    My .02

    Here what i think would make drag racing at Idrag more fun.

    Time trials for 3 hours

    Then heads up for the rest of the day

    bikes vs bikes 9.00-10.00 10.01-11.00 11.01-12.99

    11.01-12.00 $20.00
    12.01-12.50 $20.00
    12.51-13.00 $20.00
    13.01-13.50 $20.00
    13.51-14.00 $20.00
    14.01-14.50 $20.00
    14.51-15.00 $10.00
    15.01-16.00 $10.00
    16.01- higher $10.00

    The sponsor could give out cash for the 1st place of each group ( must be 10 or more cars per group..?? I know its not alot of money but its enough money for gas you wasted.

    Just a thought..

      I agree. Just think if they did that on regular weekend as well, just have a street class where they break it up like that, would be awesome. Instead of racing some 19 second grand am that gets the same exact time each run, we would be racing cars which are close to our own. I would definately be more apt to go out and race. With Street Legal days, it is definately fun to just go out and make runs. But, it would add to it to have a shootout type deal like you are saying. This way we would maybe have the people that say it is only worth drag racing once coming out for the competition.

        Yes, we already discussed this the other day remember? just trying to figure out the final details of how to lay it out. Rock Falls sets up brackets exactly like this, but we as a shop were going to try offer some sort of payout/prize to each class winner.

        We'll have a thread started once all the details are figured out. But i think we may have to cut the car count minimum down as 10 cars/class i dont think is doable for every class.

                      So, why don't you guys just meet up wherever you feel like it? call people and tell them to come out. It's so easy. For instance, I know of several weekly meetings at various locales around the cities. I have the option of going out to car gatherings at least 3 times a week, more if I were to search or care. The activites vary from having half off apetizers at applebums or "hot racing action" or cruising/sitting watching cars at porky's, and so forth.

                      don't be sad because something isn't happening, get people's numbers and have them come out. i'll show you how it's done when I get there late august. Have no fear!

                      edit: stop talking about what your dad did or bought. that's gay.

                        We know how to get shit together, we just don't have any place to go like in the cities. We get meets together and cruises every once in awhile. There just isn't enough interest in it. That's all we are saying.

                        At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

                              I think a lot of us are interested in meet up places, but the only thing is what places? that is sort of a hold back..

                                This week I will try to get something done. Someone mentioned the new Scheels, so I guess I will start there. Even if they loaned us the old All-Sports lot for the time being, that would be a huge advantage.

                                    No shit, this is just downright ridiculous... If we get one BIG meeting like we had last year, that will be enough to get more going on in later weeks.
                                    Does anyone remember that meeting. If i remember right there mustve been 50 plus cars... shit was crazy...

                                    no race car? becuz homeowner...

                                        I would probably head over to fargo for a big meet if i could get the nite off of work.......or you should arrange one in late august or september (maybe around time of perfect 10 or the nite after the last street legals) and have all the forks guys come down too since i will be up there for school.

                                          I think I was there for that one. That was a damned good meet.
