next years rules for bounty?

[carplight]

Jim when will we know what the rules will be for next years bounty races
I would like to see us back on radials or dot tires. or limit the tire hight on both nitrous and turbo combos to 29 10.5 these are just my suggestions jeff

[Tom]

the tire height is already limited to 29.5"...what's a 1/2" ????

[carplight]

I-40 Dragway
Crossville Tennessee
I-40 Dragway says Crossville is home of the baddest street cars in the south!

If you disagree here are the rules.

Full Bodied Cars or trucks
Must have factory glass
any suspension
any engine
any power adders
RUN WHAT YOU BRUNG

All cars must have the following

Current tags and registration
Mufflers
DOT TIRES
ANY SIZE RADIAL DOT DRAG TIRE
Max 13.50 as marked non radial DOT TIRE
OR
TURBO CARS
10.5 x 29.5 MAX slick no W
NOS CARS
10.5 W

Head lights
brake lights
Mufflers.



the way I read this nitrous cars can run any 10.5 w maybe I am wrong. jeff

[hounddawg]

There has been +/- 20 different cars run this year. I hope there are more next year. Lets get the rules done now and have the winter to get the cars ready. I am not crazy about a W tire class. I like BA's idea of a 28x10.5 class.

I like BA's idea of a 28x10.5 class.I would really like that but we all know most people want run that small of a tire even though I won on a set of 28 10.5 I have seen cars go 4.90s on these tires so I know we all could run them

[hounddawg]

SSO went 4.80's on 28x10.5 2 or 3 years ago. Let the nitrous cars run a 28W if you want to give them something.

[Bad A]

Yea I like the idea of a 28 x 10.5 non w all motor class...No power adders allowed...Leave the power adders to the bounty class...Street legal stuff though like the bounty...real glass windows,no sheet metal dashes or interior panels, no lexan, correct legal tags, mufflers, lights, pro tree heads up.I think this would be a great class.

[Bad A]

Yea but Jim needs to decide soon so everyone could get ready.

[carplight]

I would rather put radials back on and limit then to 325 50s with out scales we couldnt even up the field I would bet that I have had the slowest car that has won a race

[Bad A]

Do You mean for the bounty race??????????

[hounddawg]

If we can get some rules locked in soon there will be more cars come. How many races is Jim looking at next year.

[camaross111]

Well it doesn't matter to me, I'm changing the set up in my car.

I did ask Jim if we were going back to street tires. The answer was NO.
I guess he want outlaw car there with no working anything.

I guess everyone needs to set up to run mid 4's to be competitive.:why: :why: :why:

[carplight]

Do You mean for the bounty race??????????yes I feel that this would level the field more I know I have won one but luck was on my side that night my car didnt pick up that much on slicks I jet it up some

[hounddawg]

The 4 second passes are coming. But noone will know because of the blackout.

[carplight]

[camaross111]

They would have been there Saturday, But the car broke. That Firebird runs 4.87 on one kit.

[camaross111]

I think the way the tires rules were. Keep everything fair for Nitrous and Turbo cars alike.

[carplight]

They would have been there Saturday, But the car broke. That Firebird runs 4.87 on one kit.I could never run with that car . we all know what it cost to run as fast as we have I do this for fun not to make money

[camaross111]

Some don't think like that.
Easy Money for some.

That why the tire were so important.

[hounddawg]

We just need to find a tire that the majority agrees with.

[carplight]

does any one know how to post a poll that way we could see which tire every one would like to run?

[camaross111]

I will be running a smaller tire next year. I don't thing anything larger then a 31" dot or a 29.5 w slick.
anything smaller is ok. that should cover everyone.

[hounddawg]

What tire would you want to run?

[FatRat1969]

:) I vote for the original tire rule to come back. I feel that it kept everything on a level playing field.:)

[carplight]

I will be running a smaller tire next year. I don't thing anything larger then a 31" dot or a 29.5 w slick.
anything smaller is ok. that should cover everyone. I have been doing alot of thinking about mini tubbing my car to put a 29 10.5 tire under my car but dont know if it would pick my car up enough

[outlaw68]

I am listening. And yes lets hash it out, but here is the thing, the slick rule made a program that we have not had yet this year. We had more cars and a better quality show than the Bounty's of past. If we dont continue to draw the crowds of people we will have nothing to worry about because without the people the car count would never pay the payout.. And it would lose its PRESTIGE!
I have a few idea's to keep the parity but right now it looks fair. I know for a fact that a few guys found out their cars were not much if any faster on slicks than they were the DOT'S.

