I would love to go to reynolds but 1100 miles away & coming up real soon probably won't happen this year. It's been a REAL slow winter for business. Maybe next year.
Is this over the 67 weight break? What is the fastest anyone's been with a 67? 9.80? 9.50? Like you said Jason, it's still just a proposal anyways. I don't really see someone coming in with a 67 car running 8's. The ratings don't mean alot till someone runs the number. The 71's have made more like 900hp to the tire so it seems.
I'm running a 70 & plan on racing some this year.
Apparently, instead of trying to help the class and increase participation a few racers have decided to basically threaten to stop racing and try to kill the class without even placing a vote. Hopefully this isn't the case and we can all have some fun racing since that is what has been said over and over again in the past. "We just race for fun".
I plan on racing and having fun and getting more sponsors to pay out some money to the racers that participate.

I can't speak for anyone else, but we are not trying to kill the class. We are not voting on anything that we have voted on in the past. I don't know why you are worried about us not racing. From the looks of all the people that have voted in this thread, it looks like you will have the biggest turnout in TSM in years. As for the 67, we might buy into that if we were not testing with one of the smaller 67's. Those 67's are making some good power, a weight break for them is not needed. There is no current rule keeping the 67 from running in TSM. If someone has to buy parts to compete on this level, then that is the way it is, that simple. In your PM last night you said that we want other people to buy parts but we don't want to spend money on the Banana.
Well here is a list of things we are doing to the banana this winter.
Driveshaft (remember we lost this at BG)
Rebuild motor
all aluminium & billet parts in the trans
Ford 9"
AMS1000
New brake system
new plenum
tires
vaccum pump
Don't think Tim is affraid to spend a little money.
This is about keeping the core rules of TSM intact. I think it say alot about what is going on here that the regular TSM racers that attend most of the races have not participated in this thread.
I tried to keep this in PM, but you kept posting up what I was PM'ing, so here is my PM back.

Your 4 hard core TSM guy's down 4 sure now. You better think real hard about this unless your trying to get rid of us anyway.
Besides georgia we have only missed two events since 06 that we can think of. We had to get a turbo to play so we don't feel sorry for anybody else that has too. Same goes with a trans and anything else that it might take to be competitive.
We have a ths car so we will still be there having fun.
btw, your reply's to Tim were like you guy's say Kip reply's. We all thought that was funny.
Good luck with your new class
