Street Car Shootout....Discussion

[Maximus]

Im kind of digging an actual shootout. Take the top 16 and line them up on a ladder. 1 vs 16, 2 vs 15 on the other side etc etc. That way the top 2 "SHOULD" meet in the final....Now we are getting a bit Hairy in the logistics part. Im thinking TS might want some $$ if we come asking for them to host an actual shootout. Im looking at it like, hey, we are bringing you EXTRA gate money so how about you hook us up. But they dont always see it that way.
Now if we all just show up and do our normal T&T and we keep track of our own, it would be a lot simpler....WTF!! Why is this Shit so complicated!!?!??!

While the Kmart might be a good location to meet, have fun getting out onto Winton Road as a group. That intersection on the weekends suck.

Im with you on the actual shoot out, i am sure we can come up with a couple people that arent running that will help the brackets. i usually have 2 or 3 people that come with me just to watch. im sure they will help.

wether you do the best pass or average pass really doesnt matter to me, but what does matter is seeing these cars run more than 1 or 2 passes.



im going to stop by today

Keep it simple, drive there, best pass, drive back, done.

I see your point ... dam tracks always get greedy be fun either way !!!

With some minimal effort I think we run the shootout ourself. Triskate opens at 12:30..runs 1 to 5pm. So meet at the K-mart lot at 11:30 am...leave for tristate at Noon. Guys can run qualifing passes (how ever many you want) untill 2:30. Your best pass is used for qualifing. Top 16 get put on a Pro ladder. 1st round at 3pm. That gives us 2 hours to run 4 rounds. Little tight time wise..but it should work. I mean these are street cars right...how much cool down time do they need

[Maximus]

Meet at Kmart 10:30-11. Sign in from 11:00-11:45. Leave at 12.

I will need a sign in shet so I can keep track of everyone when they start running at TS.

[Maximus]

I think I figured it out......

We will run the Shootout and award the top 16 with a Cool Sticker.

IF WE HAVE THE TIME, we will take those Quick 16, pair em up, and run them HEADS UP for the title of King of the Street!!! No 2nd place, no 16th place, just the car that can survive 4 rounds of racing!! (Limited on cool down time due to time restraints)

Ill have to talk to the girls up at TS and see if they can help us out and see if we can get this done in 4 hours!!

Just to clear up the rules. Current registration and Proof of insurance are required for this race Right?

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!

Thats is the way it was org. posted. This is why they are calling it a street car shootout and why i say a 3 pass avg.

[fasthawk]

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

If it is really a street car then it should be dialed in by now.

[dsmawd350]

i say average of your 3 BEST passes. not limited to only 3 but have to make atleast 3

[stocknotch]

Sometimes the street hooks better than tristate...

[JASON408]

Take that for what it is worth.
