After seeing these rules, I am reconsidering. What kind of power/times do the cars that show usually run? I know it varies based on the night. Im just curious as to what seems to be the average times/horsepower.

Any Bikes Being trailerd will be allowed
This does not change the ruling for Cars... anyone trying to enter tonight with a car trailer will be turned away.. Either drive it in under its own power or unload in the street.

I'm surprised more Stangbangerz aren't going to this and cleaning up.
A good, consistent low 11's car has a great chance of winning.

We need some sub 11 second cars there to do that. The only thing I miss is the clock being on. What ended up winning the King of the Streets last night?

I agree. I had a great time lastnight. saw alot of stangs. I talked to a few of them but none of them were on stangbangerz. I think Im gonna run next week if I can make it. Ive got about 1000 mi on the new clutch I think its ready. Does anyone know if it cost to run in the King of Street? I wont win but Ill give it hell. And does anyone know what kind of times that 240 was turning? Hopefully some of faster stangs on here start going. And do they have a dyno yet? I didnt see it.

Well it will be a couple of weeks before I have a free Thursday night. But I think I will bring my junk down there and try to hang with some of these guys. I know it says you have to drive into the track. Are you allowed to run slicks as long as thats how you drive it into the track?
adragon72

Steve i have seen guys with slicks. i didnt see anything that says you cant change your tires there.
when you go let me know and i will meet you down there.

steve you can trailer it and drop it at the entrance that what most of the guys i know going down are doing . i plan on bring mine down in a few weeks go to get a few races out of the way first . there messing the track up so much might as well go down there and win some gas money ....

Thats cool. That was my thought as well. From the sounds of it, most of the cars down there are mid 11's and slower so I figure my low 11 second junk might be able to do something. I hear they aren't spraying the track though so who knows. Either way it should be fun and you cant win if you dont go. It will be at least 2 weeks or so before I can make one. The wife is getting surgery next wednesday. So next week is out for me with the exception of UMTR next Saturday. I exploded my countershaft in my tranny the other day so I am down til next week anyways.

Yeah, not as good of a showing as previous weeks...A 350z from Louisville came in and cleaned house...quite a bit of drama is being stirred up over this one...i can see both sides to this, but didn't participate so I can't really bitch! :lol:
rtvickers
07-08-2011, 02:26 PM
Yeah I went. Ran the Cobra. Was disappointed with it. It was the first time I ran it since I put the new clutch in. It seemed like it just didnt have the pull it before. But the times werent too bad. Considering I couldnt get out of the hole on my street tires. But I knew that would happen. My best was a 12.71 at 116.58. My best 60ft time was 2.214. I had horrible 60 times. But the clutch felt great.
I always have a good time at this event. I cant wait till some of the big guns on here show up and put these guys in there place. I did the King of the Street. I ran against the little white Lotus looking car. He got me by maybe a car length. Damn street tires. I dont agree with the way they do the KOS. The winner from last week dont have to run all the races. I think he should have to run just like the rest of them. Anyways, I had a good time.

07-08-2011, 03:15 PM
I was looking forward to going up there and having some fun running my stang, I knew I wouldn't have a shot at winning, but I'm definitely not going up there to run and get my ass toasted by 9s cars. That is no fun, and not worth the wear and tear on my stang.

07-08-2011, 04:01 PM
I was down there yesterday spectating, I have to admit that the 350Z was a fast car. alot of people but not a whole lot of participants actually racing KOTS.
rtvickers, I did see you running and smoking the tires to the 300' mark, nothing a set of M/T E.T. Streets couldn't handle.

bkstang95, What was the contraversy about that you were mentioning?
Just how everything was handled with the 350z (it was trailered from Louisville and then didn't meet the safety rules but was still allowed to run)...this turned into the "let's define a street car" conversation...this lead to the whole there should be different classes blah blah blah...basically people are going to stop going once faster cars show up bc they won't have a chance to win...

