Eurodragster about Ferrometal Motorshow Kedainiai 2007

Carbon By Design Fuel team owner Knut Soderquist has been in touch
with the latest from the CBD workshops:
The Lithuania Drag Racing Festival ended up a huge surprise for me and even for the promoter.
After helping to promote the race for a week in different shopping malls we went to the race track on the
Thursday afternon. To our surprise there were already a lot of people at the track. There was also a
stage for rock and roll bands and a couple of artists well-known to the crowd from Lithuanian television.
They also prepared a track for drifting which is very popular there. I think it was a very smart idea
to get people to come and see drag racing for more or less the first time. This was an old Russian airfield very similar
to Wittstock but the track needs to be repaved. The owner of the airfield was very impressed with what he
saw and with the promoters is now in the process of getting the track up to standard.
The interest shown by the crowd was overwhelming and I see no problem in making this a big success.
I think there were between 11,000 and 15,000 people. For all of Saturday there were three queues
of cars waiting to get in. I think that this was well done as it was the first time they had run a large event.
Not only that, but they provided all of the racers with free power for the whole weekend.
I want to thank Andrus and Tommas for a great week and weekend, and we are ready for next year which I know
will be even better.
I am almost finished with my second Fuel Funny Car which is a 2004 Pontiac Firebird with a McKinney
chassis. I have a couple of people interested in driving the car. Also my frend Jonny Nilsson just
got the car which Frank Pedegron was driving for the Dunn family. The car has very few runs on it
and looks very good. There are a few plans for that car and right now it looks to be a Danish driver.
I know that there are very big fields at the two major tracks, Santa Pod and Mantorp Park, and I understand
that right now there is no need for our Funny Cars, but I know that one day people will get tired seeing the same
movie. There has been big interest shown between the Funny Car owners and tracks in Sweden, Germany, Lithuania and
Norway to run a Championship next year. In all here in Sweden and Norway we have six nitro Funny Cars
and we ar not garage racers. We will be out there and hopefully come back to Santa Pod, the Mecca of Funny Car
racing.

those classes are remarkably different to ours, but if you think it works at local scene, then why not ? Most important is to stick with the same classes for several years, so people can build their cars to be competitive according the rules. I would also watch out, what equipment is currently run, you don't want to outlaw many of current machinery. Otherwise just two remarks, it is very difficult to control fuel and using street tires makes racing more expensive(as you need more power to go fast) and also more dangerous. |

Thank You peep for answer. Yes, I agree, street car is always more expencive to build up than same result modified car in all meanings. BUT we consider, that street car should be streetable first of all, and it should never go faster than 12.5 @ 200 km/h, otherwise none off the stock factory built safety issues remains safe enough.
I only doubt if we should'nt split superstreet class into n/a ant forced induction, because we still have few very constant racers driving stock nonboosted engines in light bodies.

To achieve this time, most "affordable" cars has to be extensively modified and it is much more expensive to do engine-, body- and suspension work, than slap on the pair of dragracing tires. In addition, latter variant is more safe.
What regards streetability, then if I should choose between removing most of the interior (or making engine modification, which ruins fuel economy or everyday driveability) of my everyday streetcar or simply getting pair of tyres, no doubt what my choice would be. IMO dragracing tyres allow the cars to be more streetable, in case you are going to use index classes, not vice versa.
