First off, very special thanks to all the sponsors, competitors, and spectators who supported the 2009 NOS Energy Drink IMPORT FACE-OFF series. 2009 was our best year yet with 22 events nationwide. EVERY repeat location that was not affected by weather or date change had an increase in attendance from all years before. The scene dying is a MYTH.

The series is still growing and will have another national tour with atleast 25 events in 2010. The first IFO in 2010 will mark our 100th event since 2001. New for 2010 will be coverage from Import Tuner and PAS magazine. Schedule, new sponsors, and Points program to be updated on the website soon, www.ImportFaceOff.net

Yep, I hope ATL realizes this is not some parking lot meet or TnT session, but an actual COMPETITION with cash payouts and media coverage. If enough do not come out and support the event, it will not/can not be on the 2011 schedule.

The more shops, show cars, racers, and teams involved, the better! Please help spread the word while also being PAID: http://importfaceoff.net/promoters.htm

$100 reward to who ever takes out Mr. Stover during eliminations at the ATL race. He won the last two IFOs he competed at collecting $1400 in cash. The more he wins, the higher the bounty will go up.

Fliers are in. If anyone would like to help pass out, please email your name and mailing address to [email protected] Promoters are assigned a number and are paid on commission, $2 for every flier that comes in with your number on it. Spectators bring in the fliers because of the $2 off admission coupon. Checks are mailed out within a week after the event. The program pays well if you get enough fliers out. There are successful, repeat promoters every year at every location.

I do have a question.. if you want to enter in two classes do you pay double the registration fee?? I'm assuming you do just wondering.

GSRcaucAZN78
02-25-2010, 03:15 PM
two race classes or show classes? For show, there is no extra charge. All cars are eligible for multiple classes. For racing, if want to register for 2 classes, you must pay for 2 tech cards, so yes. However, we've been discouraging racers from doing this as there have been too many problems with this lately. Racers are not coming back in time to racer for their next class and their are no refunds if you miss your round.

Thats because that is not the responsibility of the race body. Safety regulations are at NHRA.com of course you have to have a helmet if you run faster than 13.99

GSRcaucAZN78
03-15-2010, 02:37 PM
Yes, we'll do our best to reschedule if it's rained out, but HOPEFULLY weather forecast will be OK. 30/40% isn't so bad. There have been several IFO events with those forecast amounts. Last year had to be canceled because it was 80% forecast for the entire day, and it did rain/mist the entire day.

If the weather is questionable on the morning of the event, call the IFO voice mail for event status, 225-247-RACE (7223). It will be updated regularly.

im hoping for good weather cause IFO events kick so much ass, one of the best events of the year for sure.


ill be there doing photo coverage of the event so if you see me(6ft 4in skinny white dude with a camera and huge camera lens) make sure to do a nasty burnout in the waterbox for me!!!!!

im bitching and crying because event planners keep holding track events there and expect different results. host an import based track event at commerce and it will rain you out. tell me once in the past 5 yrs that a tunerfest, nopi drag race or import face-off hasnt rained out there. i dont understand why people keep using that track....

Yes its to late, you cant just bail on a scheduled date with a track even if SDR date is open. There are contracts and all sorts of stuff that goes into getting a track date. SDR is a good location and i do think cliff should move it to there or Carolina Drag Way if this one rains out.

It didnt rain out at the October Event lol.

The Forecast can completely change tomorrow or friday.

IFO does not cancel an event until the very last minute and only if absolutely necessary. Again, if the weather looks questionable ON SUNDAY MORNING, call the IFO line at 225-247-RACE (7223) for event status. The voice mail will be updated regularly. Do not count on the website to have up to date event status as the webmaster is not in office on Sunday. Again, call the voice mail.

As for location, that has little to do with the weather, people. It's just luck of the draw. If it rains at ATL dragway any certain day, it will most likely be raining at Silver Dollar too. The current forecast is the same for Reynold, GA.

It looks like the bad weather has shifted to afternoon/evening. Racers, this means rounds might be rushed to get things done early. If you need more time for a quick fix/cool down/etc. to make it back into the lanes for the next round, send someone to the tower to let us know. We can wait if need to.

Car show contestants, judging may be rushed too, so don't get upset if the judges review your car faster than normal.

If it looks like the weather might hold off until evening, schedule will go back to normal times.

IFOs are day time events and have always been on Sundays. More shops and competitors can participate when the events are on Sundays because they are usually off work (most shops are still open for business on Saturdays).

Due to unfortunate events, my blue car will not be in attendance. I will be there helping josh green get into the 10's with his street car if the weather holds out. This really bums me because from the little testing i did, it was a 9 second runout. It will be fixed within the week as the damages are minor but impossible to fix in the next 8-10 hours. If only i had an extra 24 hrs.

So much for the bounty because i wanted to defend that badly.

First time in over 3 years that i have missed an entry into an event and i'm tore up about it.
