It's the survival of BP, as we know it, that's at stake here.

In a way it is a shame this is in members only as I feel it would do a lot to inform the wider user base of the thoughts and feelings behind BP and maybe convince some of them to part with their hard earned...

I think this is a simple one really.

the question is:

Why was this club set up?? And I am damn sure it wasn't for peeps to just blow smoke up each others butts as to how nice each others cars looks, what mods they have done.

Its mainly about people who like to enjoy using their car behond what you can do on a public road, whether it be track,sprints,rallyiing, drifting etc.

I like reading about the varied amount of cars and varied events that people partake in, not how shiny someones hoses are etc etc. Whether its a 1000bhp skyline ofr a more standard car then it doesn't matter, its how its used thats the core value on here I think.

still gets used on track etc but is still driven everyday as such, i think 750 bhp plus is pretty impressive acheivement

to remain drivable on the road , therefore it's asleep on the street :-D 1000 bhp + = gold badge

cheers

I like this idea, it could be a simple as road legal car 500bhp - bronze, 750 bhp - silver, 1000bhp - gold (obviously backed up by dyno prinouts)

It wouldn't just be for people who don't go on track, but anyone who drives ther powerful car to events rather than trailering them everywhere

Perhaps 'steet sleeper' is the wrong wording though. :?:

Why have an award for horsepower tho :?: :?: having a high horsepower car shouldn't get you an award, its what you do with the car that counts in here as far as I am concerned :!:

Its the classic motto, its not what you have got, its what you do with it that counts :!:

I think having a badge for street class is totally against the ethos of this club, which is on responsible enthusiasts driving on various forms of track, be it on trackdays or more competitive events.

"street class" just brings up too many nasty connotations for me, because lets face it we get enough hassle for just driving our cars sensibly on the roads. I would feel ashamed to wear a BigPower sticker on my car if this sort of thing was allowed

keep it on the track, preferably sticky side down
