+1. I'm utterly beyond stoked, though your neon will be much better set for this than mine. (I can't wait to see how hard and quickly my setup falls on it's face. lulz.)

yeah i just hope i can get all my little issues sorted out by then ($$ wise) I dont want to blow my shit up if i dont have to!

So what's the format for this? 1/2 mile drag racing? Top speed from a standing start? Roll racing?

 

[SRT41320]

im going to try standing 1/2 mile top speed, rolling half mile (overall top speed), and then maybe some grudge matches against some lambos or vettes or something

 

[wannaGOFAST]

Format will be from a roll or a dig your choice. 1/2 mile heads up! We have an NHRA certified 66 foot speed trap that sends each run you make to a printer. Then we give each of you your slips just like at a Dragstrip after each pass. It records your trap speed, but no E.T. as it would be too difficult to transport.

 

[udluuz]

If your running from a dig will there be any prep for this?

 

[wannaGOFAST]

Possibly. VP fuels sprayed a start line chemical at our last event we held in Georgia. However, that event was very close to their distribution center. Being that the surface is concrete it will offer superior traction when compared to an asphalt runway. It's difficult to get any kind of street sweeper, etc out to our airport locations. If you have difficulty hooking up well you can simply go from a roll. Most people shouldn't have too much of an issue with traction though. Based on our previous experience.

 

[SRT41320]

just to be clear...

no burnouts, but if i spin my tires leaving the line (and through 2nd and 3rd gear) that is ok, correct?

 

[wannaGOFAST]

Yes, you can spin all you want. Just no standing burnouts to warm up tires. That may change if we are able to get the airport's approval. If and when it does we will certainly let everyone know!

Yeah was thinking of just going from a roll, just don't think the traction will be there.

You can always try it once and see what happens :wink:

Smoke show lok

 

[b00sted]

Well, I just talked to a guy that wants to bring his 911 out and hurt some feelings. This should be an interesting event.

I am sure there will be a handful of cars there that can return the favor

 

[b00sted]

I've been itching for an RCR SL-C soooo bad lately. Anyone want to lend me a badass LSx motor, a Ricardo trans, and go halves on a bastard?

 

[bluzohh6]

Pumped, I'm fully torqued

 

[SRT41320]

 

[Csurane24]

Rumors are that the software for the 392 hemi has now been released. Should make my jeep interesting if this is true

 

[boogeyman]

what about a rolling burnout?? like brake torqing it rolling to warm the tires up... im probably the only person capable of doing that but i dont wanna piss anyone off either

 

[Donnie]

yeah i just hope i can get all my little issues sorted out by then ($$ wise) I dont want to blow my shit up if i dont have to!

I can't recall, aren't you on a 35r on that sidewinder? My Stage 3 with the corn isn't going to carry me too well I think. Only time will tell.

What issues are you mucking through?

 

[cam]

Howdy boys. Hoping to make this next year it looks like fun

I like the format of options. Has a more sr feel to it, and im a throw back but was never much of a gambler, just a lover of speed. Hope I get some junk down there
