well thanks maxxmusle but it is not the fastest .but what it is a all steel 66gto with all stock body and interior and stock floor mats not tub out no Nos. so as it sits it is not a drag car made to allmost work on the street some of them cars are faster then me and i can not run the car at the track with out putting a cage in the car. i just will not do that to my 66 or the50

Don't blame you a bit. She is a BEAUT!!!! That 50 Chevy don't look like a slouch either!!!!

We have too many different kinds of cars on CHR to make this work if you have pounds per cubic inch classes, and also then have a minimum weight for each class.

For example my car is 145 inches at 1650 pounds (about 11.5 lbs/inch) and runs low 11's.

I would think that the idea previously mentioned of making a couple of qualifing passes and then run a bracket format with three or four classes would work great and be interesting.

Bakersfield Famosa is a first class track and would be a good strip at a half way point for all the California/Nevada racers.

It would be fun! But kill the rules thing!!!! Just show up, run what ya brung and hope ya brung enough!!!!! Sounds like you West Coasters' are gonna have fun......But to make the travel a bit more equal, how about some place in the middle, like maybe Kansas where the first Nationals where run????

topeka id be up for it, <1st nationals were in great bend right?>

sounds like fun, but the fewer 'rules' the better.

Just run cubes against cubes and call it fun.

then that means id be making bye runs all day long

Way back when in the golden oldie days there were 2 tracks that had "run what ya brung races",here in No. CO, a track in Erie,CO and one in Cheyenne, WY. It was based on cube to cube, cars had to be street legal, licensed and insured and had to pass a safety inspection and the drivers had to have a legal drivers license. They ran every weekend spring thru fall. Lots of grudge and match races and a fun place for young guys to try out their mettle.
Those were fun times to watch and participate in. I got my butt handed to me numerous times in my '57 Chevy SD and also enjoyed going home the winner on occasion.
Then everything changed the tracks became "sanctioned" and the the big buck racers and lawyers took over....... sad!!

Dunno,,,,think I saw that once too, but don't remember it being in Great Bend.... Heck, don't go by my memory, I don't remember what I had for dinner!!!!!

Count me in. Seems like you would have to make it a bracket affair, that would allow everyone to participate. Could also throw in a straight up series during the event(weekend?). Count my time(service) in also. Have scheduled a few events before. Pick a centrally located track (In Florida? LOL )
Those West coast boys do seem to have alot of excuses, I mean are shy about line'n um up. Hmmmm....... ...

3 trial runs and then run the king of the hill
Just like we do at our track, the good bad and the ugly
