Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

She has no problem with it as long as our other needs/obligations are met first. I used to be that guy who would spend every dime on my car and live off of Ramen soup if it meant the car would be faster. lol. But now, she practically has to force me to spend money on the car because ever since we got married and especially since we started having kids, I get serious buyers guilt for spending money on myself.
My wife is one of the few that doesn't care about cars but knows how I am about things and loves me anyways. It doesn't matter if it cars, guns, r/c planes, tattoos, what ever it is she lets me do what I want. As long as we have money put back and can pay the bills she doesn't care. She just told me no Procharger F1 on this car or she would kill me!!!!

I'll join you. I'll probably enter the show and shine event. I will have the car running again next week. I'm finally getting off my lazy ass and fixing her. I'm tired of walking past the damn thing everyday.

I might make it out, at least to the car show... might mess around in the auto cross event if the track looks cool.

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?
