Default Heads Up Racing


Hello All,

It has been a long time since I have visited your site and it looks great as ever.

I am from HTR (Hot Teams Racing) and I am checking to see if anyone here is interested in a heads up match with a stock appearing Mopar. This race will take place in Phoenix AZ on March7th and it is FREE and it is to benefit local causes and charity. There is no purse however.

On the 7th the Mopar Team is competing 5 cars against 5 GM cars on that date. What has happened is we have a very nice example of MOpar Muscle from the 60's that will be in town and wants to compete but the GM Team does not currently have a car of this caliber to compete faily and I am hoping that someone from here maybe close enough to give it some thought.

The car is a 1967 Hemi GTX on G70-14 Bias ply tires. This car is running stock manifolds, induction etc. We would love to see this car compete and you would be on a temporary team of 5 GM guys.

Please let me know if you are interested and I will answer any questions I can about it. You can check out the web site at www.outrunU.com


Thanks alot
john

douhhhh !

somebody knows him [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
Yes, his name is Joel and his specs can be found on the HTR site by clicking on Multi-state, his car number is M2-MN
Very few cars are listed on the Multi-state page, the rest are under AZ.

Everthing is negotiable, even the tires but we prefer to have both cars on stock tires.

As far as ET, he is a bit faster than stock but I am not at liberty to say his exact ET nor do I know it (honestly).

Both match details must be agreed to by both the MOpar and the GM team captains. Mopar is Bill Taebel and GM is Mike Brimbic.

Did you hear that, Pete?! A bit faster than stock! Sounds like they are fishing for a sucker! HA! Just kidding, John!

Pete and I have seen Joel run in person, and I believe he is in the 11.70s@124+. Terry (BigDog) also cruises this site, and he runs the same series as Joel, with his ZL-1 Camaro. As for his times, lets just say he is quicker than that Hemi!

It sounds like a fun event, but the main problem I see is the location. Most of the stock, and stock appearing, racers reside in the Eastern part of the U.S., but there are getting to be some guys from West of the Mississippi as well. But, here's what I would suggest: cruise over to THIS SITE, which is where the stock and stock appearing racers hang out, and post your "proposition".

Good luck, and feel free to ask any questions!

There is an article in the current issue of car craft which describes such a Mopar Running 123mph through the traps, but no E.T.?

Let's just say that, I'm doing a little work on the ZL1 to get ready for next year [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] I might have it done by march but AZ is a very long haul to spank a HEMI or two.

Well, I now have ET info on Joels car and yes it is a peppy one [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

I don't know what he would run at our track and altitude but we are an NHRA track and require a bar at under 12.0. Also HTR rules state that you can not receive any win points if you go faster than your legal tech. This is new for 2003 so it looks like that will place what could be called an artifical index on the racers.
Our race points are structred 3pts for the win light, 2pts for best reaction time and 1pt for participation (basically showing a time slip). A read light results i 1pt only.

Thanks for site info and I will check it out as soon as I get time.





Looks like we may have a local interested in the match. I will let you guys know what that match is as I get more details.
