I am a bit spoiled by our local track where you pull into the staging area & if you want water, you back into it. It is a much better system than I have seen anywhere else for giving folks options.

Youde like this one. My last TNT hunting for a Pbest took me afar to a new track for me -Byron IL.
There is a barrier behind the lanes that you have to drive around and then back into the water if you want.
I didn't like it because you had to pull in Right close behind the car launching -they rushed us. I also didn't like it because it was harder to find the groove out of the box -away from the 'off groove' debris.
Was a great site and track though.

Is there a heads up unlimited class for any gen Camaro? Is class 5 unlimited only for 5th/6th gen? Thinking about bringing my 1st gen big tire car.

Any Camaro in unlimited. #5 has no 5/6 gen designation in the description.

Edit: this is now class #1 after re-order.

I get the need to have the turnout like mlee has said but having bolt-ons vs. Nitrous & FI builds in the V6 stable doesn't leave a lot of fairness it's like putting an SS against a ZL1 stock for stock. I mean had the Gretchen and Jantzen cars not exploded their guts on that amazing heads up run the closest would've been rick to them and he wasnt running his nitrous and was i think a 13.3? Your talking a full 3 seconds almost there.
I will be making it this year and we have 3 other TT guys spraying meth and with a built short block outside of Frank (Gretchen build). We also have a few overkilled v6 guys who should be showing up.

There will be more stuff like that at the 2018 fest. Would be nice if he would just come say something instead of blasting off on Facebook. I4 and V6 always get props but we can't catch everything on the spot.

Trent sold his setup to Alan; Alan just had GPI finish his build, made 604rwhp and 558.9ft*lbs tq

That's cool i hope they all show up this year the V6s really don't get the credit they deserve but that's just my opinion i know the mods really do care and they do a great job just sucks to be in the boat they are trying to help everyone. I hope we get more V6 racers this year that's a lot of the issue and that's not my opinion it's a fact that the numbers game for V6 racers sucks when it comes to Fest. I think they need to talk with the V6 circle who come to the camarofests and split it up anyway and not wait for 8 or more to show for a class seperation. A little progress there i feel would go a long way in easing the underlying tension on the subject. I mean we only had two I4s race last year hopefully more this year but a lot of that community seems to be all talk and no go for these events.

I was supposed to make it last year; however, my old performance shop, JE Import Performance pushed me back, then back burned my build, then worked on other cars, kept telling me everything was easy, etc, etc and what was supposed to be 2 months worth of work, 10k paid up front and all the parts supplied (in addition to the car) is turning into 6 months

Will be great to have you this year for sure.

I've edited the classes to add add V6 modified.

Also, since we always run Unlimited cars first I reversed the class order.