thiis is what i hope that fast guys show up and clean house then they will stop coming and stop tearing the track up for friday night . you will see me get trailered to the entrance and drive in from there.street car !!!! haha should be 5 or 6 more low9 high 8sec cars there in the next few weeks to hopefully they change how they run the thing .. if you beet them by 20 cars maybe they will wake up

Hopefully we can get the Dart down there on the bottle in the next week or so as well. I think its got some 9.80's in it but it will be trailered as well and driven in. Just to much to drive down there and chance breaking something.
facemelter71
07-08-2011, 07:33 PM
All you guys running even high 10's would have issues putting power down. That 350Z was half tracking the 240 and its a low 10 high 9 sec car. There is no track prep for this event. You guys will slip and slide all over the place.
9cobra4
07-08-2011, 08:04 PM
The guys from css that run this event pretty much every week, all have 130mph cars, or damn close. So no, it's not just a bunch of 11.50 cars and slower.

Yeah I know. Im working on that. I had brand new street tires on. I kept my old ones to beat up on at the track but I was too lazy to put them on Thursday. I have a set of goodyear slicks (27x15x10.5) Im working on a set of rims for them. If not I might just get a set DR's.

I agree. I hope some of the faster guys bring their stuff on thursday. I would love to see a mustang win every week. It only cost $10 and you could win $50-$100. Its not much I know but its fun. And if your the KOS the next week you only have to run in the finals. Only 2-3 runs. Cant wait to see you guys start busting some A##! LOL!

Is the race format for the Knight of the street the same as the King of the street? And Can you compete in both?

the only difference between the two is the domestic and import classes are mixed together.. also no bike class is offered for the knight OFS
you are welcome to compete in both

Might be fun, but it seems friday track is crap anymore, much less no prep on a thursday
may need stickier tires

They need to prep the track before someone gets hurt...

i don't get it, especially if they are making money.
my car launches like a beast at every track i go to, except local. i know the purpose built race cars still seem to hook up decent, but the average car does not.
does it cost that much to keep a track prepped?
the last 3 t n t's at e20, i have had 1 clean launch
i went to joliet and make 13 passes and hooked perfect every single one.

it went to shit when the started the thursaday crap .. they used to have a nice base from all the bracket racing on sat and no one would run on it till friday and then they would lett a few cars go down with no prep and then spray and dust so the rubber stick to the track instead of sreading off . now they run a hole night with no prep and the track shreads up and makes 3 foot bald spots . and there is no fixing that in a few hours of trying to prep it . it will take the cops or a few cars crashing for them to do anything so might as well go down and make some gas money thursday night to go to a good track and test

He surely does have a competitive car, can't take that away from him. I am hoping to have the Stang Dyno tuned soon to be down there and take it away, he has had it for the last few weeks. When are the StangBangerz big boys going to come down and take advantage of this?

He didn't win last week. The 350z did. But I agree, need to see more bangerz out there.

I agree. Cant wait for the big gunz to get there on Thursday and shut these guys up. I was in the stands for the KOS and everybody was talking so much shit. The Fbody's just cant get it done. Looks like the bangerz are gonna have to take over. Come on boys lets get down there on Thursday's and shut'em up.

becuase it teaers the track sufface up when you race on it with no cemicals to premote the ruber to bond to the sufface . that why since it started you show up on fridays and there is 3 foot wide bald spots at the starting line form the cars spining the ruber off on thursday and so its now a waste of time to show up and race on friday since they cant fix it till sat when big tire cars go down the track all day

fridays and there is 3 foot wide bald spots
yep saw those on friday when i went there with my son. All the cars were having serious traction issues. There were two pretty sick n20 stangs there that were spinning something fierce out of the chutes. There were a couple of slick cars hooking good but they were the exception.

the more i think about this, the more i'm over it already.
the whole trailer thing i think is silly, it's supposed to be for street racers, and street cars, but they are now allowing trailers for those coming away.
so,, that means there would be 97 cars racing instead of 100?? lol
takes away from the whole theme

Thats how they do it for the Knight of the street but the King of the street there is no break out. First car across the beam wins. Unless they didnt follow their ever changing rules. That sometimes change race to race. And sometimes you can agrue your way back into the race.
