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!

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.

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

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