Headsup Class@Turbo Thunder
This would be a class for any turbo powered car or truck
 Id try to get one sponsor for this class to payout only to the winner.It wont effect our payouts from the Buick sponsorship money to the Buick car owners running the regular classes(11:50 and slower/11:49 to 10:00 and 9.99 and faster). Also all cars or trucks in headsup have to run a least 9.5???? during time trials to make it into elimations  This would let other turbo charged cars run in a class that wont effect the core group of GN guys this race is about.We all like racing or friends in other Buicks but i would love to see other cars run in our event without watering down the GN side of this event. What about making our dial in classes Buick Turbo only and making that side of the race devoted to us Buck guys To me a fast turbo car is cool no matter what badge it has on it..

Gene, I think that's a great idea, it eliminates any potential problems before they start. It will open things up for more cars and keep the original T-Type, GN, Syclone and Typhoon arena intact. I had a great time running at TT7 last year and look forward to attending TT8 this year! Personally I like the heads up deal, even if it means that I'll probably have my ass handed to me (I really suck at bracket racing too!)

Gene,
I think the headsup class is a good idea.. I know this event is mostly for the GN guys, but it would be cool if other cars could compete. Would you guys allow turbo imports if they were faster than a 9.5??? We are in no means trying to step on toes, just looking for some good racing. Tim

Tim, when I talked to Gene on Saturday that's what we were thinking. As long as it can run the number its in! I was going to PM you yesterday on the other board but alcohol and football got in the way!

7 and 0 so far in favor of a headsup class with any power plant and a 9.5 cutoff or you cant compete
