Not all, but many were. Those were good times, even for a spectator like myself.

When we first got involved, our car WAS streetable. 10-1 compression, running mid 13s. But, like everyone, we wanted to do as well as we possibly could, so we upped our game to the level that the top players were at. I'd say that first year, you are correct in that a lot of the cars were streetable. Allen's, Scott's, Troy's, Jiimy's and Larry Mck's among others were street cars. That soon changed. Some stayed streetable, and tried to do as well as they could, eventually becoming discouraged. After the first couple of years, it got to the point to where there was one, maybe two dominant cars.

I always thought it could be revived with a good set of rules. The CLC goes a long way but still allows barely streetable combos in. DOT tires and a 30 mile cruise  would go a long way toward making it so a larger cross section of cars could be competitive.

The major complaint that was most often heard was that a person didn't stand a chance at winning or even placing, so why bother. Unfortunately, strict rules also keeps some away. When rules discussions come about, most want rules that favor their own particular combo. Strict rules also puts a lot of responsibility on the shoulders of the class organizers who need to enforce them. No easy answers for sure.

The rules can remain simple. Supplied pump fuel for all racers.

Just a little update on Bill Frost's oval second in line in the photo at Phoenix.... still doing the renn kaafer job in the U.K. gone through a lot of changes,fresh 2276,pro comp box,saw axles,new interior,now running mid 13's(would be a lot quicker without the pussy launches,but I can't afford to break it driven on the street all the time,I love this car,couple pics for whoever might remember it.















 

Another DRKC FIRST in the photo of Mike and Troy racing at Phoenix, is that these two cars had the first two DRKC "Bolt-in" roll bars built at RLR.

Troy's was the first , built, but in mild steel, and Mike "upgraded" his to chrome moly.  Ron built Troy's exactly like my sample, but tweaked (improved) the original bar shape to make it easier to bend the hoop with less angles.  It seems like I see this bar design in every serious street bug in So. Cal now. 

I really like the seats, door panels on the greenheart oval car. breather reservoir cool too. Green heart cars are cool...bill

appreciate that,both for the car....and the club

No Rules, No Judges, it's too hard to find somebody that wants to run it!  Street tires would save the transmissions. 

Just run a "dial-In" elimination, and then a "Spectator vote", and call the "top points" car for the day the Top Eliminator Winner!

Seems to me that if there really was any interest in this type of class then there would be 10 to 15 cars still running the BOR class now, but I don't see it.

agree

Perfect! ~ I said it then.

thats funny...another class that would be cool to see again

DRKC my favorite racing series was so great ...but off

I loved the DRKC.  It and DKP inspired MANY cars to be built, and kept hot rodded VW enthusiasm alive.   

First DRKC was at LA County Race Way in 1999!

Thanks for sharing the good old times. There was at the time a official rulebook ?
