Add $50 from me too...

timka86 · 10-15-2007, 07:37 AM

well doing it for the money, isn't exactly worth it, since it'll cost a bit more then 100$, but for the challange it's something to take on... definitely makes things more exciting.

Damn this should be interesting. But how many people are up to the challenge?

atc3434 · 10-15-2007, 02:13 PM

If only a stock 4T45 would stand a 200 shot of nitrous and drag-radials...

bp's97gagt · 10-15-2007, 03:22 PM

I'd try to give it a shot next season but I don't meet the terms and conditions.

There's already a bunch of J-body cars in the 12's, and a few having fun in the 11's.

This is a primarily 99+ N-body, specifically grand am, website. Keeping it to all 99+ n-bodies...........

one revision on the rules. 1996+ N-bodies,

and as it looks, the pot is at $150...

anybody having issues that the pot is sooooooo low, stuff it, you don't have what it takes and never had the initiative in the first place. you're the sort of people that need incentive to perform above and beyond the call of duty and are instead limiting yourself. (that wasn't a jab at anybody in particular but for those people who would end up whining that it's not a good enough pot)

Additional revision. Those of you who have hit 12's, in the past two years in 96+ n-body, to qualify for the winnings must perform an 11.5 or better.

well you qualify 96+ n-body now.

bszopi · 10-15-2007, 04:46 PM

I'll put $50 in as well, even if I can't compete. Call it a donation from 60V6.com. I may be able to raise it up a bit in the future as well.

Might want to mention this to people like Ben and Marc to get the stores involved as well.

alerohack · 10-15-2007, 05:21 PM

anytime in 08 right?

yeah boyyyy!!!

Vegeta · 10-15-2007, 05:54 PM

The tracks are open year round in some areas and late where it cold longer. That is about the only problem I see with the challenge. Otherwise, sounds good

Make that 100 from 60V6.

I am going to give a bonus if the winner is using my parts. Plenty of time to sort it out for those that are serious.

Looks like I had better hit the target then

Vegeta · 10-15-2007, 06:31 PM

Sounds like a plan to me

AaronGTR · 10-15-2007, 06:36 PM

Spy, an extra twenty bucks for using street tires? Come on... do you honestly think a fwd n-body is capable of running a 12 sec 1/4 without the traction and launch provided by DR's? Not likely.

Anyway, the notion of a challenge and putting up some incentive (how small or large it may be) is a good one. Hopefully someone will step up. Won't be me though.
