You could make a loop through Sabin, everyone has to leave their car running outside the Crow Bar while you go in and slam 4 beers, then head back to the track. That would be the sign of a true street car.
We could have a side bet and see who can slam their 4 beers the fastest!

name one car that has competed in the Q8 that is a track only car or one that wouldn't make it 30 miles on the street??
its great just the way it is, and alot of fun
dont like it, go faster
and i think slicks have to be allowed, the faster cars would be tearing the crap out of the track using radials when they are not setup for them
i know I took a chunk out once or twice on the radials, and felt bad
I wasn't saying that any of the cars that I have seen in the Q8s wouldnt make it! It's something that I have read and seen done at bigger tracks and thought it was kind of cool. Of course they have more cars (like hundred or so at the bigger events). They have a winner in each second class, like a 8 sec, 9 sec and so on. We are only dealing with 8 cars so its not going to happen but I thought that I would just put it out there to see if they could think out side of the box and get a few different things in there. I also like the fact that slick are in the groove only the track is amazing. Last year I couldn't leave hard at all!

No. 'Street Legal' is a name, period. I would be willing to bet that exactly zero of the vehicles that have competed in any Q8s pass all state/DOT regulations.I can't even imagine the manpower it would take to pull this off. I am curious to hear the opinions of people that have competed in Q8s.
I have competed in the Q8 everytime I have gone to the event! I didn't think it would work out but I thought I would just throw it out there. I want to go to a steet legal event were you have to do a trip like that. The closest one I know of was in Ohio this past summer. My car is a daily driver unless its raining or there is snow on the ground!

Not right now. Suggestions are welcome.
Heres something, not sure how it would work but the cars are suppose to be street legal, right? We take the cars that have insurance, current tabs, and a dot approved tire (limited size maybe?), and take these cars on a 20 to 30 mile drive see if they make it. Allow for a short cool down, make one run, to see were they land in the standings. Then set up the bracket and do the runs for the winner. O and the last time the cars are able to be touch is before the 20 to 30 mile run. After that any hoods opened or any programing done will disqualify the car and driver! I would say tire pressure would be ok to change but that would be about all you could change once they are started.
