All:
Please come out and join me in Reynolds for our much discussed Import vs Domestic Shootout on Sunday, June 25, 2006.
The track will open at noon. Racing begins at 1 PM and goes until 5 PM.

The focus of the event will be Import vs Domestic Grudge Matches. Depending on the number of Domestic vs Import matches that we have, I will open the event for Import vs Import, Domestic vs Domestic, or even test and tune. The grudge matches will have priority if time becomes short.

Gate fee will the $10 to enter/watch. I will be selling tech cards for racing. I will base the race fee on the tentative turn-out, but it will be very fair, tentatively $15-20.

Please check out Silver Dollar's website for more information on the track.

This is the place to let the cars do the talking. No more BS.

I will be handling all of the coordination activites. I will update this as I have more information on the classes and schedules, but I wanted to go ahead and get this posted out.

If you have suggestions on classes or anything else, please contact me (Chris) by email at [email protected] , or send me a PM (email preferred.)
I would appreciate your help in spreading the word. However, please contact me first if you want to post this on other forums.

Thanks for the time here, and Im anticipating an awesome event. Check back here for additional information as it becomes available.

Enough talking. Lets get it on!

Can we do call-outs in this thread to pre-arrange some grudge match runs?

Can we do call-outs in this thread to pre-arrange some grudge match runs?
Good question. Ill post a thread in the kills section for call-outs on this one. Id like to keep this thread more for information and general questions.

Id definately like to get some pre-arranged callouts, so I have an idea of the turn-out ahead of time.

[B16a2 Civic]

thats a good idea!

[static]

Sounds good. I'll hopefully have some more stuff done to my teg by then. I hope to be there and I'll bring some friends with their rides.

[lightspeed]

Guys, update already....
I had a couple people mention that they wouldnt be able to make it because of Father's Day plans that day. The track had suggested the 18th, but I called and they were able to do the 25th also.
So, the new date is June 25th. I updated my original post.

[~The_Duke~]

[0to60n2weex]

Oh hell yeah now thats worth coming to see. Since i'm up here at school at Nascar Tech Instiutute in North Carolina.... I'll ask some of these redneck, trash talking, cousin dating, hillbillies to bring their Novas and mustangs so they can finally shut-up. All they do is talk trash up here about imports. I can't wait to graduate and move back home to Gwinnett next march.

[David88vert]

So which should I bring? RX7 or Mustang or R1?

[BTEC]

[Tank]

you can add me to the list ill come out any challengers come on people this should be good oh and im dragging tigerjc ass up there to in his mr2 so theres 2 more

[lightspeed]

Guys, Ive gotten verbal confirmation from a lot of people who havent posted up.
Ill post up a more complete list in a week or so.
Please also check out the post in the kills forum for some of the call-outs. Ive been happy with the responses so far. Keep 'em coming.
Keep in mind that this isnt exclusively an import vs domestic. I wanted that to be the focus, but I am expecting we will have a good amount of time for normal races and test and tune. We will certainly use up all the time we have available.

[RUSH]

lol that is way the fuck down there...

http://www.silverdollarraceway.com/SpecialEvents.htm

I am working on a website that will have more information on the event, including a posting of all the pre-arranged races. There will also be a place for you to post call-outs and so-forth. Ill post a link to that as soon as its complete, probably in the next couple days.

[lightspeed]

Bump for this weekend...

Once again, the event is posted at www.silverdollarraceway.com under the Special Events section.

Ive had slightly less domestic response that I hoped for, but Ive gotten a lot more import responses. Im expecting a lot of import vs import action. Either way, there will be plenty of time to get whatever runs we want in. Test and tune is cool also.

Once again, fee at the gate for everyone is $10. This is required by the track.

Ill be selling tech passes to race at the inspection area. Im trying to make it as fair as possible, and Im expecting $20 should cover it. For those who go to other track days, youll agree this is more than reasonable. The track fee is coming out of my pocket, so Im trying to make it fair for everyone.

The track has race fuel, as well as food and beverages.

If you are not sure about the NHRA "rules," they are listed here:

http://www.nhra.com/contacts/tech_faq.html

Ive heard that on events like this, they arent that picky about the cages, but I would plan on having access to a helmet if youre in the 13's or better.

**if you plan to use the pit area to work on your car, please make sure you have a properly sized, approved 12 BC fire extinguisher also. They will probably be looking for this due to Georgia regulations.

Anyway, Im looking forward to seeing everyone out there.

[Quicksilverado]

Chris your Typhoon ran great. Very impressive.

[KevinT707]

Good stuff today, I had fun, I have even a worst farmer's tan now .. :)

[lightspeed]

Thanks for the truck compliments everyone. I was somewhat surprised to get in the 11's at all in that heat. I uncovered a few minor improvements that need to be made that I really expect to make big gains on the next time out. It was the first time to the track with a totally new setup, so I cant complain.
A lot of people seemed to be hurting due to the heat, but it was a good time none-the-less. Lots of good racing action. I just wish there had been more of the domestics out. Maybe next time.
And congrats to Ming for a smokin 120 MPH trap. Damn impressive.
Ill probably be planning another one near the end of the season. I think it was a really good turn-out.
Thanks for the good turn-out everyone!
Will made a lot of vids, so Im expecting them to be posted soon ;)

[Z0_o6]

i had a good time, you're right though the heat was rough on everybody. how about the orange CRX? that bitch was screamin down the track. nothing like spinning the slicks to the 1/8th. Kevin, we need a rematch sometime!
