Subject: without the spot races this site is dead! lol bring the spot races back and just have them there for whenever the racers are ready to go they can go at it, and that way it can keep a record of whose beaten who and where everyone lies just a thought.

[> Subject: So what's the word on this MOD? Just bring the spots back, open up 10 spots for real street since they are the ones that would be more involved in the action. If the spot holders don't make any challenges take it upon yourself to line them up with the spot holder above them.

[> Subject: Bullet the racin didn't work because the racers didn't step up to the plate. Mod offered ideas and a schedule which was really good. No one moved up a spot everyone was content with keeping a spot. I agree try it again but racers need to move up or it will not work.

>bring spot races back!!
[> Subject: Thank you Andrew - That's absolutely correct. The rules were super simple - all we asked was that the cars be real street cars. And that we race once a month to give everyone a chance to get ready. But people won a spot then just sat there and didn't challenge the guy above them. Or some people would win a spot then not respond when challenged. If you watch Street Outlaws, they are all about moving up the list. New challengers must start at the bottom and work their way up. I am all for trying again but you dudes are going to have to do your part.

>bring spot races back!!
[> Subject: The reason for some of the rules was to try to keep out some of the really fast cars. If we soften up the rules we will see cars running 9's and 8's and even 7's. Which is cool except it keeps a lot of people out of the game. Then the races stop because nobody can keep up and we are back at square one...lol. That is the reason for radios and no trailers....etc....But I will do what ever you all went. Post up some rules you would like and let's put something together that everyone agrees with....

>>>bring spot races back!!
[> Subject: Why not make the rules like drag week ??every time you have to race you have to drive !!! It's a street cat right ? We will race all year so all the cars that made it thru the top 10 advance to the fast 32 then we will have a run what you brung race at the end of the year and the winner takes all just an idea for all the one who sit on there spot (spot hoggers ) will lose it at the end either way ... Orr for those big ballers that think you can drive across Texas lets set up sumpin at 3/5 Texas tracks and invite all Texas for the big event ..... Rules are simple radio, nhra legal, tags , insurance, no trailers queens ! And no cry babies ..

[> Subject: DRIVE MAY BE REQUESTED BY SPOTHOLDER AND SHOULD BE DONE FROM TREVIÑOS. that should keep a lot of cars out. the list will eventually get fast and races will slow down but its just part of the game. none of this race once a month crap, races happen when spotholder says within a two or one week notice. spotholder has 3 days to reply to challenge or lose the spot.

[> Subject: stick to the real street cars. Drive to the track and drive back home, very simple rule. if they can't follow it just dont participate. Mod is always trying to please or fit in his buddies, but his buddies never race, always complain and/or want money to run. let the real street cars have all the fun they are the ones always challenging and racing for bragging rights.

[> Subject: The rules could not have been any easier last time we tried the Spot races. 1. No Crybabies (People still cried) 2. No Trailers (Some so called street cars still trailered (I have pics and video proof of a spot holder loading up his so called street car about 2 miles from the track at a gas station) 3. Car must have radio (I only checked about once or twice for this...lol) And that was it. And people still would not race. And that's because we scheduled races once a freaking month. And all I heard was - "Oh, why should we race when you want?" - Huh? Because that's when we could all meet and race. Anyway's, we aren't getting anywhere. I asked for ideas and all you all are doing is fighting...lol. But what ever...come up with good ideas and I will do what ever you all want.

[> Subject: Mod just an option to get the starting ten spots racers should have a month to run their best times. After the month the fastest ten times should be on the top ten of the list then the moving up and moving down can begin with number 10 having anyone open to race them. A spot holder can only be challenged 3 times a race night but not by the same person unless agreed upon. Arguments will be made over rules unless we can all agree on run what you have. If it is not fast enough get it faster..
