question!!! last year i had to pay to get in the show (gate) and then pay to show for the event? i remember going to another show there and didnt have to pay to get into the track but did for the show (meaning i was showing) any info on this? I mean i understand having to pay at the gate if your going to the show to watch but what about who are showing.....we have to pay twice?!?

4dmin
03-30-2005, 03:43 PM
^ everyone pays a gate admission, but we build it into the price of the events, so you actually will pay once. last year we had people pay to get in then register and pay for the show seperate; but that got a little confusing.

this year everyone will pay at the gate for whatever they are doing. :goodjob:

Why not the normal drag racing classes like N/A, Turbo, FWD, Etc?

I don't understand the closet E.T. thing, I could win money by running lower 14's with a stock car with an autmocatic because of the consistency as opposed to running a 13.8 and beating the slower cars.

Fuck The "Scene", We have the track. it was designed around a normal test-n-tune... the shows previous to this at the track showed classes didn't work out, maybe we'll change the format next year if we get enough response to. w/ the format as is levels the playing field for most drivers. but keep the suggestions coming i would like to see what UP thinks considering they are the most experience track guys on the site ;)

Why not divide the classes similar to the way some shops do dyno battles?

4 cyl n/a
4 cyl +1 power adder
4 cyl unlimited

6 cyl n/a
6 cyl +1
6 cyl unlimited

8 cyl n/a
8 cyl +1
8 cyl unlimited

and just to get a little more people interested maybe add:

2 door n/a
2 door with adders
4 door n/a
4 door with adders

You could compete in multiple classes and win in multiple classes possibly. Don't know how everyone feels about that, so I'll put it out there. That's 15 different classes that should be able to cover everybody from 100 hp guys to 1000 hp beasts. It wouldn't be fair to go up against someone that has power adders and you don't, just like it wouldn't be fair to be pitted against a purpose built race car either.

Power adder would need to be defined. Obviously, it usually means nitrous or FI, but you know how many ying yangs are out there so you wouldn't want someone running both or something. You also don't want to have a clear cut winner right out of the gate or people will lose interest. Most people like close racing. If you put some badass 10 sec Honda against a 14 sec car, it's a no brainer. People don't like to watch that. People would much rather watch (and participate) if they have a shot at winning or atleast placing. If you don't spread the field out a little, you'll have folks not wanting to do it because they know they don't have a chance before it even starts.

Either way....that's my :2cents: .

If you put some badass 10 sec Honda against a 14 sec car, it's a no brainer.your kinda missing the point, its like a friday night at the track, except you are running for money :D

last year we got a great response guys were getting 8-13 runs in like it was nothing and we had over 125+ competitors on the track.... like i said before thanx for the suggestions we'll take it into consideration for the next show

I WILL BE THURRR!! Of course VN has to support our IA boys!

If you're still taking suggestions - a good way was like Import shootout.

AWD
RWD
FWD
Unlimited

Most AWD cars are evenly matched - same with FWD and RWD, and keep the big dawgs in the unlimited to give the little guys a chance, LOL. :)

i finally see the confusion.....let's say i have a 13 second car....i am just warming up and i run a 14.036 which is the fastest 14 second run of the day but then once i get everything together and i work my way down to the low 13's and just for arguments sake i get the quickest 13 second run too...do i get both prize money or just the 13 second prize money? Say i only get the 13 second prize money....who gets the 14 sec prize money the next fastest after me? just now that i am confused i wanna know so i can understand....darn you ct9a gsr for dragging me into this!

no no no...

darn you for ruining my plans of running a 14.01, 13.01, 12.01, and 11.01 (I wish... lol).

And who wins the prize money for closest to 12 sec... a 11.999 or 12.001?

you can only take one "closest to", so in that scenero you would take "closest to 13sec"... and if its "11.999 or 12.001", 12.001 would be closest to 12 secs... if your running 11sec then you running for closest to 11sec. now the other cash awards for racing are up for grabs to anyone so you could win up to 4 cash prizes racing.

sorry for any confusion, the racing events last year, people really enjoyed, like i said its like a friday night at the track but you get more runs in and you are running for money :goodjob:

So... say I consistently run 11.7's and 11.8's throughout the day... but on one of my bad runs, I ran a 12.001... since I'm not anywhere near 11.000, can I still compete for the closes to 12 with the 12.001?

If not, this would encourage me to run slower just so I have a chance at winning money, assuming my car can only run mid to high 11's at best. =[

Also, I'm assuming AWD cars are excluded from the dyno competition, right? What kind of dyno will be there?

like i said before its like a friday night at the track, except 5$ off w/ the flyer, so only 15$ to run, and you have the chance to win money. if there is a need for us to start making classes for racing like other events we can do that next year. we are using the same format as before.

come out have fun running your car, check out some nice rides, girls, etc...

Ok, I have a quick class clarification question (sorry if this sounds n00bish), but what is the difference between conservative and mild. Basically which is more modified. Im not sure what class i would fit in. Is there a mod limit (or suggested limit) to each "class." I think I would be in the middle, but not sure whether the middle is mild or conservative.
TIA

05-13-2005, 07:57 AM
conservative, is normally someone w/ like wheels, exhaust, intake, tint, etc...

mild, is normally someone w/ the above, body kit, system, paint, etc...

wild, custom apps, paint, body, interior, system, motor, etc.

chuck
05-16-2005, 11:36 AM
is the sound competition going to be divided into any classes, like wattage or number and size of speakers??? I read the part about highest DB and the SPL competition, just wondering about the classes; if there are any.


also, can you compete in the conservative class with like a lip kit, rims, drop and basic bolt ons??

I have a question. I noticed on the preregistration you pick what class you want to enter mild, wild, conservative. Is there going to be someone monotoring that. The only reason I ask is because I heard that was a big complaint at the HIN shows because people got to pick their own class. I don't care, I entered wild because that is the class my car belongs in, but I know some people like to entire the mild class to take an easy win. Just trying to keep things fair for everyone and express a big concern that some people had. Thanks guys.
