The only rule that bothers me is the new dash rule. I've been running the same car with the same setup for years and I've never been told that I needed an OEM dash in the car. But I've also never been teched by cliff himself until this year. I guess I gotta do some real work to the car now lol

On a serious note I had a great time at IFO this year.. It just seemed to have a very happy and excited feel.. One of the biggest events that I can remember in a while and the line was still half a mile down the road till after 12'clock.. Had fun racing the wagon and wish I could of kept it together longer but I knew there was no chance of winning against all the big dogs that showed up in FIP.. Cant wait for next year..

Re: IFO Montgomery, AL 11/4 & Gainesvile, FL 10/7
I personally think all motor "pro" should be able to run all of that... I promise my one piece front is heavier than factory fenders hood and bumper, then u got few cars with no cages at all and I have a 14 point with parachute so that makes me heavier anyways and I still can't run amp??? I think it's kinda stupid and I'm not being a sore looser bc I still somehow managed to take 2nd in fwd and take home some money but don't feel like that's the class I belong in, then if I spray it so I can make the power to keep up they throw me in with 7 and 8sec cars?!?!?

cliff does what he does for a REASON
nice clip of my car killing the oil pump. the gauge was a lil questionable but the engine died on its own TWICE and it became zero oil pressure. bleh

Re: IFO Montgomery, AL 11/4 & Gainesvile, FL 10/7
be thankful you even have a class to race in. IFO is the only one to allow your type of car to race in S/FWD. There are def not enough cars like yours to have your own class. Wheelie bar AM cars do NOT belong with non-wheelie bar, oem frame AM cars. Of the 4 times wheelie bar AM cars have entered FWD this year, they've won twice and placed 2nd the other two times. The results and true numbers show our ruling isn't "stupid"... 4 out of dozens and every time made it to finals. FWD is for your type of car, NOT AMP. Do not expect us to change the rule. Wheelie bar AM cars are running mid 9s.
O and by the way final round me vs Jason comp clutch came apart not letting clutch fully disengage, Mis shifted, floated the valves, and destroyed head, one piston, and 4 valves blown90 what's the chances of u having a vid of that pass? I would like to see how bad it was

I don't have Willie bars...???? But even if I did its allmotor "pro" and I think a "pro" car should be able to run full tube chassis if they want, and disco had no dash but was just told to just have one next time??? its whatever though just voicing my opinion, rules are rules, i knew what class i was running when i went, and I'm there to have fun...

That's why you build a car to fit the rules. Don't build a car then cry after your realize you don't fit in the class you wanted too. Just my 2 cents

My hatch is lighter than my coupe lol I may throw it in a super gutted, no cage dash only insight so I can be lighter and faster, then run amp
