    I wholeheartedly agree with the "everyone has an opinion" comment and of course, someone will complain no matter what is said or done as usual. You can't make everyone happy. For me, a street driveable 5-second car, with plates and insurance that gets a few miles put on it on the public roads qualifies. However, completing the virtual hell week that these track-to-track torture tests/events can be, lends a great deal of credence or credibility (read Respect there) to any claim ET or MPH. Everybody on the list should be happy to be on it, and appreciate Tom's consideration in his making of a list. Having made Drag Week multiple times and heading to Rocky Mountain Race Week this year as a spectator I'm always amazed at the effort it takes just to complete any of these events and everyone should be applauded for what is a very serious achievement. Looking forward to watching the Nomad, and Alex Taylor in her '55. You guys have a good week!!!

    Great effort Tom it would be great to see a class that did drag drive and circuit that would really sort the men out from the boys .Most of these cars couldn't be beat on constantly on the street without overheating unless the radiator is huge and billet heads are questionable they just idle along but it is was it is and they deserve the ranking
    I suppose the european and Japanese cars would dominate if a circuit course was added I doubt the gt40 or corvette could compete

      @Norm Macdonald Show he could have done, if he hadn't retired. But Frosty was never interested in the whole Endurance Event thing - nobody runs their best numbers at Drag Week and Frosty always wanted to run the very best numbers which he, the car and the team were capable of. There are some plans in place to create a "UK Drag Week" type event, and it'll be interesting to see what cars attend and what numbers get run - but I'd wager it'll be a long time before anyone in the UK (or Europe) runs street legal numbers close to what RV3 achieved

If The car inspection is sus they might ask for dyno papers so u go dyno it on a really low rev with engine turned down and its done then and If The car is 50 yrs old or older no future inspection is needed after the one u do to register it as a custom vehicle.

I'm sure 1320 will get it covered when it goes down.. I definitely see how the lines begin to blur when it comes to "Street car" status. I think you guys are taking it to the very finest lines of the rules but thats how you gotta be to be in your bracket.
    Thats why there's rules to every bracket. I'm not going to bad mouth you or anyone else pushing the limits. I do however think there is a huge difference from "driving it on the street" and "driving it for a race week".. for the latter as it stands you sir have the most accurate version of a nonstreet car street car.
    Awesome job doing sick week BTW one of my fav types of videos to watch is these race week videos and all the ups and downs that go with it it is the true test of a cars ability and some day I hope to be able to wrench a car worthy of doing one! Be safe out there man

      @@xXxSelnixxXx, I completely agree, matter of fact real steel is the top class in my opinion. I get race cars can be tagged and insured, but they were never what they represented. At least the Nova and S10 had a true vin # and were once a real vehicle that drove actual miles. Yes the truck needed massive changes from street to strip, but at least it was once stock. But I do agree the Nova and the ones like it (Javelin and the gold 67 chevelle that ran the last Drag week 2019)) were what the whole thing was about.

    Some states are such dicks. In massachusetts, if it didn't come that way it won't pass inspection. No inspection, no registration, not legal. And if your car does come with something, say a rear window wiper w/washer...it has to work to get an inspection sticker. When you pull your vehicle in for a sticker they scrape off your current sticker and then test it and inspect it. If it passes, he puts the new sticker on and you're good to go. If your car fails, he puts a nice red sticker that says FAIL across it.

    My opinion, if your car isn't street legal its not a street car. So if you do or have to put it on a trailer to get to the race it's not a street car. Feel free to pick something else to say what your car is and race as you wish. But I race in the street with my car like so many others. And we never put our cars on a trailer. And we dont have to use terms like it kinda legal or it's technically a street car. We drive it to the race, race it. And drive it home.

      A lot of it, I assume, is the restrictions in the particular city/state. For example in my state (Ga.), out of all the counties, there are only 13 that have inspections or emissions testing. My county (Bulloch), isn't one of them. So technically, I could tag and insure anything that I have a vin # on. However there is a few restrictions, that even I have to follow. State law says, if the car has cats, they have to stay, or be replaced if necessary. Anything before the application of cats don't need them of course. But if you keep the exhaust quiet enough, they rarely ever inspect, so rarely ever gets caught. That is my state and my county, others may be much more restrictive, or even looser

      @A Man In A Hat These organizations can't run one set of rules, that would exclude so many people and this is strictly fun. if this were NASCAR or NHRA yes a set set of rules would work, because there's money to be made. But for these type things it's dependent on the tagging state. If Cali then you have laws to follow, In my county in GA the only thing i got to worry about is noise (no emission checks). I could fix that with electric cutouts or long enough pipes off turbos to dissipate the noise. It's all about the state you live in and the specific county in my case (13 have checks and also pull over checks). the only solution if you want to run tags without checks is move where they don't do checks, or vote the motorheads in

    If it doesn't have steel roof and qauarters, working lights/turn signals, and can make a 20-30 mile cruise, return and shut off, and start back on it's own power. It's not a street car. Period! Everything else is a glorified Pro-mod that gets a pass claiming to be a "street car". Just because you can "register" it in said state doesn't mean shit.

    I agree with your assessment, where I live it's like you, no emissions or inspections. However if you are running loud piped without cats, you can get ticketed. So my philosophy, is If you got it tagged and can actually street drive it, cool. Hearing Larson might be bringing the truck out again, made my year. I also heard Lutz might bring something (rather see the 57 than the promod), but would love to see you guys run again. Look forward to seeing any of you, that do show up.

    i also believe steel roof and quarters and minimal changes btwn street and track. i notice larson and lutz dont drive these new cars (larsons pickup has been on outlaws and no prep) but not the car. yea you can drive the pro mod on the street with a fake vin, but keep it the same for the track.

  • @adamtheninjasmith2985
    @adamtheninjasmith2985 3 года назад

    Basically what I can for the whole mph with a slower et or faster et with less mph is how hard it's accelerating and where. It also has to do with how long you have to accelerate too I believe. A car on the track longer might have more time to go vroom vs a car on the track less time? Shit gets complicated when you get going that fast. Top fuel physics are nuts and that's what I'm loosely basing this on with what I probably don't know... Lol

  • @paulcarter2879
    @paulcarter2879 3 года назад +10

    First off, I love all of this stuff! I just wanted to throw my opinion out there. I think to be a "street car" should be a steel cab, roof, quarters, with a factory assigned vin tag, and stock wheelbase for that production car. I think that pushes the capabilities of a builder/driver. That makes it more interesting to watch, instead of someone calling a promod a street car. Again nothing but respect, this is only my opinion.

    I love the fact that you ran your first 5 sec pass during drag week at my home track at Virginia Motorsports Park I can't even begin to tell you how many times my dad and I or a family friend and I have had either sleepless nights at the track or have slept in Kirkey's in line waiting for them to open the gates the next morning until we got an RV hell we've even thrown parties and cook outs while sitting in line waiting for them to start letting people in the gates and I'm not saying that we drove to the track that morning and it took them that long to open the gates I'm talking about like week long events and we would show up a day or two early to make sure we would end up with a good pit area and even showing up up to 2 days early we still wouldn't be the first ones there sometimes but all in all I have some great memories at that track taking 2-3 cars of our own and then not to mention all of our racing family would be there with their cars so all in all between all of us we would have about 10 cars racing and we would get someone to tow a pig cooker and cook a whole pig in the pits plus a bunch of other stuff during the week
