Rock Falls May 7th

Hey, me, my brother and a couple of cousins and friends might be going. Who's all going in dsmstyles.com? My brother says he'll be happy hitting 16s with his 96 Honda Accord EX... :confused: ...lol. Well, just wondering who's all going. I heard it was pretty boring watching most of the cars hit 16s at the track last time, but this year might be the first year i'm going, so i'll just have to see. :)

I'll most likely be there whether I am racing or not but who knows. I got a new turbo and injectors now so I have to get it on the dyno and tuned this week so its possible that I'll be ready to go next weekend. If not I'll be at the Fun Day for sure. That is always better cause you get to see some nice ass cars run 10s and 9s all day long. Along with some that run 12s and 13s too. Last weekend (23rd) was awesome. Everyone got about 15-20 time trials in because there were no neons or cavaliers there! :D Plus there were only about 50-75 cars racing. Even saw a few sleds and a top fuel dragster was there.

I might go. Depends on if my cousin's want to go or not. I'll just sit and watch (if I feel like wasting all that gas to get there and see nothing great). So the chances of me going are slim. I'm waiting until a bunch of the DSMers from here go on the Fun Days.

I highly doubt there was a top fuel dragster (or nitro car) at rockfalls, that track is entirely to small for those speeds.
Probably an alcohol or methanol rail...

There could've been a dragster there. All you'll have to do is open the parachute up at the 1/8 mile mark and you're good...haha. :D

[EclipseGST]

Never said it ran... just said it was there... They wouldnt let him run but he was there. The guy that owns it threw a big fit cause they wouldnt let him go even though he paid for it.

[1slowdsm]

Oh...I thought he ran. I'd be pissed of if I couldnt run after I already paid....did he get a refund?

I might be going if TRE ever ships out my tranny in time.

You might have to drive to Michigan to get it back this year.

I believe you guys are referring to a guy that lives pretty close to me. It's not a top fueler. It's an alky car. I think he was just there to get it tech inspected. It's his first race car ever. I can't remember what he's running for horsepower. I think he said around 1,200+. My brother knows more about it. He's more friends to him than i am.

You will never see a top fuel dragster run at Rock. There simply isn't the room and the track sucks compared to NHRA tracks. It's rare to even see a Pro Stock car once in a great while there. Many people confuse a rail car for a dragster. Most of those are 8.90 indexed cars. Everyone in that class dials in at 8.90. To me, that's the most worthless class ever created. They put-put so to say to about 60' and then car takes off hard from there. Not a real crowd please without the hard launch.
