All the Hot Rod v8 cars are calling out all imports to race at Memphis Motorsports Park in Memphis, Tennessee. Hot Rod magazine will pick out 50 imports that they think are worthy of racing. This should be a good rival, I would love to go, to bad I live to dang far. All V8's will be on pump-gas(to prove a point i guess?), the deadline to register is january 15th and the races will be from april 30th to may 1st..........Hopefully they will make a vid. of this, i would love to see some monstrous FBs FCs FDs supras DSMs smoking all these cocky v8 guys. Just thought you all would like to know, maybe one of you guys will be chosen to race, good luck to whoever signs up. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Are you kidding! You actually think they will pair up equal cars? The imports will be setup to fail! Its HOT ROD MAGAZINE!

Sounds like fun..

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif Yea they will probably pick a riced out unpainted bodykit coffee can muffler civic VTEC to race a 9 sec drag..............................

Yes I don't see them picking any imports that could actually pose a challange to them..I really don't see any of pettits cars making it, if they go. I don't see any skylines being picked espacally after the always beat the so called big boys in the 1/4 in Ultimate street car challenge. I see a huge mis match with some stupid kid in a civic getting put up aginst a big block camaro.

Stupidest thing I have ever seen. Duh! Will a 6 litre V-8 with a 300 shot of NOS beat a 2 litre honda??



If just 1 import wins that day I would declare it a victory for imports.



I say make it a triathalon of motorsports each catagory have a 33.33% value to to the total Score. 1/4 Mile / Autocross / Road Course. Lets see who wins then.



Lets see a 8 second Camaro navigate a technical Autocross. Buhahaha! I'd pay money to see that.

I think it would be a great event to attend. Oh and hotrod magazine isnt completely bias. Just last month they featured John Shepard's 8sec street tire/legal DSM.

it depends on the rules for said event. cause they can pick able, siguel, and a lot of 8 and 9 sec imports, but if tehy get paired against top fuel cars, they still wont win. now if its more of a street cars vs street cars, then it might be a lil different and more fun to watch. the only thing that will suck, as far as rotaries is, that we all know all racers try to push their cars to the limit to put on a good show. rotaries wil break and their image will still be tarnished....



i think that the nhra did something similar last year, they invited a few select imports to go and "compete" against some hot rods, the imports were breaking left and right.....

That would be cool depending on the rules.



If the import guys can mod their cars the V8 guys should be able to do the same.



Dunno if I'd really want to pit say, Vosko's (RIP) 3rd gen vs a 68 charger that's been modded to put out 900hp AND get that to the ground with an updated suspension.



Damn thing scares the hell outta you at it's paltry 425 hp.

Okay thats it, where my tube framed boosted 4 rotor 1st gen drag car at?
