If it's $40 bucks for 16 runs like you got that would be worth it for sure. I dunno about $50 bucks for 2 or 3 runs. Hmmm.

normally you get 8 runs. I only had double because of the Guns and Hoses event. Trust me $40 for 8 runs is very much worth it and you will be addicted after that.

I think there should be a set fee for the entire event, that comes with X number of AutoX runs and then your entry fee into the drag race bracket.

Where is this being held? No fucken way they will let me make a pass at Ennis... And I'm not down to run it hard to 1000 feet and lock up the brakes. I did that once and almost hit the wall in my 86. Ran a 12.001@55 at a 60 degree angle, lmmfao. Dipshits said I could go again too. I don't see how that's any safer than just running it out the back door, but wtf ever.

10 second vert with no roll bar or cage. Yea, car show or autocross for me...

I think you would have a good chance at winning in the vert in the autocross!

Details are being worked out now, But we are looking at $30-35 for the first event and $10 more to do all three.

I am in the process of bringing in some big named sponsors for the auto cross and brake challenge. Also I have some Vendors looking to do some awesome giveaways on parts. If this happens my shop will be stepping up to do some free installs on these parts. Great excitement so far for as little as we have pushed this.

Flyers and videos to come this week so I can officially launch this event!!!!


Also Tech on safety equipment will be very minimal. Show up with a helmet, pants, and that is all they are going to require as long as the car is not crazy and driving sideways the whole track and the driver uses some common sense.

Ennis so you will have more than enough room to stop. If you don't I would seriously look into better brakes

I had some questions :

after our 1st round pass, will the winner move on to a 2nd round to face another car of the opposite team, and continue through the rounds until we crown a winner. And do we accumulate 1 point for our team for each round win?

Will we be racing on a .4tenths tree, .5tenths tree, or full tree?

Are electronics allowed I.e. 2 steps?

Will there be a rule similar to pinks all out where if you run more than .1 tenth faster than your quickest qualifying pass you're out, to in essence eliminate cheating and manipulating the ladder?

I greatly appreciate the help and sorry if any repeats.

There are 2 qualify passes and one heads up pass against your paired up race. Keep in mind we are not pairing them by time's but by qualifying spot of there own teams and your team. Same template as the buick VS ford shootouts have been running for decades.

Will we be racing on a .4tenths tree, .5tenths tree, or full tree?

This will be a 5.tenths tree

yes all electronics are allowed

No, Pinks was a complete different format. They where picking a class off cars that run the same time. We are not picking a class, we are going off fastest mustang to slowest mustang and fastest Camaro to slowest Camaro. There will be no times displayed to anyone other than the racer him self during qualifying. This keeps anyone from knowing who they are racing (or wanting to race) till the list is posted after qualifying is complete. Since neither team know how fast the other car is, it will be very hard to knows if they can sand bag or not


Fastest mustang VS Fastest Camaro
Second mustang VS second Camaro
third Mustang Vs Third Camaro
forth Mustang vs forth Camaro
fifth Mustang vs fifth Camaro

And so on.........

I greatly appreciate the help and sorry if any repeats.
