gets to see the LOSER wear a dress to the TF Awards Ceremony. Yep, that's right, A Dress. Now, you fast guys...I know it would be wonderful to put the screws on me by losing, but you can't do that...right? Please? The drags this year are VERY important. LOL!
