im not sure how many "kids" are racing 1/8th scales..

but grown ups who like 1 set of rules. and strait fwd competition tend to like racing.

im just sick of it right now. everyone wants a damn class for them selfs . my car had 3 different rims and 2 sizes of tires.. i really think we need a trunk class for that. 70% of people i know have mix matched tires and they need a place to compete.

I'm ready, already got my truck ready

1/8 scale racing is tough

there was 1 trunk car at finals that had been cut .. i told a few judges its not legal ...but i guess since it didn't win no biggie

the caddy changed classes. thats "oldschool" on here. i dnno who else.

well you know how usaci is. if its not loud it dont matter. the rules only matter for people putting up good numbers lol

Yep that was me I changed classes after jeff told me it was not kosher and alan sorry man for bringing up the subject of multiple classes for trunk I ain't got nothing but respect for you I actually don't need a class for myself I can play in what ever class I choose to I was just speaking my mind just throwing out some ideas to get some new blood in the class I know fred told me that finals was weak compared to last years and I hated to hear that cause like most of y'all on here I had my 1st system before I even had my car lol :-)

nah man.. its not you especially lol its just most usaci competiters as a whole.

To add more ambiguity to Alan's quickly dissolving sanity... How EXACTLY is trunk defined??

RAV's have optional trunk covers, which nearly, almost, a little, seal off the trunk from the cabin. You could stuff a few speakers back there.

I think mod trunk is a great idea....we need toda decide what is stock trunk ? 0-1000 , 0-2000 or just open power ?

Lol.. That's clearly a suv..ss or stock or sb. .

chris your wrong if the factory deems it to be a trunk after the cover is installed you cant prove its not with the current rules and the wat they read.

this is something that needs to be done all the rules need to be defined down to the very last detail

well... this keeps me wanting to do street beat more and more... at least they have some rules......

Kinda like the Hummer running trunk at one of the shows.....

if the car owners manual deems iot a trunk after that peice is put on then who are you to dispute that

Not disputing. Well if thats the case I vaguely remember the crx owners manual stating that once the rear panel was in place it was a trunk too i think.

Trunk Rules are in place ..this thread is only about tring to fill the lanes with more than 7 trunk cars at finals

not if you start chopping up the cars.

All I need to know is if we are keeping the trunk classes so I can either go buy a 2 door neon and if we are not then screw it I said I would never do it but the caddy is getting a wall :-)

well i already cut the floor out of the civic and have a battery rack for 8 batteries in it, will fwd fire 2 18s now with over 400 inches of port. should be loud
