If you go state by state, find a comparable stock colorado for my 4.0 4x4 in NE Alabama or NW Georgia and I'm game. Gadsden Al. or Rome Ga. I know drag spots in both cities.

i don't think it really matters because the weight difference can be worked out other ways. in my opinion it more comes down to a rough comparison of power and weight numbers really.

if you find someone willing and we find someone we can just send mods lists to each other and go from there.

ext cab. same basic trucks.
1. 1/4 mile drag.
2. Offroad park 4x4 challange. There's one here in Gadsden. Course chosen by nonparticipant.
3. Tie breaker (if needed) - Bumper to bumper pull, tug of war.
You said make the rules.

based on the forum wars rules though its a drag race, road coarse, then a figure eight tie breaker if needed. that is if its still going forward with their rules?

when he said for us to make rules he was referring to the trucks being raced.

Just throwing my truck into the ring. I don't own an F1, so this is the best I could offer. Same basic principle.

All the vehicles were cars though, i'd love to see a competition based on what trucks are good at, myself.


But hey, if someone wants to race cars in mud, all the better!

I am still going to race Julian one of these thursdays. The trucks are total opposites but I really think it will be a close race. For the forum wars thing, theres no way I can compete with him in autocross.

All you gotta do is tune for the fuel you run. Believe me when I say I do that. 104 Sunoco runs great in my truck with the proper tune. Made a run from AR to TX with it and an average speed of 87mph. Loved it. Wouldn't run it daily though, costs too much.

Throw down the gauntlet like I did. Make your own rules.

Actually, after watching some episodes of forum wars, the road course looks pretty easy.
