Today is the first official event day. Roll Racing Nationals at Texas World Speedway. Compared to what happens on the street during the event week, this seems rather tame. Only about 1,500 feet of roll racing track between the Nascar turns.
CAR QUALIFICATIONS: The first round of entrants will all need to be ABOVE 800WHP. I reserve the ability to add in lower HP cars later.
CAR RULES: Specific details will follow, BUT in the spirit of the type of event TX2K has been for the past 15 years, we are looking for STREET CARS. That means no tubbed drag cars, no lexan only race cars, no fiber glass body race cars, etc… Also, skinnies will NOT be allowed, cars will need to run a DOT approved tire.
HOW THE RACING WORKS: The cars will be paired up in the hot pits and proceed to the end of the hot pit road at the base of Nascar Turn 1 (N1). The cars will leave pit road and pace each other for almost half a mile as they climb the banking. By the middle of Nascar Turn 2 (N2), the cars will be side by side and approaching the long back straight between N2 and Nascar Turn 3 (N3). As they exit N2, they pass over a starting line and accelerate for approximately 1500 feet towards N3. The track is 80’ wide and there will be lane markers. Cars will then pass over a finish line and have 800+ feet to slow down before reaching the banking. The middle of the banking between N3 and Nascar Turn 4 (N4) is not particularly smooth, but the high line and the low line are in good shape. Each car will have plenty of time to slow down and then safely enter the pits at the exit of N4 where an official will hand out slips with MPH numbers to the drivers. Should the vehicle’s brakes fail, simply continue on the banking down the front straight (b/w N4 and N1).