I would like to split the class, but runner up money is the first thing we add.
Next year Runner up money will be paid. I would like to pay more on top but time will tell.....

But you know what some of the people over the past winter who voiced concerns about rules, never made a single race with us this year?? So lets feel it out a little.

Some of you will say we should just rule out any mustang since it seems to be the car to beat..lol.

[camaross111]

I have been doing alot of thinking about mini tubbing my car to put a 29 10.5 tire under my car but dont know if it would pick my car up enough

I believe it would. You could hit it with more out the hole and get you moving faster.
But you car works well the way it is also.
I just believe in bigger tire sense I built my car.

[carplight]

I just believe in bigger tire sense I built my car.the best 60s I had was a 1.27 on 28 10.5s do you think it would help

[patrick j]

the best 60s I had was a 1.27 on 28 10.5s do you think it would help

Yes Jeff I think that it would help a little with a 29.5 x 10.5. Like he stated you will be able to leave a little harder.

[camaross111]

Are you spraying all of 1 kit out the hole. If not, yes it will help.
The biggest benefit I got was the comfort and stability. It like driving a caddy now.

[outlaw68]

How much Nitrous do you think most cars are using???

[camaross111]

Yes Jeff I think that it would help a little with a 29.5 x 10.5. Like he stated you will be able to leave a little harder.
What happened to you guys! Was looking forward to seeing y'all

[patrick j]

What happened to you guys! Was looking forward to seeing y'all

Brandon was gone out of town so we didnt make it.

[camaross111]

How much Nitrous do you think most cars are using???
Well I know he has 2 kits. If he could put all of what he sprays into one. and leave on all of it the car would be faster.
I don't know the amount. I was on 200 at your track. Turned it up with the big tires and put the second kit on it also.

[camaross111]

Brandon was gone out of town so we didnt make it.
I hear the car was pushed out the water box in Huntsville. Hope it ok.

[patrick j]

I hear the car was pushed out the water box in Huntsville. Hope it ok.

Yep it was. We had a few problems, but it will be ready next year.:nod:

[carplight]

Are you spraying all of 1 kit out the hole. If not, yes it will help.
The biggest benefit I got was the comfort and stability. It like driving a caddy now. i have a plate and a fogger leaving on the plate then the fogger

[camaross111]

That's cool. I had a melt down. So i believe I going a different way with mine for next year.

[carplight]

How much Nitrous do you think most cars are using??? you know we all just have 200 in our fogger:nod:

[camaross111]

i have a plate and a fogger leaving on the plate then the fogger
I'm set up the same way. How much. Send a pm if you like.

[carplight]

That's cool. I had a melt down. So i believe I going a different way with mine for next year.now we all know why you are going to put on 29.5

[carplight]

I'm set up the same way. How much. Send a pm if you like.I had 38 fuel 46 nitrous in my plate and 22 fuel and 24 nitrous in my fogger

[camaross111]

Well I just think smaller tire's are gonna look better then the steam roller!

[hounddawg]

Leave the Bounty like it is now but have a Radial Bounty that is separate. If you don't get enough cars in Radial put them together. The only rule difference is the tire. That gets your Outlaw10.5 and Limited Street guys a place to run and it gives they EZ street guys a place to run. Noone gets left out. Use the 2007 runner up money to start the new class.

[camaross111]

If your not bs'n me. A little bigger tire. Spray all that in one hit.

[seeyaby]

Use the 2007 runner up money to start the new class.now I havent thought about that. That would be good, I would race for just for 80% of the entry fee so Jim could make a little

[seeyaby]

hounddog i need mini tubs call me some time.
wensday if you get a chance 865 387 3103 thanks mike

[patrick j]

Well I just think smaller tire's are gonna look better then the steam roller!

LOL. Amen:nod: :nod:

[carplight]

If your not bs'n me. A little bigger tire. Spray all that in one hit.my pistons want take much more than that

[camaross111]

That or have that 28 10.5 class Bad A was talking about.

