Bad ass event planned for sub-1000rw cars! Check it out!

There has been a growing interest across the country for roll racing events. However, most of the events currently in place cater only to cars well over 1,000 whp, leaving a gap in opportunities for enthusiasts in the 500-1000 hp range.

I am part owner of DallasRacing.net, a Dallas-based automotive community. Our members have felt the pain of this issue, and we are going to do something about it! We are using the foundation laid by Texas Speed Syndicate (TSS), organizers of the elite Texas Invitational (TI), to create an opportunity for mid-level powered cars to compete head to head on the same runway used by TI. That’s right - they are sharing with us their experience, their knowledge, and most importantly, their venue!! Our event will be very similar to TI; we will have the same starting light, the same speed trap, and the same bad ass side-by-side racing right here in the heart of Texas!! However, instead of watching it all on YouTube, you will have the opportunity to participate in the action.

DallasRacing.net will be hosting Runway Rivalry (RR) May 18, 2014. RR will be open to any street car below the 1,000 whp mark – Vipers, Corvettes, GTRs, Lambos, CTS-Vs, Mustangs, Camaros – all are welcome! Register today and start getting ready! I will answer any questions I can, feel free to post up or PM me!

Event discussion and grudge match setup will all be handled on DallasRacing!

[DirtyD]

What about those under 500 whp? :lol:

[Junkie]

Calling out Jeff, here is your chance to beat me from a roll.

[Phuck Phace]

Ohhhhhh

[Grandpa]

Calling out Jeff, here is your chance to beat me from a roll.

Damn! Didn't waste anytime with that call out! lol. Which car you calling him out with?

[Grandpa]

Ohhhhhh

The Ghost going to make it? lol

[Phuck Phace]

Damn! Didn't waste anytime with that call out! lol. Which car you calling him out with?

Le Viper I assume.

[Junkie]

Damn! Didn't waste anytime with that call out! lol. Which car you calling him out with?

My Viper :(

[Phuck Phace]

The Ghost going to make it? lol

#@$%

[Grandpa]

Le Viper I assume.

You never know with Will. He could actually finish one of those Mustang projects or buy another dozen cars between now and then. lol.

[Grandpa]

#@$%

Still a sore subject? lol

I thought the nickname Ghost was appropriate for the car. It's white, rarely seen and seems to be dead. :signs8:

[brtnstrns]

What about those under 500 whp? :lol:

Yeah, can I bring a 380RWHP car? Pretty please!

[Junkie]

You never know with Will. He could actually finish one of those Mustang projects or buy another dozen cars between now and then. lol.

Cobra or Viper were the choices, only one of them runs so I went with that one. Only thing that would change is if I sell something and buy a ZR1

That shit made me laugh, A+

[Grandpa]

Dude, start selling shit. No fox even remotely compares to a Zr1! Your old V combo on a ZR1 = sick fuckin car!

[Junkie]

Dude, start selling shit. No fox even remotely compares to a Zr1! Your old V combo on a ZR1 = sick fuckin car!

Exactly. That would make a bad ass street car imo, and still drive great.

[re-rx7]

You said you would never own a ZR1. Lol

[Junkie]

You said you would never own a ZR1. Lol

lol I was wrong, thought those bitches were 100k. Didnt know you could buy them in the 60's!

[Grandpa]

lol I was wrong, thought those bitches were 100k. Didnt know you could buy them in the 60's!

Asking $66k. Cash, maybe 60? :D

Damn thats a steal! I need to set records in my current stable before I move over.

[re-rx7]

Could get a new shelby? Lol
:Get him!:

[Junkie]

Could get a new shelby? Lol
:Get him!:

Why the fuck would I do that? Mod fords can suck it, the exception is the Ford GT which I cant afford

[re-rx7]

Yea I dont see the GT getting any cheaper either. Trinity motor in a GT would be sick but I coulnt do it.

[Grandpa]

Back on topic...who's racing? Limited spots available!

[Junkie]

I bet this fills up in a matter of weeks, if that guys. If you want to jump in I would hurry up

[re-rx7]

It will be a fun event no doubt. Id like to see the time diff in between sub 1k cars and the 1k+ cars.

[Emwun Garand]

Will be registering this week for this

[Grandpa]

Will be registering this week for this

The sooner the better. I bet it's already half full if not more.

[BLK2012GT]

I'm in and I accept Will.

[Junkie]

I'm in and I accept Will.

Yeah buddy

[Midnight11]

Jeff put me on your guest list

[Emwun Garand]

Will, do you know if there's any E85 stations around there?

[Junkie]

Will, do you know if there's any E85 stations around there?

TMK there is not

and yes I'll go ahead and lol @ "E85 is pump gas"

[Emwun Garand]

Never said it was. I don't have a 93 tune yet so I'll have to fill some jugs.

