Street Car Shootout....Discussion

[Maximus]

The date is set for Sept 18th. We will leave the old Kmart parking lot (Near the Forest Fair Mall)at 12:30 and head to Tri-State.
When we arrive, you will get tech'd in and use the number they give you. After a run, you will stop by the Street Car Shootout "Pop Up" (It will be set up near the Ticket shack)and report your ET and MPH and show your time slip.

NOW, do you guys want.......

1. Your Best ET of the day to count?
2. An Average of your 2 Best Runs?
3. An Average of your 3 best runs?
4. One Hit, One run?

The track is open from 1pm-5pm and I would like to have time to get the top 12 their stickers and snap some pictures before we all leave.

So.....

1. Should there be a cutoff time at 4pm? (ie. IN the lanes before 4pm)
2. Run till TS says the lanes are closed and I can mail you your Top 12 Sticker?

Let me know what you guys are thinking. Dave did a Kick Ass job on the stickers so it will be worthy to show next to your SBZ DD sticker.

This is open to ALL makes and models of cars and trucks. The only rule is that the vehicle has to be able to be driven on public roads, LEGALLY, make the trip to the track and leave the track under its own power.

I would like to have everything finalized by the end of the week and post up an official Thread on Tuesday the 7th.


Thanks!

I say average of three passes and cut off at 4 that's plenty of time for three passes

[Walter]

This is gonna be cool! I say count your best et of the day. Make the cut off at 4pm that way everyone know whats what before leaving.

I've always been a fan of the best pass of the day

I've always been a fan of the best pass of the day

what all are you guys taking to the meet and drive up?

[dsmawd350]

i say best pass of the day or average of best 3. no limit on how many times you want to run

[Jeff88coupe]

I'd say best pass of the day, run as many as you want. Someone may want to call/email/talk to tristate to let them know that we are running a shootout on the 18th..if they could prep the track a bit extra it would be welcomed.

[mustangrfast88]

i agree with jeff on tell them about some track prep it sucked last weekend

[chad393na]

Are the twelve stickers dirty dozen stickers? What i'm asking is, do any times after the shootout count, or is that the end of the dozen for the year? Also, I think it should be best pass of the day.

[Metcalf Racing]

This is completely separate from the dozen

[Walter]

Someone bring some Pimp Juice LOL.

Avg of 3 , keeps the one hit wonders away. One pass on spray does wonders.

[Metcalf Racing]

Yeah so you can stand up on the back bumper and have to let out and run a 12.0 the go back around go up in smoke and run a 11.5 the get your car right run a 9.20 and average a 10.9. Gay

BOTH Great points!!

Ok. How about the Best ET of the day after running 2 or more times down the track.

[adragon72]

I was thinking best three not only three

[331TwistedWedge]

i like the best pass and i hope im ready ... sounds fun

[dsmawd350]

wait, who said anything about letting out? refer to the 5.85 on the back tires thread lol

Im with you. Avg of 3 passes. You will never make everyone happy.

[JASON408]

Slow guys are going to want a avg fast guys the best pass . Not going to make eveyone happy . The avg of all the passes only helps you out if you get one good pass in so the one hit wonder goes out the window . Because if you go 10.30 10.30 and 9.0 your avg is 9.86 if you go 10.30 .10.30 10.40 you avg is 10.33 so it only helps the on hit wonder move up with using a avg of 3 passes , and you get all day in 6 or 7 runs your going to have more than 1 or 2 good runs . I dont care either way but i still vote for lineing up the top cars and racing them . That takes the one hit wonder out of the mix .He has to go down the same junk track you do line them up

[Maximus]

So we will need to have the cutoff at 3pm. Then the top 12 will have to run back to back with minimal cool down time in order to get it in by 5. Thats not counting all the other cars that will be there.
