We talked about a manual class with no cap. there is a limited number of quick manuals out there anyway. unlike the dozens of 8 second auto's. i'd like to see the viper and allgo get some action. I'm sure allgo could sandbag through the first few rounds and then go balls out at the end and so be it if he gets kicked out

Keep in mind, the last deal wasn't just an IAF thing.

I like the idea of maybe having the purely manual car class. Maybe even do a thing just for the manual cars like the different groups were last year. Closest to 12 sec, 11 sec, 10 sec, etc. Just saying. I know of at least 2 cars that have swapped to manuals that will probably be going to this again this year. I gotta admit though, above anything else, it should be set up as a street car only type of a deal. I know I heard a lot of stuff first hand about this year, (and no offense meant), the whole Ed thing pissed off a lot of people.

Why would anyone be pissed at me? clearly Caseys car was faster then mine N/A? Ryans car went faster than mine that day, did I have all my cards on the table? well the final between Casey and I would have answered that, but it did not happen, No offense taken, but this year I hope everyone steps up the program. I think there will be 10.0 passes in the finals for sure.

How about we rent the track out all to our selves for the IAF Drag source guys and we have multiple races that way everyone can participate. we can have Manual shootout, a battle of the imports, a 10.5 race etc!! Get everyone out together at once. We can get some busniess to sponser some winnings for the class. my busniess is down to toss some cash. Im sure we can get Import Evo to toss in for the imorts and etc...!


We could even do a afternoon/ night rental and at the end of the claseses, have an ALL OUT everyone who wants in an thinks they have what it takes to do our own KOTS and we will get fiddy with a ice pick to scrape the starting lines etc! If planned right this could be off the hook!

We need a competative way to bracket it then. Last year we had people drive 2-3+ hours, make one pass, be eliminated. I know thats the nature of drag racing but I'm just trying to appeal to a broader crowd rather than the 3-4 low 10 second cars that everyone knows will win.

Granted, it would be fun to get me and Allgo in the finals again just to see me beat him again, but is that what is for the best for all people involved? (I had to throw that in there :))

we had lots of classes last year like the overall, manual, import, 11, 12 classes, etc . can't make everone happy. we could have a natually aspirated classes too. or a radial tire class. or a fwd class . I will disqualify myself from the import class so that award is really up in the air as I think the next fastest import was in the high 12's.

there was a fair amount of fast manuals and imports that weren't there last year so if they come this year it will be interesting (allgo, jesse, brent, trevor, batwood, boostedsohc, icwicked, xBoosted23x)

I put 300 miles on my car easily on a track weekend...but I know what you mean, what I meant by it was people should bring street driveable and street legal (by our standards) cars...for ANY event we hold on this day..

FiFdYnUtZ
11-30-2011, 11:19 AM
we really need to formulate a list of who plans to compete, and with what car. From there we can find suitable and competitive groups for racing...i think we should definitely look into renting the track for a day and even seeing if they will scrape it for us too, it may change the playing field significantly...even if it costs us $50+ per person the unlimited t&t time in between races could let people get A LOT of track time whether they are competing or not..

StreetSweeper
11-30-2011, 11:28 AM
I can also talk to Dumpster and find out detail on a track rental. I think a late afternoon/night rental would be best that way we could still run a 10.5 race before the sun goes down and scrape the track before dark for a KOTS style event. And we can run a FWD shootout and a Manual shootout inbetween! I mean even if it cost us 3 k to rent the track all to our selves we could gather that money with pre redgistration and sponser cash etc. I know fiddy has his ice pick and shit polished already!

AutoMods
11-30-2011, 11:31 AM
i like the idea of driving to the track or we could all meet at the track and go for a cruise to qualify as a street car. we could even do a cruise the week before. but if it gets overly complicated, we could lose participation. on the other hand, a dedicated race car could probably make the 30 minute street drive so does it really prove anything?

if we do a private track rental we will have to collect money from people so if they commit to coming and back out they do not get their money back. seemed like we had a lot of people say they were coming last year that didn't show up

StreetSweeper
11-30-2011, 11:35 AM
If were going to Get serious about this event we need to go to a pre redgisterd style anyway. I mean seriosly if somone cant make it and there going to cry over a 30-50 redgistration fee they dont belong fucking with cars anyway. most of us spend more then that to fill a bottle!

c_mart_28
11-30-2011, 11:55 AM
Well for me, the driving part isn't that big of a deal. I've driven it up there for each of the last 2 of these.

I'm more thinking about some of the other folks out there. If someone is expected to drive only 30-45 minutes that's considerably more tolerable than someone that may drive up 3+ hours with race gas in the tank or on bias ply tires, etc..

I'd say a fair compromise would be getting dropped off 30 minutes away or so.

