There will also be grudge match racing and call outs. Post here so we can get an idea of attendance...
Unfortunately it is only 1/8th, but the track was resurfaced over the winter and the "hook" is excellent. I know this from personal experience. 60ft times there are outraegous. It should be fun. Right now it is only a trophy, bragging rights, and a mention on a few web sites. We are negotiating with the track about purses and we may just have to thow in a little scratch to make it more interesting. A sort of "gamblers" pot.
Cool. As long as no one's gonna trip because I got outrun by some Mustang or something. The truth is my car could be pretty fast with a good driver but I have a lot to learn when it comes to launches.
You know, you always get those that take it all too seriously. But the main idea for this event is for everyone to have fun and get a chance to run "street" cars on the track.
bobby...what do you have done to ur SRT? i have an 03 also "slightly" modded. wish i was in town cause i'd def go! i guess next time.
Lets just say the turbo and internals are still stock and I am not shooting nitrous... Don't worry we are having another event in a couple of months and I am working on a road course day.
1\8 mile tracks have there advantages, you get more runs normally, which equals more experience and practice. I like 1\8 mile track, i get to focus on my launching.
That's a good point. The launch is where I need the most work or at least it seems that way. Sure my shifting could be faster and at better points but that'll probably take some practice too.