[camaross111]

my pistons want take much more than that
Even with the same tire and more work to the back of the car. It will take all that in one hit and you will go faster.

[seeyaby]

patrick j i have you a 4cyl 5 speed coupe.

[camaross111]

LOL. Amen:nod: :nod:
I know you would get a kick out of that.:)

[patrick j]

patrick j i have you a 4cyl 5 speed coupe.

PM me with pics and details please.

[hounddawg]

Show Jim your interested.

[patrick j]

Seeyaby check your pm's please

[SHOPEY]

If your not bs'n me. A little bigger tire. Spray all that in one hit.
HE WOULDNT BULL SHIT A BULL SHITTER:nod:

[SHOPEY]

SINCE EVERYONE IS THROWING IDEAS OUT THERE I AM GOING TO THROW THIS ONE OUT THERE. THIS MIGHT SOUND A LITTLE CRAZY BUT OH WELL.
26X 10 SLICK SMALL BLOCKS ONLY, 1 POWER ADDER. THIS COULD BE THE SECOND CLASS THAT IS GETTING TALKED ABOUT? THIS MIGHT GET SOME OF THE STREET STRIP CARS TO ENTER.. ALSO YOU COULD LOOK AT IT AS A MINATURE OUTLAW 10.5 CLASS MINUS THE .5
KEEP THE PURSE LOW AND KEEP THE FUN IN IT. CAUSE IF WE WERE DOING THIS FOR $$$$$$ WE WOULD HAVE QUIT A LONG TIME AGO!
WHAT EVER IS DONE WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THERE IS SOME TYPE OF HEADS UP RACING AT I-40

[mighty mouse]

I have only been to the one race and really dont have a dog in the fight but I will give my two cents. The tire will only slow it down temporarily. Granted it will keep the outlaw 10.5 cars out but every tire that has been mentioned people have been really fast on. 28 x 10.5 Sam Vincent has been 4.80 with 1.18 60 with a small block...........Drag radials you know those guys are fast 5.0's........We even have a class in the OSCA that runs on a 26x8.5" slick (outlaw 8.5) and my brother had a car in it that went 5.70's with a big shot plate small block and 3200 lbs. So even that tire with no restrictions would be damn fast. I think you have a neat program and if my schedule allows it I will run some next year.

[outlaw68]

You guys know I love it, I just dont want to have to tech cars for an hour before we get first round over and every round after that... So lets keep talking. I like it.

[camaross111]

All that is true, but I don't believe most people will run those # on small tires.
This was supposed to be street cars. Mandate a cruise of say 20 or 30 miles. no interstates. back roads about 30 MPH or so. If the outlaw 10.5 cars wanna do that and they meet all the other rules, let them race.

I believe 4 second cars will be at the 1st race next year, and running those #.
I do this for the love of racing, and to see how fast I can make my car, not for the money. Although it nice to get a little back sometime.


Y'all have a good day!

[outlaw68]

Personally I love the cruise IDEA but seemed like me and Billy Smith were the only ones who did... Just my 2 cents.

[carplight]

Personally I love the cruise IDEA but seemed like me and Billy Smith were the only ones who did... Just my 2 cents.I wouldnt have a problem with that I just dont want to heat up my trans. driving one with a big stall will put a lot of heat in the transmission. plus we would have to bring 2 sets of tires which some of us would have to buy

[camaross111]

Personally I love the cruise IDEA but seemed like me and Billy Smith were the only ones who did... Just my 2 cents.

I tried to get there, just couldn't make it. I work on Saturdays some times. That was one of them. I also worked on my car until I left my house at 3.30.
Just wasn't enough hours in that day.
My car will be even more street-able next year. I hope!

If we do cruise, keep it within reason. race gas is high these days. And start the cruse at the track and end at the track. That way the spectators can see who start and who makes it back.

German and I would be game for that.

[camaross111]

Another reason for DOT's. Those tires hook just like a true slick.

If a car doesn't want to cruise. Put them in a smaller tire.

