A lot of people hounded him last year and very few people showed (actually I believe there were 2 entries if I remember correctly). So, good luck getting it again.

Well, we can certainly try, but because so few NT people showed up despite so many saying "I'll go, I'll go" Dave B. has no reason to run the class. Good luck trying to convince him, I doubt it will happen.
But, it did take the 3000GT class at least a few years before a good number of them showed up, so you could use that as an argument to Dave B. when asking for the NT class to be run again. You could say he should give the NT class the same chance he gave the 3000GT class.
But, he can make money off of 3000GTs, not NTs so he doesn't have as much of an incentive to do this.
Also the three turbo kit cars ran in FWD class (which makes sense) so there were more 420A's entered in the class, they just were in another class.
It looks like and FWD can run in that class, but the fastest FWD cars there run about 12.0 in the 1/4 mile, so we need some low 13 sec cars there (at least!) to make a good impression inthe FWD class.
All the NT people will have to run bracket 2.
Besides, if they do run the NT class again, I'll just win it again. Everyone else will just be fighting for 2nd place. Remember "two is not a winner, three nobody remembers" heh heh heh

Ok now i really want to have an NT class i hope to put down a mid 14 this year. I have columbus DSM writing emails as we speak. i will post on cicncy and cleve as well to do the same. if you are out of ohio please post on your respective local page to hound them to have a class for us. what do you guys think about an open class. any 420A powered T/E with any amount of mods?

No, I actually was running slower than that at the shootout. It was hot out, the middle of the day in the middle of the summer, I couldn't get faster than 15.9s. As soon as I got back home I was about 2/10ths faster.
If you can get to mid 14's, great. It's not an easy task. I'd love to see someone beat me with an NT and run 14's. I haven't seen it yet, but I'd like to see it.
Besides, who says I'll only be at 15.5s this summer?

I doubt he will have an NT class since he said he wouldn't. BUT if enough NT's show up this year, then he will probably realize that he should create a class next year. Like if a bunch of NT's show up running high 15's and 16's or even 17's like me hehe, it won't really be fun mixing them in with the rest of the cars. Then hopefully, next time he'll realize we need an NT class. Emailing and talk does nothing. Showing up to race like Todd does is what counts. If you guys show up, there will eventually be an NT class. Please don't email Dave unless you really will be going though, because I'm pretty sure he'll get annoyed with a bunch of emails (again) from NT owners asking for an NT class - and then if only a few actually show up, it will just make us look dumb.

exactly
I think at this point, we (as a group of NT owners) have to show we can bring in the number of cars to make the class viable, first, then if Dave B. sees that enough actually show up, then he'll run the class.
And, I'm talking at least 20-30 cars here, not 10 or not even 15. If we can get 20+ then we'll be in good shape.

Where is the shootout gonna be this year? If it were any closer to Cali, I'd love to go and strut my stuff. Also so I could kick Todd's ass . Just playing man!!! I don't think I'll ever be able to beat you with my budget. Hehehe...
#852, "RE: DSM shootout 2002" In response to Reply # 8
lol... hell..i dont even race my car.but since its in Ohio and you guys need more people to show up ..i'll go up there... just keep us posted on when and where and all that good stuff
so he doesn't have as much of an incentive to do this.
