Just a thought here...but I think we need to send out a few pm's to the guys on tech from Thunder about a Truck King of the Canefield. It looks like the top dogs are all going to show up, and it wouldn't take that long to do with the small number of trucks gunning for the top spot. I think its safe to say that truck owners are going to play a big part in the success of the shootout. What do you guys think? A heads up no excuses winner take home the "crown" so to speak.

P.S- This is a race I'll choose to see from the stands. :jest:

i agree, as much money as it takes trucks to run in the 10's, i think it's the least thunder can do for us. I am all for it. So what do the big 5 think of running for the crown?

sounds good to me :jest:

I am down but maybe we can do our own little shoot out saturday ?

If we could provide a sponsor for the the payout, I think they would give it a listen, but I think it would be to late this year.

how much of a payout would we need. Winner take all and the truck guys pay an extra 10 bucks for entry fee. Then we sponser ourselves. Hell we are already paying 55 bucks. I am sure we could squeeze another 10.

hmm, guess no one wants to add any commentary to this

what 55 bucks to race, well im out!


















ahhahaaa not, if needed i can scroung up 10 more bucks lol

you better be in, You and BigKID have a dual to tend to...lol.

is it 55 for the whole weekend? how much is it to watch?

55 is what i remember paying the last two times there. to just watch, not nearly as much. they will hand out wrist bands for everyone that pays. so if you get there friday night and pay to watch friday nights events and try to stay, (which you can easily do) someone might ask where your wrist band is. but i would suspect around 15 bucks for the entire thing.

we definately need this. 5 trucks would only be 4 runs to find the top dog. maybe we should go some kind of double elimination to make it last a little longer(and test durability/consistancy). i am not really sure what options there might be. we could sponsor ourselfs if we have to but i bet one of the site sponsors would be willing to throw in a few bucks.

has anyone asked anyone about the "truck king" idea yet? if not i will start asking around about it.

i am about to post a thread in the thunder shootout thing on tech. we'll see what happens, but if everyone paid an extra 10 bucks and we get over 30 trucks, thats 300 bucks right there, and if the ones running paid lets say, an extra 20 or so, then we could easilly have this pot up to 400 bucks or more before it's all said and done.

i didn't know you were looking at asking everyone to pay an extra $10. some people might get a little bent about paying extra even though it is only $10.

just asked so if you wanna go and post up please do so

well, eitherway, if we don't do it that way then we are gonna have to raise money some way shape form or fashion. or get a sponsor. we will have to do something but there will need to be a payout for this or everyone runs for free and risk blowing their shit up for nothing. over 30 trucks, we can squeeze some dough from somewhere.....

Well, I know I'm slow, but dont have a problem coughing up an extra $10 to support the cause. I think fast trucks are cool, and very underated. :drive:

This is getting interesting. Seems like we'll have a shitload of trucks there this year.

Ill pitch in.

well, this is a time we can showcase our buildups and let the sponsors know that we are serious about running fast like the car guys are. so, lets face facts, it takes a helluva lot more money to run 11's and 12's in a truck than it does a car. which means, what? we spend more money to run fast. so if we can, lets all chip in and make this the event for all truck bretheren to be at.

that 100 shot isnt going to do u no good up against these built motor trucks!

OUCH!!!!!! :engarde:

u luz is gonna have the fastest truck at the event, i know i said it already, but just spreading the word, go read tech's thunder shootout forum...

uhhh just a thought but is this track gonna let all of us truck guys run without cages?????? I highly doubt that at a big event like this.

i plan on having a cage.

You better make sure the one good run you make all your shit is together cause thats probably all you are going to get.

i would plan for a cage if you are going to run that fast. or like 1slowz71 said, you're gonna get one good run in before they say slow it down. unless, they just let everyone go ape shit.

haha well i am not putting a cage in it since i am trying to sell it. If i was keeping it then i would but i think that might make it a little harder to sell

i plan on having a cage.

Me too truck goes in september for that and the rearend :D

I think they enforce the rules, especially at a big event. If you run sub whatever requires a cage 9.9?? It will probably be your last!! :confused:

yep :stupid:

SO how quick can you run without a cage?

And how fast before you need a chute and firesuit?!?!?! I guess I'll be needing to call Summit today and get that stuff on the way. :)

Seriously though, how fast before you have to cage it? I'd like to know, because I plan on fabbing one up over the winter months. I need something to keep me busy.

You live in MS you act like you cant race and drive during the winter. :nono:
But you might need it with that 1000shot of naawwss. :jest:

You're right about that. Hell, our race season doesn't really start until November or so. It's just too damn hot here to race before then. I just need something to work on when the warehouse is empty.

ROLL BARS
Mandatory in all cars running 11.49 or quicker.

I may need roll bars then. :eyes: :jest:

11.49 for roll bar
9.99 for full cage but i bet my local track will let me slide a ways into the 9's with just a roll bar if i ever get that fast

there are other things like drive shaft loops, tranny blanket, no clip axles, harness, fire jacket. not sure when that all kicks in but i am sure it is by 10.99 if not sooner.
