You guys are racers and we need you!!!! This event is going to be run real close to how the Grand National vs Mustang shootout. Basically you will run two qualifying passes. Based on how fast your team is will place you on the race ladder. If you win your race you have won a point for your Team (I.E. Mustang or Camaro)

Example

Mustangs

(#1 qualifier) blownaltered 9.00@299MPH....
(#2 qualifier) SlowGreyGT12.00@112
(#3 qualifier) Stroked 12.2@113


Camaro

(#1 qualifier) Ibadz28 9.50@280mph
(#2 qualifier) anotherLS 12.0@113
(#3 qualifier) Chubbypower 12.55@113

So based on qualify will place you. You will have one pass to win or lose a point for your team

(#1 qualifier) blownaltered 9.00@299MPH vs (#1 qualifier) Ibadz28 9.50@280mph
(#2 qualifier) SlowGreyGT12.00@112 Vs anotherLS 12.0@113
(#3 qualifier) Stroked 12.2@113 Vs (#3 qualifier) Chubbypower 12.55@113

We are looking at well over 150+ cars for each side. so it will not matter how fast or how slow you are, there will be cars close in speed and time for some good old fashion drag racing

9.0 @ 299?

That's like tripping the timer, then hitting the warp drive. Haha

I'm seriously considering doing the Autocross at the event depending on how much it costs. I didn't know there was going to be more than just drag racing. It should be nice and cool in October so I'm pretty sure I will at least give the Autocross a shot at it. No need to worry about missing gears or breaking anything! lol.


Any idea yet how much this event is going to cost?

A normal autocross is $40 so that sounds about right...