[6ohnova]

just a minor obstacle to work around such as a fan supported trans cooler and two sets of tires aint no biggie cause the cruise will eliminate some true race cars and billy did'nt seem to have a problem with oil, or water temps cause i looked at his gages when he pulled in and was shocked. i'll fit my car in the rules no matter what they turn out to be cause we all kno we aint doin it for money. just my opinion

[Bad A]

Well sounds like everyone has some good ideas...So I will state mine again...I would like to see a NA class on 28 x 10.5 no Ws...I love the bounty race eather way DOTs or slicks....That should be your primary event to draw the crowds...But I still say a small tire all motor class would compliment the bounty cars...Street legal style rules...no lexan,no sheet metal dashes or panels,mufflers,lights, correct tags and Registration...All motor no power adders. and no tube chassis cars.make the tire and no power adders the equalizer...that way it would not matter if it was small or big block..Any type of suspension other than a tube chassis would be OK....That way the CHEBY BOYS would have a chance againt those DARN MUSTANGS..Thats just my opinion since we are all throwing them out there.

[carplight]

any updates? I still think we should run dots or drag radials. and maybe once a year turn on the score boards just to show how fast or slow we are that might bring a few more cars. and also like Jason said instead of paying second place take that money and add another class. jeff

[598bbc]

carp, what about the 350 turbo that was in your car?? still have it? i can sell it

[carplight]

No ,,My junk is just sitting in the garage collecting dust...ran it a couple of months ago and went to the shades of the past rod run..And cruised it some..I would like to put something else togather but money is tight now...

[camaross111]

Crap,

Are you gonna make it this weekend, My car is gonna be running tonight. So I will be there.
Gonna take it easy on her tho.

Speedy's truck is a little old grocery get-r, but it get them PDQ!

[outlaw68]

THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL JUST A FEELER.

stock suspension any of the street tires listed
any slick max 10.5 w

Any Big block automatic tubbed car any non w 10.5

Any small block tubbed car max 10.5w

ALL forced induction cars run true 10.5 or any street tire listed

Any manual trans tubbed car max true 10.5.

This is just an IDEA. NOT OFFICIAL/ something to think about???

[carplight]

Crap,

Speedy's truck is a little old grocery get-r, but it get them PDQ!Yes we are but I am going to run it on motor the fuel pump was bad and I have sent it BG for a rebuild we will see you their jeff

[outlaw68]

No ideas??? No thoughts.. cmon guys tell me what you think.. Some of you have PM'd me and thats cool too if you need to.

[carplight]

No ideas??? No thoughts.. cmon guys tell me what you think.. Some of you have PM'd me and thats cool too if you need to.I still would like to run on radials also the biggest tire I can put on my car is a 28 10.5 now. But who knows I may do something about that this winter but if not I will put the 28s on and have some fun.If we had one race a year and turn on the score boards ot show how fast or slow we are that might bring some more cars to

[outlaw68]

I think the lure of no boards is part of what seperates us from the rest. I know if it were not my own race I would love it as a racer, you dont have to ruin your grudge race ability and still get to race.
I am trying to make the best decission possible and I realize some people will do work on their cars if rules are changed so the last thing I want is to have people spend money they dont need to.

[Bad A]

I like the tires as they were DOTS or drag radials.But I only helped Mike, German AND Nat..So my imput isn't worth much.But I would like to see an all motor 29 x 10.5 slick class next year.

[carplight]

I am trying to make the best decission possible and I realize some people will do work on their cars if rules are changed so the last thing I want is to have people spend money they dont need to.I guess I need to figure out how to put a bigger tire under my car if I dont I dont think Iwill be able run with cars that are tubbed and have a bigger tire. I had the smallest tire of the cars that have won but if we all ran radials I think this would give the nontubbed cars a chance against the tubbed cars

[carplight]

tires is the only thing most of us are talking about we just dont need a outlaw 10.5 car show up that would be very discouraging for most of us and if we have to run radials or dots I think this would keep then out

[Bad A]

AMEN TO THAT..Once a few outlaw 10.5s show up that will probably be the end of a great race series.I could be wrong but I have seen that happen before.The little guys are always looking for a good local race to run, because they dont have the funds to run with the big boys.Those guys have plenty of places to race without jumping in to one for the poor boys too.

[carplight]

Factory Glass, NO LEXAN except trucks back window only
Any Drag radial smaller than 30x10.5 as measured including 315/60,325/50,295/65

[Tom]

I agree. you'll get one or two outlaw 10.5 cars that are too slow to run with the guys in their own class, so they come to outrun some street cars and make some $$$ in the process.

same with limited street cars. like one that just came out "to have some fun". what fun is it to bring a purpose built class racecar out to race against street cars that are half a second or more slower??? I guess it's fun if you get beat so much in your own class that that is the only way you can win something.

the money is the biggest draw. big $$$ brings out big $$$ racecars.