StreetSweeper
11-30-2011, 12:09 PM
It can be what ever you want it to be. The point is why not make it so we all can be there together. I mean thats why were come on these boards anyway. With a track rental we can run a few different classes with one of them being the manual shootout. And by doing this you could regulate the class a little more to strictly manuals isince there is other classes to for people with Autos , Shit we can even have grudge racing after the classes have been ran, you no so "Allgo can whoop casey's ass with the vett after hes done putting on a show with the red car in true 10.5"

Heres the classes i think should be a must.

Rob Palmer Manual shootout ( Tighten the rules on this one to make it strictley manuals, If you wanna make it a MUST drive to regulation then so be it)
Battle Of Imports
True 10.5
KOTS

This way it makes somthing for everyone to all go and play at the same event!

I know one things for sure. ROB would be all for getting everyone out together since that is why he made exceptions for Dad and Chekal to be in, simply becuase he wanted participation, and i know he would love the fact of making an event to get us all involved!

StreetSweeper
11-30-2011, 12:23 PM
I think the best thing to do if were going to do this would be to select a few people from the boards to kind of take charge, in putting it all together. Maybe ryan could set up a private forum for us to put together some details then we can come present it to everyone and go back to the drawing boared if we have to. We will find out what its going to cost for the rental, once we have the classes/ rules set up we can then spread the word and get a idea on how many entress we have to that will give us a idea on price count for the rental costs and if we have to we can work to get sponsors to kick in if we need to bring the entry cost down etc. Just some people to work together to get it all going. I know Drifte is a good designer and could make a bad ass flyer or event thing to get it going once were ready to promote it.

As for a private section idk if we really need it. We do have the IAF promotional team section to put together things like this. IDK who is on it or who wants to be involved putting this together, but it sounds like we have a few people willing to work at it.

It will work.. Dad is allready talking about doing somthing on his own if we dont do it here. Let's get it together Eddy B has some busniess connections for sponosr payout money etc. Get us put in this section and lets start planning.. I heard back fron Dumpster Dan.. With pricing options and he said this is going to be a custom deal i dont wanna spread details untill we get in a closed section to sort everything out. He did say dates are limited already so we would need to get witht he planning process.

We can get somthing drawn up and then let it out on the boards publically and get oppinions, then if we need to change it we go back to the drawing bored tweak it and get it set in stone and start planning! Would be a blast for sure! And there will be somthing for everyone!

I like the idea of pre registering that way people have some skin in the game, but how would it work if the weather doesn't cooperate?

I don't think it would be a wise choice to require people to drive to the track. It will cut into the number of people that would come, and those that do come might not be as competitive because they are worried about breaking. If it's a legal street car, it's a street car in my book. Keep it simple.

As for pricing, I don't think there will be too much whining over $50 as long as spectators are free.

We really need to get an offical list on who would be down so we can get a car count together. We need to know a car count for rental purposes and then we can figure what classes were going to have etc. The amount of cars interested plays factor in how much time we need witch also plays factor in how many classes that will allow us to run. I have been in contact with Dumpster Dan and basically we need to get it figured out quick as rental dates are already limited.

No way to predict the day, but having control will allow the fast cars to put on a show (keep up with track prep, keep street guys off the track at times, etc) Sucks to put up the money, but I'd do it just to not see all the joe blow junk out there racing.

My house is about 10 minutes from the track if anyone needs welding, shop press, yada, yada. Even got a E85 pump out in the sticks by me as Casey can attest to.

Yes, I can attest to that station.

It's a bizarro world of a gas station, but they do indeed have E85.

And E-whatever that is probably still on the original tank full from when they first opened.

That is a weird station.

Last year's shootout had probably 50% of the people that said that they were going to make it, actually make it.

Still had 18 or 20 cars I think it was.

Does the cost of the rental go up exponentially based upon the car count? I'd think it'd be more about the time allotment than anything.

We are up for any ideas right now.

Here is last years participates. On top of these we may have had 3-5 more people come that weren't in that bracket. Rob's two mustangs and Andy's 4g63 mustang were not in the bracket. Are all spectators free during a track rental?

At this point I would feel comfortable guessing 30 racers. Hopefully more but its hard to say. We might have some of the guys that were just messing around this year for $20 not want to pay $75 to race next year for a private track event.

CFR also was willing to stay open later for us this year and seemed to give priority to our event during the public test and tune. They guaranteed me we would make sure we got through all the rounds. So they very well might be able to handle us even on a larger scale and still be a regular public test and tune.

I would think we need to charge a spectatior fee, or a PER car load fee if your not racing. Were going to need what we can to offset payouts and rental fee on shit that sponsors dont cover. Probalbly the best would be to do Per person but to lighten people up we could allways go per car! That is how True street allways did their races.

