We're allowing Hot Rod cars in FWD Quick 8 this year. Guess it's ok since no one has said anything?

I doubt any show up anyway. Payouts have been spread to semis just in case.

Well, i think it sucks, but i didn't think it was up for discussion. lol How do you expect a street car to compete with a hot rod car? Almost as bad as us having to race mid 8 sec. supras. lol

"How do you expect a street car to compete with a hot rod car?"

Because at IFO events they do it all the time and actually WIN more than the hot rod cars do. You won the Import Quick 16 last month, so you should already know this. There were 2 hot rod cars, a 10 second skyline, and an 8 second supra, but you still won.

We're allowing them to race in FWD Quick 8 this year because IFO events don't bring in enough Hot Rods to make a seperate class for them. The few hot rod cars that do attend IFO events don't seem to be very reliable. You'll see... I bet you win this one too. Good luck

Well, i'm hoping to win, just like everyone else there, but that's beside the point. From what i've seen, it seems like the hot rod cars that make it out are just testing anyways, so why not let them run exibition? I could run Pro FWD at most events and do pretty good too, but i'd like to run in a class of cars that are competitive, know what i mean? I like going to a race knowing that if i do good, that i'm very comptetive. Anyone can win a race if cars break, but that's not what you want to go to an event hoping for. I'll be there either way...

My ride is up and running! Having a few issues, but it shouldn't take me a month to figure it out! (hopefully ) So I think it's safe to say you can count Darkness in!
