I believe the Pump Gas Drags make you run on DOT approved tires and 92 octane.

The rules shourd be on hotrod.com.

Or you could PM Freiburger.

This is my favorite drag race to watch/read about, all year long. You don't know what's going to show up, and what it's going to run.

I'm really expecting to see 8's this year.

I'd definitely do it, just for the shock factor. A stock looking RCSB on stock tires?! HAH!

I would definitely do all the safety equipment, regardless.

Hmmm, May 13th in Memphis.

Maybe I'll make the trip, not to run of course. Maybe I'll get to meet up with a few of you guys. Besides, I've always wanted to do another "Memphis in May".

i think mid 10's on pump would be a huge step. no way i will see a 9.

I know my buddies freind has been tuning his car all year long and changing his setup just to run and make the most power on 93 octane. I know how much power he makes NA without nitrous, but I cant say what it is. ITS ALOT.
