Dok, something you can do the 90 Yami up for. And a reason for me to do that 90 E-tec project.

I with Don on this one!!!
I think a T drag class would be a lot of fun!!!
maybe just a run what yea bring class and do a staggered
start! that way the extra weight wouldn't change boat set up. just have a minimum amount limit.

I guess it all depends on if drag guys want to include us once they get some races going. I know the idea wasn't welcomed before. I have a feeling some of these could dust some big boats...

Drag has always been interested in running T type classes however the powers that be said there wasn't time in the schedule.
If there's interest in running em I'm all for it.
I don't think there'd be a single current drag racer who'd have an objection.
All we need to do is establish a basic set of rules to get things rolling.

back in the day there was bracket drag racing. We ran the voodoo against larger boats in the same bracket... and beat a few of them too.

Good to know. I'm interested for sure, but would be hard to commit to getting out with the car racing. I had already planned on taking next season off T850 just because I had maybe 2 weekends free from spring till now. Never know though, I didn't plan on doing all the TORC races this year and I did...

T drags would be awesome! That would add so much hype to the roster.

since it is a new class would it not make sense for the first year to use the 750 and 850 boats that will already be there and see how it goes..... something more fun might be a sprint class my be head to head with a drag style start run 660 feet each boat turns out and 180 degrees and runs back to the start line!!

I think that might be more of a crowd pleaser