I missed 2nd gear this year at the shootout and it still ran an 11.2 . Right after the misshift pass it ran a 10.5 off a hot lap before the track closed,.... it was far from cool this year at the shootout. But the cooler the better.

Alright, I guess I'm going to have to spell it out beings how nobody is reading between the lines. This was also something I heard was a little bit of an issue and left some people not to excited about the way things were. Keep in mind, I'm just messenger. I wasn't able to make it so I'm just relaying info from people that did go. And it wasn't just from 1 or 2. Casey had the fastest ET, but wasn't awarded the prize, meaning it was based off of a "race" format rather than just who had the best numbers. While that's fine if that's the consensus, shouldn't all of the classes be set up the same way?

Option 1: Pick a class to run in and have it set up on a ladder like mentioned before
Option 2: Set up who wins each class by who has the fastest ET, except the obvious classes (KOTS, 10.5, etc)

I'm just pointing this out so it's a little better organized this go around and so nobody shows up and is confused.

I'd imagine the track has the liability to inspect cars on private rentals but I wouldn't be surprised if they were more lenient.

Sparkles, all the trophies were based off best et for the day except the main overall trophy and that was based off the 18 car bracket winner. It was assumed the quickest car would also win the bracket but that didn't happen.

However Casey won the manual class trophy based off best ET of the day.

We had about 5 classes and only 18 cars this year. You can't have brackets for every class because there isn't enough cars. For example the 12 second index class would have only had a couple cars in it. And if you let the same car compete in multiple brackets that would be hard to organize and line up the cars in a timely fasion, not too mention lots of passes down the track and hot laps.

slowride was telling me $100-$300 entry fee for some road racing tracks. add $$ for tire wear and fast wearing racing brake pads. race gas, etc. same thing for drifters. got to pay to play.

how much money does scott spend on nitrous on a track day???

Costs me 300-400 bucks in fuel, entry fee, nitrous, 4 sets of spark plugs, diesel etc everytime i race. Use about 20 lbs of nitrous with 1 qualifying pass and goin to the finals. 5.50/lb for nitrous i think

i should clarify when I was saying bracket above, I'm just referring to an elimination bracket as in how the cars are seated and advance in rounds, not "bracket racing" with handicaps.

George , do you know which dates are still open at cfr?

I really hope if we do a private track event that we can at least double our participation . From 21 this year up to 40+ cars

As of right now we only have 12 cars signed up in the thread chekal started. Going to need more of an idea then that to make it worth our while. Spread the word guys and get your name on the list so i can get a more accurate count so we can get dates and a better idea on cost etc. It all plays on how much track time we need.

Cool, costs me about $60 and nothing in parts, guess I got into the wrong hobby.....

Your choice man no one is making you spend that much, IMHO its a hobby and I dont want to spend more than my house payment doing it

id need to see a potentail date before id sign up as im not sure what time frame im lookin at for getting my car done.. cuz i am a broke ass and prolly shouldnt even own a car like i have since i cant hardly afford to do anything with it but its mine and I built it and I will continue to work my ass off and scroung for every penny to put towards my car I can for another 5years if thats what it takes just in hope of going to the track get druggggg but have fun regardless! that said 50 bucks seems like a hell of a deal for a day of races and fun but so do 99 cent burgers unless you only have 50 cents... just dont think its kool to bag on guys for not having money.

Yeah, Scott is definitely not bitching. He's just answering the question that was posed by Ryan earlier. Pretty sure Scott knows the costs of racing.

I think the Manual class should be sudden elimination seeing as how its such a broader outcome.

Also havent been to a party at cfr since Arm Drop Live, and that was a blast! I'll have to bring my pit bike

Not aware? just because I dont want to spend rediculous amounts of money doesnt mean I have no concept of it or dont have it at all. Its not my money when I work for other people, which is why Im not the one owns the 7sec supra. My previous cars were fairly cheap to build and I put 1-200 miles a week on them, never broke and ran on pump. make your own choices and dont rag on the rest of us that dont want to spend $500-$1000 to go to the dragstrip for the day, racing isnt worth being a broke ass

Guess Im a little late to the party here, but seriously?!? Ryan asked me a question and I answered it, I seriously cant even race a radio control car for 60 bucks a day so dont feed me that garbage. I've been lucky enough to win enough races to cover my expenses and consumables so Im not going broke, why dont you bring up your 7 second supra everyone is talking about for a little grudge racing since its so cheap to run?

Anyway 50 bucks for a tech card to any event beside T+T is not a bad price at all. At least you get a full day at the track, HEADS UP racing thats "organized" and good friends, cheap entertainment