I haven't made any of the races this year, so I'm sure my opinion means little if anything. but if 4 sec cars are going to start showing up, I'm going to put steamroller slicks back under my car and just be happy to hook it up. while it's true that the fastest car doesn't always win....they do win most of the time.

[camaross111]

Everyone is going to have a different opinion on the tires.
I believe when the Bounty was started. The tires were to keep the TRUE ( high dollar) race cars out and It worked. The second the rules were changed the outlaw cars came.

I vote to put the rule back to the street tires, same size for all the cars.
Start a short cruse from the track. If the car doesn't make it, or you don't cruse, you can't race.
Less have fun with this and not turn it into another Outlaw race.
The tire were set that way because these are supposed to be true street car.
Mike

[6ohnova]

Yes we are but I am going to run it on motor the fuel pump was bad and I have sent it BG for a rebuild we will see you their jeff


hey carp, i can get another bg 400 to use if you want to

[carplight]

hey carp, i can get another bg 400 to use if you want toI have allready changed pumps I had a holley black pump we are just going to run on motor this sat. thanks anyway I am going to put a bigger fuel line on it and a new pump for the nitrous system . plus a few other things for next year :)

[FatRat1969]

I agree that the dot tire was one of the draws,along with the blacked out boards.

First off that is why we came "to have some fun" Its not like racing is a wise money investment, people do it because they like it,and have a good time doing it. How is bringing his car to race any different than half the other cars? You tell me that. Some of the cars there, not all, but some, are all setup the same way his car is, so tell me the difference. And as far as not being competitive in the class he runs in, LOL YOU need to get a fucking clue buddy, because you dont know shit. As far as the tire rules, thats up to yall, if it be slicks thats fine, radials thats fine, but I guess the same old ones are gonna bitch and gripe when one of these (Outlaw) cars as you all call them put on some radials and smoke their ass.

I don't think Tom was talking about Brandon. I believe he was referring to the outlaw 10.5 car that was at the last race.
We're just stating our opinion about tire size and how the rules are going to be set next year.
So chill, BIG GUY! Everyone isn't against you guys.
I don't think even Brandon would wanna run against the car that was at the last bounty.

Well I was going by the "We were there for fun" part, because thats what I said, We came to the race for fun, and we did. If he was'nt I apologize, but thats the way I took it since he said Limited Street car. I didnt make the last bounty, which car are you refering to? Everyone has there own opinion, and I'm sure the rules will get worked out. Im gonna stay out of it.

We want everyone's opinion about the rules, that way Jim can adjust them to fit as many people as possible.
The car at the race was a black T/A. a outlaw 10.5 car.
I know you guys are there having fun. That what it all about. But if those type car start coming. Other's will stop. Because it wont be fun to run against something like that.

I can't run with a outlaw 10.5 car and nether can anyone else that was in the bounty.
This race is fun for all the fast street cars. less keep it that way.

[yardbird]

arent most of theses cars purpose built cars anyways hadnt seen to many on the street and cars that i know of on the streeet aint racing here

[camaross111]

Well, I would say yes they're built cars. As for driving them on the street.
No, I would think none of these cars are everyday drivers. But. Me, German and Speedy has and will drive our car on occasion. I sat in traffic in Gatlinburg and my car never got over 200 deg.
Less just say Street-able cars but not all out race cars.

[Tom]

maybe a little off topic, but does anyone here other than me and speedy have tags, insurance and actually drive their car on the street???? and I mean drive it like you would any other car....and I don't mean just down to the corner gas station for a pack of smokes either. I mean on the interstate at the posted speed limit, around town through the stoplights and to the shows and cruise ins???....that is what a streetcar is to me, not just a car with 10.5" tires and mufflers.

you beat me to it.

if you lived in my area, you would see my car on the street quite a bit. the hpt guys from knoxville can vouch for that. many of them have seen my car out on the streetand at a few cruise ins. many times 30-40 miles(one way) from my home. my car runs just fine on pump gas and I have a set of real street radial tires that I run on the street. I love to hear my cam beating the ground and especially love to hear those turbos spin when you pull away from a stop or throttle the car beside a barrier on the interstate. and there's nothing like a quick spool then popping the blow offs at the ricers. it's funny to see them almost run out of their lanes....yep, I'm nuts....I know it!

streetcar "a car on rails for public transportation along certain streets" I guess we dont have streetcars:doh: :)

yep, you're worried about your high stall heating the tranny too much on a very short cruise...yep, you certainly don't have a street car....I couldn't resist. :D :D :D

j/k

I hear those thing are heavy turds that have a top speed of 40 MPH or so.
I guess Tom's car fits the description. J/K:)

in what way would that be???

