Regional Top 5 Drag Racing Event - Where do you Rank?
-
i dunno, but having a bunch of 1000+hp cars racing and running 8s it takes 99% of the people in the region out, making it kind of pointless. I might have to order up a roll bar next week, but im not really a part of any club, so i would have to figure out who to be associated with.

I'm glad you guys kind of see where we are coming from with this event. We are trying to keep as many people involved as possible and with the diversity in peoples' racing vehicles it's tough.
We actually thought about doing the 15, 210 or 30 mile cruise in order to qualify, but that opens up a whole new bunch of issues to work through.
What if someone wants to race a car that doesn't have a license plate? What about vehicles devoid of DOT equipment for the purpose of drag racing? Also think of the headache getting everyone together, going to a cruise and keeping track of who does an doesn't make it.
Trust me, we've spent a lot of time on getting the rules to a bare minimum but being the most effective. Doing a pre-cruise is unreasonable we think, but possibly in the future things could change.
The other thing I'd like to point out is that although this event is designed to find the fastest regional car club, it will also be a cool opportunity to find out where your particular group ranks in our area.
The last thing I want to say here, is that the definition of a car club is pretty sketchy. Everyone will have a different idea as to what constitutes as a car club so we left it very broad and open to interpretation.
This is what the rules state about the definition of a car club: "• Car Club: Any group of 5 or more people that have a name for their group that wish to compete."

The question was brought up at tintmasters.net forums if the $40 entry fee is in addition to the standard entrance fee?
The answer is no. The $40 registration fee for this event is all you have to pay to get in and race all day.

So a few questions, Do you have to designate which 3 passes you want to count, or is it your first 3 passes or what??
Each pass counts so 15 passes per team will make the total?? No writeoff passes??
I think some other awards would be cool, like most organized team, most unique team, fastest FWD/RWD/AWD or 4cyl/6cyl/8cyl. More awards would get more people to come out.

These things will bring out more people by making the playing field more level/even. I would love to see a shoot out of the fastest 4 cylinders of Fargo vs Mpls (for example).

What do you mean by writeoff passes? Do you mean like if someone can't finish a pass, or only makes 1 or 2? If that is what you mean, then yes the default pass time is 15 seconds.

Depending on the participation turnout we probably will do more awards, but for the first year we just don't know exactly what to expect. If we get a lot of participation then we can afford more trophies/awards for this event.

I really think it should be the best pass for each car, or the best 2 out of 3 passes or something so that if there is a problem you don't count every pass.
How are you choosing the 3 runs to count?? Is it first 3 passes of the day, or do we have to tell you before the pass, or just the 3 best passes for the car??

I concur. Best single pass for each car or average of best 2 passes. Limit writeoff passes to 2 or 3. That way,you will see some good runs instead of people trying to push their car right away and screwing something up.
