Slow L.U.V competion?

[Frank The Tank]

I am starting to notice a lot of guys in this portion of the U.S.

I would love, to have a get together..... with real live racing, and events.
My brother blew my doors today in his 76 chevy smoking like hell and all.... I would like an event catored to slow vehicles, because our trucks stock couldn't pass a geo-tracker down hill.
These are my thoughts.

1/8th mile drag racing depending on track 1/4..... extremely loose rules. head to head. All small vehicles (not car, maybe a weight limit?) welcome, bronco, jeep, RBT's, Rangers, yes S-10's those crappy frontier things, Chevy LUV's, and I'm sure I'm missing a few.
4cyl, 6cyl, naturally aspirated classes. then-other which would be N.O.S, forced induction, v-8. they would all be pretty evenly matched.
An entry fee, a purse (minus cost to rent a track)
I want to line up against one of you guys in a first gen 2.9liter 5spd, and row the gears like hell in my 97 2.3 5spd. just for kicks. and nobody would be bored with slow racing because we all love RBT's. Smoked clutches "like mine" and rust should be a common thing, of course at Windy Hollow drag way, (or bowling green even, if we could get money, and folks) show vehicles are always present.

If this generates any interest (a dyno day would be pointless, we'd all crack out 115hp, 230hp.... etc) but a sled pull (they have a mini sled at the local fairgrounds) a cruise and dinner would be nice, maybe hit a local concert that a radio station would be at. (I'm convinced with proper advertising, such an event would not be a small matter)

Wow, not a lot of drag racers or meet-n-greet people, maybe I can just find a Ford Gathering, and throw my 04 against some pro-mod dragsters.

I think it's actually a pretty cool idea, I ain't never really seen anything like that.
Bowling Green is not too much of a drive from here, I just ain't gots no dough.

Yeah, BG is super cheap if you get enough people to go (they make money off concessions and spectators)

we had our last Diesel Meet there, did truck pulls, drag racing, dyno pulls.
Was awesome (but diesel event is permanently banned) the harley guys only got banned for 10 years and they killed like 3 people.

What was the reason for banning the Diesel meet? I have only been to one Diesel meet ever but it was one of the most awesome events I have ever been to...the things they do with those Diesel engines kicks azz!

I don't know where the other raceway your talking about is, but I would love to see those events done with RBV's, I think it would be fun as he??.

P.S. In reference to another post you made.......I wish the farm you work on was closer, I speak good English & I need a job!

Some drunken idiots (i was drunk after the meet... but at a campsite with a bunch of friends sitting around [ ) hooked trucks to chains on the drag track and ripped up the rubber laid in the launch area.... then went mudding in the stop field and wrecked into the wall slinging mud all over the course. one fellow got his truck hung-up and was given a full escort to the jail-house.

but that's not the point of the thread. I want a slowest truck not sandbagged prize as well.