[camaross111]

Well most are black, big and are slow.

[Tom]

Well most are black, big and are slow.

a street driven car will never be as fast as an all out race car.

[camaross111]

a street driven car will never be as fast as an all out race car.
That's true. That's also why my cars so slow. You know I have the weight of a tag and insurance card also.

[Tom]

That's true. That's also why my cars so slow. You know I have the weight of a tag and insurance card also.

darn.....join the small club. :D

[Bad A]

yep the only three true street cars on here.are you coming down sat TOM???

[camaross111]

I can't drive at interstate speeds, So yours must be slower then mine.

[Tom]

not sure yet if I'm going to have to work saturday or not. that will be the deciding factor. all of this rain has thrown us way behind and it's impeded my cashflow. if I end up working sat, I may go to 411 later that night. they are having an outlaw street shootout and they usually prep the entire length of the track on those days.

[Tom]

I only have to change valvesprings once every year or two, so yours must be faster than mine.

[carplight]

j/kyea your right about my trans but if you put john deere Hy guard tractor fluid in the tranny you would be amazed how well it works I cant run pump gas in my car. If i had twin turbos like you and low compression I could but it would be to slow for me I am a NITROUS junky so you know how that laughing gas works it make you act funny:gaga:

[carplight]

Well most are black, big and are slow.and some are lose and make a mess:)

[Tom]

and some are lose and make a mess:)

you got me there. I was loose and made a mess saturday at bowling green. :)

[blk91coupe]

Did you get any full 1/4 passes up at BG? Bet it would fly down the 1320!!

:) Yep, Mine is taged, insured, and if you would like We are driving about 20 miles Saturday to be in a car show and you could come follow us.And by the way where have you been at these Bounty races?I dont remember having to race you.

His car isn't fast enough to be there. The temperamental turbos has bit him in the ass.
But he sure is a fast Internet racer.:kiss:

So is your car back together.

That is the truth.......this topic has been beat to death in any kind of "street car" racing: How do you define a street car? My car is registered and has all the lights and mufflers on it and with a street legal tire could be driven on the street....but what is the use. I have 2 other vehicles to get me back and forth and they are a WHOLE lot cheaper to maintain. Very few people in my area do any kind of cruise events so to just get in it and drive down the road proves nothing to me. I will race mine but really could care less about driving it on a public highway. Besides that some dumb ass hits you and tears it up that would be an expensive joy ride.

I don't know what would give you that idea, Mike. the car is fast enough. it's just the driver that is a little slow sometimes. I remember something about someone eating a sandwich before they left the line, hell, I would eat a sandwich, bag of chips and a snickers since I wouldn't be going anywhere for a while. :nod:

the turbos haven't done anything but make big power. enough that I haven't gotten it down the track clean even once so far.

[Tom]

from the page before.


I haven't made any of the races this year, so I'm sure my opinion means little if anything.

[camaross111]

You should come and play in crossville.
I want to see you skate around and have some fun. Maybe put down some #. I would like to see that.
Just don't stand too close after you run. I hear you shit your shelf. So I will suggest some Cheese.


I'm gonna ask, What is the big deal with the turbo. If you can't make a clean pass. It just seems like a waste.
Maybe you need to use my STEAMROLLERS. 33x10.5w's on bead-locked 15" wheels.

Peace

I wasn't refering to you, Glen. you had said in another thread that you drove your car to some shows and cruise ins. I had already given you props for that. :nod:

it's all a matter of making the car work with the turbos. I haven't done anything to the chassis yet. I've just been happy to run what it's running. some da shocks and chassis tuning would sure help. maybe this spring. :nod:

[mighty mouse]

[Bad A]
