I was going to race along with JDAWG, but with the rollbar requirement for all cars below 11.50 will keep me out(won't put one in, don't want it ). I guess all NHRA tracks will require them from now on. Now that Roof announced the 30th of April V-10 Nats race in BG, Atlanta is a no go for most that were planning on Atlanta.

 

[REDGAR]

I did not realize that about Atlanta.

Really sucks you guys can't come.

No vipers this series is going to suffer

TTT

 

[J DAWG]

would love to race with the vettes, but like Mike I don't won't to put a bar in the car.

There is a big SUpra/Viper event Saturday in SAn Antonio if you didn't notice. Lots of guys will be there.

Edgar,
No flame intended - just the facts. This roll bar issue just demonstrates who's serious and who isn't. Why would the Vipers be exempted from a roll bar rule that we've been living with all along? I agree that it will hurt the ASCC series but there's nothing stopping stock Vipers from running in the Original Street class.

 

[99RT10&GTS]

Jerry, most Viper owners won't beat on their cars, like the guys that improve upon the performance. Hence when we do, and break the 11.50 barrier, we are told to cut up our interiors and put in a roll bar. Thanks, but no. It is too intrusive to have a roll bar. Hell, a stock Viper can do 11.77. Any mods would push it into that territory

 

[JerryZ06]

99 RT/10,
Thanks for the reply. I understand the dilemma about tearing up your car. There's more room in the Corvettes, I guess it's harder to put them in the Vipers.

i personally also dont buy this safety bullshit. why do i need a rollbar to go 138mph in a fully enclosed four wheeled 3500 pound vehicle but dilbert dumbass in his beefed up turbo busa can go over 180mph thru the traps on one wheel all day long with nothing but a set of pink neon riding leathers and a helmet.

safety my ass. :fist:


Oh BTW im not going because im gonna be in CANCUN doing double shots of tequila in 7.38 seconds. hows that for a fast time eh

 

[REDGAR]

Big Carrot, I will let you in on a little secret. I know and knew about the Texas thing that is why I said that in the original post you simply stopped reading after you felt it was time to stop reading my post.

Dawg I went right through your state on the way. Sure wish you could have joined me.

Mojo, I make that motorcycle all the time too. I hate that they get away from any additional safety stuff. However, picture this, bike gets loose, he jumps off and the bike goes away. Car gets loose, we are trap in a spinning possibly flipping 3500# box with no way to safely get out while it is out of control.

Riddle me this Batmen (plural intentionally), if the Vipers don't mind racing the Vettes, how come we never get invited to race in you non-sanctioned, non rollbar ruled events?

A stock Viper 11.7s is not the norm, at least from what I have seen. 11.7s is still legal with NO bar for one of these classes and we have only seen one compete. We can't say they are out there if they are not out there.

 

[J DAWG]

honestly, I would love to race vettes or hell any car for that matter. Unfortunately or fortunately there are other races for those of us who aren't up to snuff on safety and for now that fulfills my needs.


I have been speaking with some people about the Atlanta race and do plan on making that one since I know several of my viper friends will be there.

My ? is(and I know it has been answered somewhere) but can we run 10.50's or only 11.50's without a bar?


BTW, I hope the race turned out good for yall.

We do need this clarified for Atlanta. I think a 9.50 bottom limit with no bar would be juuuuust about right :bigsmile:

 

[99RT10&GTS]

The read I got from Ned was that due to NHRA rules, ANY car faster than 11.50 will required an NHRA approved rollbar. That's why I didn't bother going to No Problem. If I remember right JD said that Atlanta was extremely strict when checking for safety equipment

More important than a 4 point roll bar is a fence catcher and I think that they will be required at all V-10 races from here on out. I am looking into a group buy from www.fercecatchersrus.

I believe Atlanta is now under new ownership, maybe that will help.

Ownership: what I am going to do to you at the next race....again :rofl:

Just you wait to see who is crowned King of the V-10 Nats! When are the results coming out?
