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?!?!?

one of the best races I have ever seen.. thank god for power...

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..

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.

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...

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

Just because it says pro doesnt mean tube chassis'd cars should be able to run with stock frame cars. The class name is just a name. The class description makes the class. Anyway, its not that big of a deal. Your hatch would have been an all motor pro car. But if i had my car and i had to race your blue car in my class id be pretty pissed.
Come on now man just think about that.

And damn man. Have you taken the head off yet?

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
