Heads up Racing?

[blackshoebox]

Anyone ever try to run a heads up class, like this:

http://www.racedxp.com/classes-rules/ultimate-street/

With a small tire, Stage 2, single turbo car?

At the weight they allow you to be at, it appears to me a Buick could actually be very competitive. Most cars in the class run 5.20-5.0X in the 1/8 @ around 138+mph.

Fiscus has ran 5.0's in Ultimate trim. He ran this class earlier in the year at the Ohio Valley Prize fight. Most Buicks can't get down to weight without some serious mods so you don't see them often. I feel a Buick can run in the top 5 and get a win with the current rules.

What would be the weight? There are lot of weights listed there.

3200# with a Billet wheel 76mm, 3250# with ram air. We used to get a 200# break for the V6 but I don't see it listed anymore.

Screw em'. Build a fox body with a v6 and put the weight where you want.

The weight break for a v6 is at the bottom of that page.

Good. Looking around the Internet at YB and such it seems that only a handful of guys have it nailed down. The rest have mediocre at best setups. The power density on their engines is pretty pathetic for what they are. Nice to see someone from this community drive over them.

As the way the rules are now fits the V6 perfect. But you know how it goes when one goes out and bust there ass they will change rules.

Of course. Becomes political. They will re-make the rules so they can get an advantage.

I had a "bustang" at one point and it worked awesome with the power/to weight with a BOP Glide.. When are you expecting to come out with your project?

I have been holding out to not saying anything!! Not that it was a secret!! Going to be sweet Chris!!

A V6 Buick can run at the top of this class with the rules as they are. The V8's struggle due to turbo limits. The small mod motors can run but have to deal with the higher weight. A Buick can run 4.90's at min weight.
