Hello,
Yes at the big Event they have everything from Puplic Race up to Top Fuel. They run all the Super Classes,Competion Eliminator,Pro Modified,Top Methanol Dragster&Funny Car and Top Fuel. The same with the bikes.

Forget about driving there yourself ... they require a DMSB or similar race license ... lowest class they run is PR1, which is 14-12second, plus the Public classes qualifications are the ones they drop first if they are short on time (which they usually are) ...

I just talked to Helmut Brodbeck and he told me to come out and check it that it is repaired so I will take a video of it and post it.

All right hears the deal I went out there and they were messing with it when I pulled up. They were trying to start it. The only way it would run is if they used either to start it and it wouldn’t run for long when it did start. They said it was because it is supposed to have methanol because of the high compression 13:1 and there isn’t anywhere around to get it. As far as I know 13:1 should be able to run on pump gas but I am no expert. They also said that it only idles at 300 rpm's. And they wanted you to call them as soon as possible. They also said it has another complete set of racing tires and rim’s the one’s that are on it are for sitting and moving it around because the race tires will flat spot if they leave them on the car. But just a heads up he is selling everything because he is going out of business they said he is retiring and going to Philippines and there is no one to take over. Another thing they said last time you were there you wanted to see it run and they kept trying to start it and the valves burnt out or some "He said POOP" because of the compression. So take this for what it is worth I think it is going to need some work to race again but the engine sound’s all right no knocking but the most it would run is for 5 seconds and the die.

... so all you got to do is make sure you make it from the green light to the quarter in less than that
Yup, stay away from it ... the one on dragracing.de is most likely a LOT better value for the money ...

3.3 seconds off wasn't to bad of a guess. Glad you didn't lose any money on it.
