I did my best to photo this poster for Brian @ H&W Speed and post it up. This is a invite only race, most of the shit talkers have already been invited you know who you are...lol. If you feel the need to come and play conact Brian @ H&W speed. There will be a heads up "PRO TREE" run what ya brung race at this event, all the names will be tossed into a hat and pairs of racers drawn at random, there will be a cash prize for the winner of this event. NOW for the goodie. This is where all the shit talking set-up (races) that has went on so far will be settled, (again you know who you are) and also all the doubts of whos car ran what will be settled. So tune'um and lets settle it for the 2009 year, Braggin rights will be gotten for the winter at this race. Good luck :supz:

i asked this on another forum but slow to answer. .. so is it invite only or can i bring my car for a little testing? it only runs high 11's so i wasn't sure. also what time will we be racing? everyone at 1:00 or just the faster cars?

Scott
08-21-2009, 06:48 AM
1:00 is the invite only deal.. The eliminations will be draw/redraw till theres no one left. I dont know about open test and tune, maybe call the track or check their website.. Yes you can BYOB!! They dont want big coolers in the stands but I usually still bring big coolers up there anyway as long as they arent packed full or anything. Cant wait to head up and see all these cars run

fabulous! you completely exceeded my expectations! 4h fair ground. priceless! you really don't know much.

i'll be at the drag strip. with the rest of the people you act so damn jealous of. but if you'd like to spend time in a barn instead, i'm sure there's a lonely sheep or two that would just LOVE to meet you.

thanks for the laughs! you're always good for that! :bigthumb:

As much as I didnt want to see you hurt your car I would be happy to watch you do that everypass! it was amazing... better than any wheelie at a nmra ive ever seen. I hope some one caught it on camera for you. BTW I was the really sunburnt kid that asked if you hurt your car as you walked up to the lanes for the finals... and I hung around joes cobra and the elcamino all day

Scott
08-24-2009, 06:34 AM
I thought I was done 1st round!! I cant believe my own MOM drew me and Eric together in the first round!! I could tell I had a good lead at the 1/8th but I glanced in the mirror towards the end of the track and he was coming like a freaking FREIGHT TRAIN, I think he was next to my door at the stripe but had about 20mph+ on me so I honestly thought I lost... I was pulling plugs at the end of the track and then KC came riding down the return road on the 4-wheeler with the timeslip in his hand and yelling then I realized I actually won!! It was intense, then it was the same thing against Ryan in the final but even closer at the stripe, margin of victory was .04 total!! He cut a .073 i think against my .064 light so we both had incredible reaction times "for non-bracket racers" then it was only .03 difference on ET.. Very close final race. Thanks H+W for putting on the race and Brian for lending me some bottles for the last race "didnt think I would make it that far"

yeah the 10.5 races are closest that we have.. I did cut a .062 or .064 light against Ryan though ;) George is on awake on the tree thats for sure, it is really easy to get caught off guard with pro-tree or instant green!!! Seems easy when watching but when your in the car its a different story and it goes by wayy faster than you think.

The thing i like about it is, with compatition racing you as a driver have to have your ducks in a row because it's not allways whos fastest. Im a firm beliver that 90% of the time a drag race is one in the first 60ft unless you got some Giant turbo car racing a N/a car.

i was watching the Toyo Tires NMRA Finals last night, and the top fuel drivers were cutting the same reaction times and everyone was on saturday...i was very impressed.
(nhra) (NMRA does not have a fuel category)
Fuel cars leave from idle, have a (essentially direct drive) and a 3.20 gear ratio, do to that You will almost never see a fuel car leave on a light better than .070 any faster than that and they were leaving on anticipation, pro stock, Top alc PS bike, classes you will see .000-.030 on a regular basis, due to the rpm/ First gear ratio that they will leave on.


By the way, good job Scott, Ryan. Running 8s and going rounds is probably quite a chore.

Sounds like it was tons of fun.

I would of went but we had cruise night here - was a hard decision but I decided it'd be safer to stay in town than trust my bird for a long trip with the way it's smoking right now.
