**Nittanys1** · 03-27-2005, 06:19 PM

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, 04:43 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.

**Nittanys1** · 03-30-2005, 04:46 PM

sounds like a plan!

**BMM8764** · 04-01-2005, 08:08 PM

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.

**Chuckster** · 04-09-2005, 05:05 PM

Times???

**Pablo** · 05-03-2005, 12:23 PM

ummm.....4pm to 10pm

**Allstar3.8T** · 05-03-2005, 01:42 PM

see ya there

**ruah_23** · 06-11-2005, 11:52 PM

I already preregister for the event on the website.
What do I show them when I buy the ticket?

**Pablo** · 05-03-2005, 02:06 PM

cant wait to see the Vdub.....

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

**A.P. Photography** · 05-03-2005, 02:30 PM

How about a strippers pole and the girls can all compete against each other

I will be there for this one Paul.

**Jaimecbr900** · 05-03-2005, 05:21 PM

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

BTW, I like these classes but still...

your kinda missing the point, its like a friday night at the track, except you are running for money

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

**rollininstyle2004** · 05-08-2005, 04:29 PM

Anyone want to caravan to the show from the Alpharetta area?
Ill most likley be there.

**4dmin** · 05-09-2005, 01:39 PM

just just added a new award:

- BEST JDM ($100 cash prize) thanx to "Cool Cat Racing"

**Dragonfly5338** · 05-09-2005, 03:07 PM

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.

**ct9a gsr** · 05-09-2005, 03:20 PM

I suggest the same catagories as Import Showdown... very well organized and very well done... and I will also be attending this event with my new setup... ^.^

**Ryno** · 05-09-2005, 04:29 PM

I'll be there if my car is done, which it will be.

**Brett** · 05-09-2005, 09:15 PM

If you cant show/race, I hope to see you all out there to support and spectate, This will be one of the best shows of 2005!!!

**Mr2InSaNe** · 05-10-2005, 12:02 AM

I'll be there, dunno if mine is capable for show, but will be there most likely to have fun.

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?

**da1285** · 05-11-2005, 09:25 PM

can anyone hook me up with a couple flyers for the tunerfest show?