[STROKD]

Going to be a bad ass event, hope I can make it.

[Phuck Phace]

See you guys there!

[Grandpa]

Never said it was. I don't have a 93 tune yet so I'll have to fill some jugs.

I'd say E85 is pump gas. It may not be as readily as available as 93 octane, but you can still get it from many pumps in the area. I think E85 cars are pretty damn cool.

Do you not have that E85 app for your phone that Kevin does?

[Emwun Garand]

Nope, didn't know there was one.

[Phuck Phace]

Nope, didn't know there was one.

There's a few of them, I use Octane and Flex-Fuel.

[BLK2012GT]

I'm going to trailer my car there.

[Grandpa]

I'm going to trailer my car there.

Cuz racecar..

[BLK2012GT]

Cuz racecar..

Cuz E85

[Emwun Garand]

Cuz E85

Cuz exhaust might fall off

[Grandpa]

Cuz exhaust might fall off

oh damn. lol

[Phuck Phace]

Lmao

[BLK2012GT]

Cuz exhaust might fall off

Cuz too much power. You'll be there one day.

[Grandpa]

Cuz too much power. You'll be there one day.

Not if he can't find fuel..

[Emwun Garand]

Cuz too much power. You'll be there one day.

Been there, got the t shirt.

[Emwun Garand]

Not if he can't find fuel..

lol'ed

[Grandpa]

turbo > nitrous

That is all.

[Junkie]

Never said it was. I don't have a 93 tune yet so I'll have to fill some jugs.

If you need, I could bring a jug or 2 of E with me in the truck?

I'm going to trailer my car there.

Good plan, thats what I'm doing

[blownaltered]

I want to come watch. I have nothing to race but this looks like it could be entertaining.

[Junkie]

Nope, roll racing sucks and you think its boring

[blownaltered]

Nope, roll racing sucks and you think its boring

Didn't we already have the conversation about all racing sucks on video. I figured you would take this time to try and change my old feeble mind.

[BLK2012GT]

turbo > nitrous

That is all.

Shhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiit son

[Grandpa]

nope, roll racing sucks and you think its boring

lmao!

[Dominic Toretto]

Nope, roll racing sucks and you think its boring

I thought we agreed that roll racing doesn't involve skill lol?

$285 to enter, $50/guest for each entrant....everyone going to this must be rich AF!

It's probably going to cost $40 to spectate too...

[brtnstrns]

Whoa, guess I'm outta this one. Would rather spend a little less on a track day.

Cant spectate unless you are someone's guest.

[DirtyD]

Cant spectate unless you are someone's guest.
WTF? I'm sorry, but to me, that's retarded. Kind of kills the whole mood of the event for me. I don't want someone to shell out $50 for me to come as a guest, nor do I want to pay them $50 to attend as a guest.

Unless that admission included free rides in the cars, that might change things.

Nope it doesnt. Just giving you the lowdown. Im pervy to the rules pretty well for not going to one, but Junkie would know the most.

[Grandpa]

I'll be there to have a good time. :)

Track rental, insurance, emergency response teams... that shit is expensive. Plus I'm sure the promoters want to make a few bucks, as they should.

I'm not all that interested in the event (yep - it's boring as hell to watch) but I think it will be fun for the participants. You don't have a lot of opportunities in a street environment to really wind up a car with even 500hp, so I see the draw.

I can understand, but I think it would be cool to have a crowd there, just not an insanely big crowd. You could potentially get a ton of participants to join in this since the power levels aren't near those of TI. At $20 I would pay to come, and I'm sure other people with a legit interest of watching would pay that, and hopefully it would help to keep the spectator crowd at a decent size.

Thats why its ivite only. Thats also why the big event is def private. Most people with 600+hp cars can afford 300$ to go. The goal isnt to have a crowd. The goal is to invite a few select people and give them a chance to stretch the legs of their cars.

[DirtyD]

I guess I figured this was geared more towards the normal people zone of gearheadsville. Guess not. Maybe one day.

So I wonder if the trophies will actually be given out this time?

[BLK2012GT]

Gawd damn if you guys want trophies so badly I'll buy you fuckers some. Bitch bitch bitch if its not one thing its another with this group.

[Grandpa]

Couldnt agree more my friend.

Lol@trophies. Totally missing the point but its no surprise really.

[White_lightning]

Im willing to bet before the end of Feb they will be FULL car wise.
There will be plenty of Driver guests.
For anyone who has actually been to a Ti on which this event is based.. theyw ill attest to how much fun it is. If you think the $50 is too much, the good thing is 50 people will be inline to take your place:)

Who's missing the point?

[STROKD]

Who's missing the point?

The people who want a trophy. Lol no one here is gonna get it anyway.

It's an inside joke that's over y'alls head. Probably a good thing you aren't on Facebook, Steve.

[Grandpa]

Didn't mean you.

Exactly.
