We are getting ready to hold a big Sand Drag here in Louisiana and we want to get everyones input on classes......How would you like to see it broke down for the classes? Heads up racing.....no et....Thanks, Shaun

 

You have to remember someone's going to lose,and if it's absolutely fair there would be alot of different classes.It's probably good to just keep it simple.There should be a stock class.Try to break these classes down yet keep it as simple as can be:kids class,0-125,126-250,251-350,351-450,451-550,then a bigbore class.The modified classes are hard to make fair.You know some of them will say they just have a pipe yet may have stroker cranks,shaved head,porting,etc...Not really sure what to do with them.I'd have an outlaw class where anything goes.Hope this helps.Maybe something to go off of?

 

You are right there is always that one guy that gets mad cause he got beat......Thanks for the input.....Just want to be able to have more than my two cents on this....

 

I'm sure eveyone has a different opinion on this subject.I've seen guys get fighting mad over losing.Don't get me wrong I don't like losing,but they have to realize someone has to lose.That's racing.I still think simplicity is the key to having classes.Just try to keep it simple and fun.You might look up SAND DRAGS on the internet and see what other tracks do?

 

When and where is this event gonna be held?

 

I am not sure when the event will be but we are looking at August......AS for the classes, I think we are going to hold a meeting on the Saturday before and that is when we will decide on the classes.....I think it will be good to get everyones input.

 

The race will be held at Sicly Island

 

Great place to have a drag event. I will be there July 23 for the second Clash of the Titans.

 

This event will be held in August and it will be an annual deal....We plan to have a mud bog show n shine and a drag race.....I have been working on getting a band out there and a few other things also.

For all you fast females.



Best of Show
This is one class, best looking quad wins.
Only rules, no nudies on the quads or paying off the judges (who will remain nameless for this reason...lol)




Those are the rules
With only a couple things to clear up.
Your class is based on the motor, not the frame.
If you bump up from class 2 you will be bumped into class 4, not 3. We are not going to have 505EXs running piped Raptors.
Wheelie bars and extended swingarms can be used in all the classes.
Nitrous bottles will be disconnected if you plan on running in a class that does not allow it.
Fuel will most likely be checked for additives.
Over rides will be allowed in class 5) 6) King Of The Hill) 2T-4T)
If you get caught cheating you WILL be disqualified! If you cheat and don't get caught you will be disqualified by yourself...its like buying a fake Rolex, whats the point, you know its fake. We should not have a problem with this.
Classes 1-6 must be run with OEM ATV frames with VIN#'s
