9.0 @ 299? :lol:

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?

I'm thinking under $50, and I can't wait for 60 degree weather

Hmm so tempting autocross which I never done but I do road racing or dragracing. Hmm maybedo both but will need a hauler for the tires

Doh.. okay. Maybe I will just stick with spectating. lol.

Hmmmm, autocross...

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

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.

And I officially have the day before and the day of off from work so I will for sure be there:rockit:

Awesome!

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!

Not a chance in hell. lol

What makes you say that?

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.

Because I've been to enough autocross events to know that 10-second Fox bodies don't win. The idea isn't to accelerate, steer, and brake. The idea is to maintain the highest average speed and that will almost always be done by some low power shitbox on sticky tires. I'm not knocking Matt's car or his driving abilities. He'll have fun no matter what. But I'll buy him a case of his favorite beer if he does win his class, lol.

:burnout:

Ennis so you will have more than enough room to stop. If you don't I would seriously look into better brakes:love51:

His vert has a full Griggs road racing suspension under it. Which in turn he will do better in auto cross than drag racing.

Cool, then it should be no problem!

Under $50 gets me really into going.

I cant wait for this!!!!!

:lol:

:mf_pcwhack:

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.

I replied in red,

Damn sandbaggers

lol

lol at Danny, I thought it was common knowledge the car was a GR40. It was built at Griggs in fact and tuned by John himself.

If it had some real tire under it like a 888 or a Hoosier slick, it'd prob hold it's own, but Ill be on 555s since that's all I have, so it might slide a little. I think it'd be fun if there is enough room around the track and some good short straights to get up to speed. Plan was to get it in second and just two foot pedal it around with a little trailbraking and quick 4 wheel slides from turn to turn (assuming there are plenty of switchbacks).

Im down to give it a try. Will I get to be in a class with other fox-bodies and 3rd/4th Gen Camaros?:naughty:

I'f it behaves on the autocross, Id consider running it down the track too.

Donnie, I wasnt worried about stopping(car has 4 wheel Baers), I was worried about getting thrown from the track after paying 50 bucks to race. It will do WAY under a 13.49 which is the requirement for a cage in a convertible build before 2008 I think it is.

I know I was just giving you shit. That's the same reason I don't plan on racing my vert, there is no point without a cage and my car will never have a cage.

You can do autocross and such with it. There is more kinds of racing than just drag racing. :)

exactly, I think the autocross will be a lot of fun. I mean it's what the damn car is built for, and I know my dad would rather me drift it around a track than try to launch it hard and break the transmission. lmao

Well I'm not sure I will auto cross it this year but I'm starting to look at upgrading to 4 wheel disc and some extra handling equipment. But I will have to buy new rims if I do the break swap so not sure it's going to happen yet.

In for this one for sure. Any word on a couple things-
- do we sign up for specific event?
- any "class rules" or is it "run what ya brung" for the autox?
