    Mopar FWD Drags at Columbus, OH 8/28

    http://www.srtforums.com/forums/f56/...bus-oh-609484/

    Darrell Cox Racing has arranged with Cliff from Import Faceoff (IFO) an all Dodge FWD Drag Race with their own classes; COX FWD Heads Up and COX FWD Bracket at the IFO event on Sunday, Aug. 28th in Columbus, OH.

    COX FWD Heads Up Class is Open to All street type FWD cars.

    CLASS SUMMARY
    Heads-Up, Pro-tree (.400) class for FWD only import/sport compact oem frame vehicles. Wheelie bars, one piece front ends, and straight axles prohibited for FI cars, OK for NA. Three qualifying passes permitted.

    BODY
    Import or domestic compact car bodies allowed. Lexan windows prohibited. One piece front ends prohibited for forced induction applications, but allowed for naturally aspirated. Tail lights and head lights required (one may be removed for induction purposes)


    INTERIOR
    Doors must open and close from inside and outside the vehicle. No center drive configurations. Dash must remain for forced induction applications.

    CHASSIS AND SUSPENSION
    Full tube chassis prohibited. Back-half chassis and tubes are not allowed. No center-drive systems. Wheelie bars and straight axles prohibited for forced induction applications, but allowed for naturally aspirated.

    ENGINE
    Only OEM 4 or 6 cylinder motor entries allowed. No air-cooled or rotary engines allowed. Motor swaps allowed as long as they stay within the same manufacturer.

    POWER ADDERS
    Turbochargers (limit 72.9 mm), Superchargers, and Nitrous Oxide Systems permitted in any combination.

    DRIVETRAIN AND TRANSMISSION
    FWD only.

    EXHAUST
    Any type of exhaust system permitted.

    TIRES
    Slicks (26.0 limit) or DOT approved tires allowed.

    COX FWD Bracket Class is Open to All street type FWD cars. All mods/stock welcome. Run what you brung!

    Entry Fee is $50 for either class with 100% Pay Out Going Back to Racers! Amount of Pay Out is determined by the number of cars entered!

    For example, 16 cars in Cox FWD Heads Up Class= $800 pay out between the winner and runner up. 70% going to the winner and 30% to the runner up. Winner= $560 with Runner Up=$240.

    Our option as of right now is to increase the entry fee to $100 for a higher pay out, this is completely up to you. We'll let the racers decide. Your input is welcome! We need to get going on this because we have 2 weeks to give an answer to IFO.

    Sounds like a fun event.
    Maybe I might come to to this with our 2008 Sonata V6.
    If I can find a the miss in the turbo mini I would bring that instead.

    I have plans to be there with the Matchbox already! Will we be able to run in our race AND beat the snot out of the import dudes too? I think a $100 entry fee will scare off a lot of people.

    I just looked at their race rules and all the classes say import/sport compact only, so I might save my 25 bucks and spectate.

    I have to check when I get there. It's 25 for the open test and tune or 25 for competition and you get to run test and tune between rounds.

    What's going on Saturday night? I'm planning on leaving Sat. morning and staying Sat. night somewhere in the area.

    EDIT: never mind I for some reason thought Columbus and Cincinnati were close together.
